Last weekend proved to be one to forget for most of our teams unfortunately!

All of our ladies sides suffered defeats. The 2s lost 4-2 to Trinity, the 3s 3-0 to Botanic and the 4s 7-0 to Tullamore. The 1s meanwhile lost 2-1 to Clontarf. No goalscorers were provided by captains, please feel free to email me at alisonfkeogh@gmail.com with names for any future games.

Clontarf were tough opposition for many of our teams on Saturday as our mens 3s fell to a 3-1 defeat, while the mens 2s had to wait on a last breath winner from John Blakeney to grab the full points with a 3-2 win. Gary Ringwood got the other two in that game…one a cracker on his reverse Im reliably informed!!

It wasn’t all doom and gloom though as the mens 5ths won 2-1 over Navan, and the mens 1sts found their way into the quarter finals of the Irish Senior Cup with a 6-2 win over UCD (Mitch x 2, JB, Jody, Blakers and Harry Morris). Having been 2-0 down, it was quite the comeback with some cracking goals being scored to set up a date with Banbridge away on November 15th for the next round.

The bank holiday this weekend sees our ladies teams grab a weekend off, while theres no rest for the men. The mens 1sts take on Monkstown at home in a huge game at 3pm. The 2s meanwhile travel away to the same opposition on Sunday at 4pm, in a game that has been moved back a day due to the heavy player involvement in the All Ireland Schoolboy Tournament this week in Cork. The mens 4ths and 5th also play at home on Saturday against Protrane at 2pm, and YMCA at 1pm respectively. The 3s game against Trinity has been postponed due to the Intervarsity tournament.
