LUCAN SARSFIELDS

Hurling
Lucan adult hurling ended up with just four of the planned six matches being played at the weekend. First up, our seniors got a win away against St Brigid's. At the same time, the Inters put in a good performance at home to deal comfortably with Faughs’ challenge. Next on to Pitch 1 was our Junior A team who had too much for Ballinteer. In the afternoon our Junior B team, with AGP being declared unplayable by the referee, moved their Erin Go Bragh fixture to the 12th Lock. This was a very one-sided affair with Lucan taking the spoils again. Our Junior C North team got a late walkover against St Joseph’s O’Connell Boys who were unable to field. The Junior C South team didn’t have a fixture as hosts St Kevin Killian’s didn’t have a pitch. There is now a break in adult hurling competitive fixtures due to Paddy’s Day and Easter with the next round of the league scheduled for April 6th/7th.

Juvenile

Fáilte chuig Nuachtlitir Na Gaeil Óga, áit a bhfaighidh tú an t-eolas is déanaí faoi gach rud atá ag tarlú inár bpobal bríomhar.

Siúlóid Staire: Míle buíochas le Liam Mac Amhlaidh ó fhoirne peile fásta an chumainn as turas staire den chéad scoth a dhéanamh linn Dé Sathairn
Bhí an-eolas agus an-chraic ann agus tá go leor firicí agus amhrán nua ar eolas ag gach duine a bhí i láthair anois. Tá an t-ádh linn go bhfuil leithéid Liam againn chun imeacht chomh spéisiúil leis a chur ar siul. Grma le Seachtain na Gaeilge le Energia as cabhrú leis an imeacht seo a eagrú.

Foireann Iomána A: Tá an fhoireann iomána A tosaithe ag dreapadh an dréimire le cúpla bliain anuas agus d'éirigh leo leanacht ar aghaidh leis an dul chun cinn sin agus an chéad bhua i Roinn 5 i stair iomána an chlub bainte amach acu inné. Chríochnaigh an chluiche 1-16 go 0-15. Moladh mór d'Aonghus Ó hEochaidh a fuair 1-3 agus Eoghan Ó Masúin a fuair 0-3. Maith sibh a fheara!

Birdie

Athair agus Mac: Lá bródúil inniu do Phroinsias Mac Fhearghusa, an chéad uair a d'imir sé ar an bhfoireann iomána chéanna lena mhac Daire (in éadan Naomh Marcus). Ar ndóigh tá ceangail ag muintir Mhic Fhearghusa leis an gclub le tamall fada agus bhí Ciarán Mac Fhearghusa ó Óga Yóga i measc na gcéad daoine a raibh an smaoineamh acu club lán-Ghaeilge a bhunú i mBaile Átha Cliath.
