A successful start to most league campaigns was enjoyed by 3 out of 4 of our ladies teams last Saturday! The 3s and 4s both won 1-0 against Clontarf and Pembroke, while the ladies 1s beat Trinity 3-0, Val Aoife and Sadie with the goals. The 2nds fought a tight early game with Pembroke but were unfortunate to lose 2-1.

They’ll be hoping to repeat the same again this weekend, as some tough fixtures come up early in the season. The 1s host Pembroke at home at 11am, while the 4s play at the same time on the back pitch against Rathgar. Horribly early game of the week this Saturday goes to the lucky 3s as they visit Railway at 9.30 before the ladies 2s finish off the day at home at 4pm against Avoca.

On the mens side, mixed fortunes greeted the start of the leagues. The 5ths proved to have win of the week as they put 8 past Clontarf. The mens 1s followed next by beating Corinthians 5-2 with Jody (x2), Blakers, Mitch and Daragh Walsh all getting on the scoresheet. A 0-0 stalemate befell the mens 3s against Rathgar, while the 4s and 2s lost 3-1 to Rathgar and Pembroke respectively.

This week the mens 1sts have a bye in the Irish Senior Cup so can enjoy a rare weekend off. The 2s play at home to Kilkenny at 1pm, while the 3s face Mullingar on the back at 1.30, followed by the 4s home game to Kilkenny at 3.30
