It was a tough week for the ladies sides as each of them suffered defeats in their league campaigns. The firsts fell to a disappointing 0-5 defeat to Muckross on Saturday in a game that has to be chalked off as a bad day in the office. The 3rds were unfortunate with their 0-1 loss to Malahide, while the 4ths had an equally tight loss to Guinness. Last night the 1sts played UCD in a game brought forward from the 14th of December. UCD proved too strong as they won 3-0, while Aisling Hogan was gifted with a broken nose for her efforts on the night.

The u16 girls had a great 4-1 win over Hermes in the cup on Sunday morning with strong performances from Robyn, Sadie, Aoife and Rebecca showing that the futures bright!
On the mens side the 1sts comfortably kept themselves top of the table with a 3-1 win over Glenanne on Sunday. Mitch gave the lads a 2-0 lead before Glenanne converted a stroke. Some harsh corners in the dying minutes meant Westy was called upon to keep the lead before Joe finished the game with a corner conversion during the last seconds.
