Junior Interpros
Huge congrats to all our players selected for the upcoming Junior inter pro tournament this weekend.
We are fantastically represented on the ladies side with no less than 5 players selected for the tournament in Cork this weekend. Well done to Sinead Holden, Maebh Holden, Barbara Snow, Isabelle Hoyne and Julie Garvey who will all line out for Leinster.
On the mens side Ben Epstein has made the panel, which has our own Niall Denham as coach
Well done and best of luck to all involved!
Masters
Rovers also had plenty of interest in last weekends Masters inter-pros. Maura O’Neill captained the Leinster over 45s, while Stephen Bredin made the trip back from the Middle East to line out for the Leinster over 40s. Paul Fitzpatrick also lined out for the over40s, nabbing a few goals to seal their win, while Rob Haughton and David Gilmore played for Leinsters over 50s. Well done to all!
In the Grand Masters Celtic Cup, Stuart Switzer was part of the team making an Irish debut at an over 60s level in Glasgow this weekend.
Cup winners
Well done to the u14 boys who won the Bailey Cup at the weekend (picture). The team beat Railway in the semi-final before winning 1-0 over Monkstown in the final. Many thanks to Monkstown for hosting the event.
Huge thanks to Niall Denham and Luke Madeley for coaching the side all year
100 cap acknowledgement
Mens 1sts captain Mitch Darling was acknowledged by the club last Saturday at the mens 1st end of season BBQ. Mitch, at only 25, surpassed the 100 cap mark as a senior international last summer. The club presented him with a small moment for the occasion to mark such a superb achievement. We look forward to seeing the next 100!
Vets fest
The annual vets fest takes place in 3 weeks on the weekend of the 24th/25th of May. This is always one of our most successful weekends of the year, thanks mainly to the huge work of the committee of Trevor, Siobhan, Nathan and Natalie.
The year the tournament will mark the last occasion on our current front pitch! The final night of the event involves a hog roast and a ceili. The night is open to all although tickets will need to be booked in advanced for the food. If interested please contact Siobhan for more details (shivmade@msn.com)
