Gael Scoil Update

Scoil

On Thursday night the 25th of August the club held a special EGM. A full house of  full members voted on the issue of giving the lease of a section of the ground we have at our club house back to DCC. They in turn would have to hand it over to the Department of Education for a new school to be build on the site. After a very lively debate there were a lot of questions asked as the motion was put to the floor on the issue of the lease. (more…)

Day 3 & 4 of Festival Week

Volunteer

On Monday 16th Aug, the festival had a night and day of hectic activities. At 2-5pm 130 senior citizens danced and sang the day and night away in the club lounge to the music of Bobby Smith.

The club want to thank Club Cabs and our own members who gave their time to look after the older people. At 7pm the U8′s had a great match against Oliver Plunkets/ER 0n the all weather pitch, with our U11 camogie team playing the same opposition in the Bogies.

On the other pitch in the Bogies our senior Comogie team were well beaten by a strong Brigid’s team in the quarter finals of the championship. Our annual club mass was held in our gym room with over 70 people remembering past members who are now deceased.

The club house was packed with our own Craig Gallagher playing music to a captive audience. Tuesday was greyhound racing night with over 160 people attending our race night at Harold’s Cross. A great night was had by all!!

Day Two of Festival Week

65 Years2

Day two of festival week again brought the sun out as our two junior adult teams followed on from our first team with both picking up wins. The second team beat St Vincents away with a great display of football, while the third team beat Clontarf in a good game at home in the Bogies.

The Jonathan O’Reilly Tournament was held on the all weather pitch from 2 to 5 pm for 8 to 10 year olds. 30 boys and girls played 6 great games in a well attended event. The O’Reilly family presented the cup to the winners, while all players got medals for taking part.

Martin Costello celebrated his 50th birthday in the club last night while Denise Loftus celebrated her 40th birthday, the club sends them both best wishes. Hard luck to the Dublin minor hurling team and our own Eamon Dillon as they put up a great show in the semi-final, just a little bit short at the end.

One More Victory!!
