Huge thanks to Ravi and Emma for all their work last weekend. They cooked up a fantastic meal for 50 people in aid of the indoor trip to Budapest. This, along with the generously supported raffle ensured over €1000 was earned to send the lads away in Februaury. Many thanks to everyone who contributed and helped with the night!
Congrats to Freddie Morris and Daragh Walsh (u16) and to Harry Morris and Luke Madeley (u18) for their call ups to Irish trials following last weekends inter-pros. Well done to Harry and Stuart on winning the competition with the Leinster u18 side.
On the senior side of the club last weekend had mixed results for our teams.
The mens 1sts had a disappointing 3-0 loss to Monkstown away, widening Pembrokes gap at the top of the table to 5 points again. They will hope to turn this around on Saturday at 12pm away to Railway.
The mens 2s take a break from league action to take on Pembroke in the Irish Junior Cup at home at 12pm. They will be followed directly by the ladies 2s in their Junior Cup game as they welcome Ulster Elks at 2pm. The ladies did not have a league game last week but were due to play Swords on Monday night. This game was cancelled due to flooding in ALSAA and will now be rescheduled.
The ladies 1sts bowed out of the Irish Hockey Trophy, succumbing 3-1 to Bandon. They will not have a league game this Saturday but play North Kildare in a refix of the Leinster Senior Cup at 8pm on Wednesday night at home.
The mens 3rds won 4-2 against Corinthians in an exciting game and will play Rathgar at home this week at 4pm. The 4ths had a comprehensive 5-1 win against Fingal but face a trip away to Kilkenny this weekend. The mens 5ths are also on the road, but only to North Kildare. The report from their game against Trinity last weekend can be found in the team news and match reports section of this site.
The ladies 3rds will hope to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Loreto when they play Pembroke at home at 11.30 on the back pitch. The ladies 4ths meanwhile were the victims of frost last Saturday and so had an unplanned weekend off! They take on Genesis away at 2pm this weekend.

Sam Ryder , Ben and Dan Walker , Conor Empey and Nick Judge starred in the pouring rain
Meanwhile the girls u8 and u10s had their matches cancelled due to frost, with the same fate befalling to the u14bs. The u12s had wins and draws against Dalkey – well done! The u16bs lost to Glenanne.
