Contact Tracey Walsh 087 973 5655 or Colette Condon 086 379 9270 for more information.

St Stephen's Day - 'Puck it for Marsy'
Save the date! - On St Stephen s Day (Thursday 26th December) there will be a Long Puck competition in the Club in memory of our former great, Derek Maher ( Marsy ), who passed away earlier this year. The competition will include categories for adult players, U18 players, and retired/non player in both men s and women s. The pucking will start at 1pm with refreshments in the bar afterwards. We are asking all adult and minor Hurling and Camogie teams to support this very special event and aim to have two or three entries from every team. Entry is 10 euro for adults, 5 euro for under 18s. Entry details will be advised in coming weeks.

We had a winner of last week's lotto jackpot of 13,000 euro. Congratulations to Eimear O'Leary. The Numbers were 5, 8, 23, 18.

U21 Dublin A Hurling Champions
The final competitive action of the adult hurling season saw our Under 21 hurlers win the Dublin A Championship for the fourth time in the Club's history (following previous wins in 2008, 2014 and 2019). The title was secured in a hard-fought victory over Faughs played in difficult conditions - see match report below. Great credit is due to the full panel of players and to the management team of Niall Gleeson, Johnny McCaffrey, Aidan Roche and Peter Kelly. This management team have done great work with the Under 21s over the past three years, winning the B Championship in 2022, losing the A final on penalties last year, and then securing the ultimate prize this year. More importantly, they have contributed hugely to the development of the next generation of adult hurlers for the club which will hopefully provide a platform for ultimate senior success.

As the season draws to a close, we would like to thank all the hurlers who togged out for the Club this year, all the mentors who worked with our teams and all our volunteers and supporters. Looking forward to lots more in 2025!

U21 Camogie
After a hard-fought final, unfortunately it wasn't to be for our U21A camogie team as they lost their championship final to Ballyboden. Hard luck to the team and management.
