Many thanks to all involved in last Sundays official pitch opening!

The club was packed throughout the day as the u16 girls, u16 boys and mens 1sts all took on Avoca in a series of games.

Present on the day were invited guests Angus Kirkland (EHF Director General), Percy Henchy (LHA president), Richard Kendrick (IHA president), Roger West (DUHC president), Ian Roberts (pitch consultant), and Councillor Neale Richmond, along with our club trustees. Our own club President opened the pitch by thanking the pitch committee for their work in selecting the turf. The committee were Tony Nicholson, Siobhan Madeley, Cedric Christie, Geoff Brooks, Grace O’Malley, Jody Hosking and Ali Keogh, who were all expertly advised by Ian Roberts. Ailis then cut the ribbon with two of the youngest members of the club Samuel Nichols and Eimear Cummins.

The crowd then watched as the mens 1sts played their first league home game of the season, beating Avoca 2-0. Following the game, cake was enjoyed by all, along with the refreshments provided by the Wooden Spoon Café. Richard Kendrick spoke on behalf of the IHA congratulating all in the club on the fundraising and effort that went into the relaying of the new surface. Club captains Andrew Walker and Mandy Bools then presented the mens 1st XI with their medals from last years Irish Senior Cup win.
