We would like to wish all our members and their families a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

We hope everyone has enjoyed all that the first half of the season has had to offer.

We have a lot to look forward to in the New Year including the club dinner on Jan 26th, an end of season club day, another junior event, a fundraiser (venue tbc) and hopefully another pavilion lunch. This is before we even think of the hockey!!

We look forward to seeing everyone back in January

Results
Teams did their best to finish the first half of the season on a high last week, with the ladies 1sts getting the pick of results. In a game that saw our two mens 1sts players square off their coaching skills, Jodys team narrowly game out on top, getting the better of Railway 2s 1-0. When combined with Wednesday evenings 1-1 draw with a strong Loreto side, it means the girls remain unbeaten within the league.

The mens 1sts were free of league competitions but were due to take place in the IHA indoor competition. Unfortunately due to other teams pulling out this round was cancelled. The IHA will confirm how the competition will now progress.

The ladies 2s came out strongly against Genesis and went 1-0 up before eventually succumbing to a 3-1 loss.

The ladies 3rds early morning game to Skerries was canceled. However, they finished well by beating Our Ladys 2-1 away on Wednesday evening.

The mens 3s had to endure a feisty battle with YMCA but comprehensively beat them 7-2, with Freddie Morris bagging a coupe of goals.

Congratulations
A huge well done to Freddie Morris and Daragh Walsh on their call up to the 23 man Irish u16 panel. Great achievement!

Junior Parties
Over 130 of our juniors came together over the weekend to enjoy some mixed fun prior to Christmas. Games such as ‘The big egg drop’, ‘welly wanging’, ‘the human knot’, and ‘aardvark’ were all enthusiastically participated in. Santa even paid a visit to the u8/u10 session on Saturday morning. Thanks to all for attending and also to the senior members who helped out. We hope to have another mixed event at the end of the season. Some pictures can be found in the photo section of the site….apologies if blurry, theres some very quick up and coming players out there!

Good luck
Best of luck to Alan White on the mens 1sts as he embarks on Erasmus to Canada in January. His presence on the squad will be missed but we look forward to seeing him back at the start of next season!
