UPDATE FROM STEPHEN
The various leagues dominate the news this week.
The Senior League has reached the playoff stages with good results.
Very Best of luck to all teams ...so far so good!
All 3 Mens' Floodlight teams made a winning start....keep it going lads!
The Ladies 2nd team won.... still all to play for ladies!
The O/60’s Ladies 2nd team through to playoffs – best of luck!
The Junior League, both Boys & Girls, is progressing well.
With 2 matches to go - keep battling away!
The Ladies Autumn Charity is well underway - best of luck Ladies!
The very popular U/12 Stars & Stripes Boys & Girls semi final was played last Saturday...although the Girl's team won, the combined score meant they lost on a very tight margin to a very strong Bray team. The sportsmanship & camaraderie between both teams was brilliant.
Thanks to those involved for organising what was a brilliant few week for the kids involved.
All the best Stephen
Wishing the very best of luck to Richie Kennedy who is on the team representing Ireland in the U11 Limburg International Cup against Belgium, Finland and the Netherlands.
