Champions

On a cold Saturday afternoon near the Dublin Meath border, our senior footballers played Clann Mhuire in the last game of the league.

A win would give the Barrs the league while a loss would put us in a play off with a number of teams in the running. In a tense low scoring first half, the Barrs found it hard to settle and should of been ahead by six points against a very hard working Clann Mhuire team.

Nerves were getting the better of our squad as the teams went in level, four points a piece at half time. The move of Keith Russell out to the half foward and a two man inside line paid off as Gerry Doddrill kicked three great points in a matter of minutes. (more…)

Weekend Results

u12's

On Sathurday our U12,13 and U14′s won their matches. Our U15′s were beaten in a great game against Lucan Sarsfields.

Our Minors drew in the hurling championship with Crumlin having led by seven points with ten minutes left, they were lucky to hang on.

Our U16′s were beaten by a very good Liffey Gaels team in the semi final of the league while our Junior football team were beaten by Na Fianna in their last match of the league. However the team finished in the top four of the league which sets them up nicely to drive on next year and win promotion.

Junior Hurlers

Our junior team travelled out to Lucan Sarsfields ground on a wet Sunday morning. This was the quarter final of the championship and the Barrs were looking forward to the challenge .

Choco’s men didn’t let the parish down as they went on to win a tough game by four points. Great performances were given by Billy Hyland, Thomas Gleason, Hocks Rooney and Stephen Brown.

Christy Mauler O Neill was everywhere and his fitness has come on great. Hopefully we can push on now and win this championship as we have a home game in the Bogies for the semi finals. Well done lads!!

Retirement of Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh

Friday, September 17th, 2010


The Barrs of Cabra wish Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh all the best on his retirement. The Ó Muircheartaigh moment that our club members have been talking about over the last two days is the match between Tipparary and Galway.

Pat Fox got the ball and Joe Rabbit went in chase of him. Micheal’s take on this was,

“You never seen a Rabbit chase a Fox, well here in Croke Park its happening before my eyes.”

Go raibh milie maith agat o na phobal as Cabrach Baile Ath Claith.

We also want to thank Micheal on his support for the club in the promotion of our native languish in th Cabra area through the Gaelschoil Bharra which the club founded. ‘Slainte agus Saol chugat.’

Best Wishes

Juvenile Results

U8's

The U8′s travelled out to Man of War and got a very friendly welcome. The pitch is situated in a lovely part of north Dublin.

It is up on a height which you wouldn’t think existed in this part of the country. The view takes in Ireland’s eye, Howth head, the Dublin Mountains and a view of the city which is outstanding.

We had four great games and all the children had a great time. The U14 team were beaten by 5 points but there was alot of disatisfaction with the referee in Commercial. The team are still on top of the league and hopefully they will keep the progress going.

The U13′s also had a problem with the whistler out in Erins Isle. They went down by a point with some very bad decisions going against them. Our U12 team had a good win while our U11′s enjoyed themselves in Garristown.

Minor Hurling Championship

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Last Sunday St Kevin’s travelled to the Bogies with high hopes of securing two points in this group of the Minor Hurling Championship. On a sunny morning in Cabra the Barrs were looking forward to the challenge and after ten minutes went three points ahead.

All changed in the next ten minutes with St Kevin’s hitting two soft goals to go in front. It was a lead that they never relinquished until the last ten minutes of the game when the Barrs scored two goals.

The winning and losing of this game centred around discipline and the Barrs came out on top in that department. Having lost one of their top players with 12 minutes left, St Kevin’s lost their way even though they fought back to within a point in the seventh minute of extra time.

The first half was very scrappy with frees been the main vehicle for scoring. Troller had a blinder with some great scores and a man of the match performance. The Barrs showed their traditional strength of keeping going until the end with a strong team performance. Both teams gave it their best shot and the game was played in a very sporting manner.

Great Win for Junior Footballers
