LUCAN SARSFIELDS

All Ireland Camogie Semi Final
Best of luck to Amy Gorman, Laura Sharkey, Aoife Mckearney, Emma Flanagan and Mia Farrell in their All Ireland semi-final against Cork on the 27th of July. This match is in UPMC Nowlan Park and throwing in at 13:15. We are encouraging all our members to make the short trip to Kilkenny and support the girls in blue. This is a massive achievement for the team who before this year had only reached the semi-final twice since 1990. A particulary proud day for our club to have 5 players flying the Lucan flag on the team.
Tickets for the match can be purchased via universe.com
We are running a bus from the club for this match. Contact 0857468846 to book your spot, there are only several spaces left.

Lotto
We had no winner of last week’s lotto jackpot of €5,000. The Numbers were 6, 17, 27, 28
The lucky dip prizes go to Eddie Keogh, Mick Roche, Alan Murphy, John O’Connor and Bridie Burke.
This week’s Lotto will be for a jackpot of €5,400. The draw is sponsored by O’Gradys Hearing Care Services and will be led by Edel Mooney.

Planning Permission
Planning permission for a new ball wall and the extension of our juvenile pitch into a full-size all-weather pitch has been submitted to South Dublin County Council.
Planning permission has been posted at the entrance, exit and turn into the clubhouse.
Lots of hard work and fundraising over the years has gotten us to this stage in our development plans. A special word of appreciation to Colm Farrell who has worked tirelessly to get these plans submitted.

Hurling
We had five adult teams in championship action this weekend and we broke even overall with two wins, a draw and two losses. Our seniors travelled to O'Toole Park to face Cuala in the senior championship and it finished honours even. Our Intermediates lost out narrowly to Scoil Ui Chonaill. The Junior As and Junior Bs had good wins over Skerries and Craobh Chiarain respectively, while the Junior Cs lost out to St. Kevins Killian's. All our teams

remain in contention to progress after two rounds of the championship. There is a break now until the next championship weekend on August 16th/17th/18th.

The Junior B hurlers made a presentation to Mick Heavey of Fitzpatrick & Heavey Homes of a framed jersey to mark Mick's generous sponsorship of a new set of team jerseys. (pictured below) The team and management are very grateful to Mick and his fellow director Ciaran Fitzpatrick for their generous sponsorship.

Camogie
Our U12 camogie team travelled to Páirc Tailteann over the weekend and took part in the Camán to Leinster Blitz. This was a blitz to commemorate the first official camogie match which was played 120 years ago. The girls proudly represented the club in their three matches, well done to all involved.
