Christmas trees at Grange Road
Once again Christmas trees will on sale at Grange Road this year, start date TBC, but we hope that as many members and their families will support the club by buying a tree from Grange Road, as the club will get a percentage from the trees sold. So the more the merrier!
Junior update
20 x 20
As you will all be aware the 20 x 20 “ cant see it, can be it” campaign was formally launched in the Club. This campaign is being led by a very enthusiastic sub committee of Senior members and has been welcomed with excitement by the Junior Club ( as was demonstrated by the overwhelming support of both boys and girls who turned up to training sporting their red stripes on their faces !
Lucy Kelly who plays for the Inter girls is one of the Junior representatives on this committee and here is her report on the weekend :
20×20 – Show your Stripes
On the weekend of the 13th of November, in support of the 20×20 campaign, all the 3 Rock girls, boys and coaches lined their faces with red stripes to training. It showed great solidarity between the girls, boys and coaches. Some of us wore red lipstick, eyeliner and the stripes !! We were fortunate with the weather on the Friday evening as it didn’t rain and our stripes didn’t fade away. I can’t say the same however for the junior girls on Sunday morning ! But nevertheless, the support for the campaign didn’t go unnoticed with even some of the parents “ showing their stripes”.
For people wondering as to why we wore the stripes it is the symbol of the 20×20 campaign. It is a campaign which encourages the participation of women in sport. They hope to achieve more media coverage for women, more female participants and more attendance at women’s games by the end of 2020 and beyond.
It was great fun to be part of this event. A big thank you to Avril and the 3 Rock 20×20 group for organising and to Brendan & Chris for taking all the pictures over the weekend.
Keep an eye out for more on this in 2021!
THE LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS
There is a lot going on in the Junior Club in the lead up to Christmas ! We are delighted and grateful to have been able to keep training over the recent Level 5 Lockdown. We will update you on any changes to this following the Government decisions this coming Friday.
In the meantime, our first Christmas event is this weekend and is our collection of items of non-perishable food and books and toys for the PETER MC VERRY TRUST which is working with homeless people in Dublin.
THREE ROCK ROVERS YOUTHS CHRISTMAS APPEAL IN AID OF THE PETER MCVERRY TRUST
Christmas is going to be very hard for many families this year and with this in mind we have been in contact with the Peter McVerry Trust who do fantastic work helping homeless people in Dublin. They would be thrilled with any donations that we gather which they will distribute to families over the coming weeks.
With this in mind we are planning a collection this coming weekend if any of the children would like to contribute.
- Warm new clothes- eg hats, gloves, socks etc
- Toiletries – soap, shower gels, shampoo etc.
- Toys – for children of all ages
- Books and colouring materials
- Selection boxes
- Tins of biscuits
There will be a collection point at each pitch at all training sessions Friday 27th, Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th of November and the Gaisce coaches will happily accept any donations.
This is completely voluntary and no one should be under any obligation to contribute as we know that people have their own charities that they support.
