Lucan Sarsfields GAA Club Notes
January 13, 2020
Congratulations to Paul and Chris Crummy, both with the Dublin Senior Hurlers, who defeated Laois in Parnell Park on Thursday evening. Our U15s were in attendance and met with the brothers after the match. Unfortunately, the Dubs lost to Galway by a point in the semi-final on Sunday, Chris getting on the scoreboard again. Meanwhile in Belfield, Paul captained the UCD hurlers to a win over IT Carlow in the Fitzgibbon Cup.
On Saturday 11 January, Lucan Sarsfields footballers, CJ Smith, Emmet O’Conghaile and Sean Cleary, all played for Dublin in the one point defeat away to Longford at Pearse Park in the O’Byrne Cup Semi Final. For trivia fans out there - CJ Smith secured the first score for Dublin under new manager, Dessie Farrell.
The 2019 U16 Camogie and Ladies Football teams, held their ‘end-of-juvenile’ celebration in the club on Saturday evening. A great time was had by all, many thanks to the organisers, Karen, Angela and Diarmuid, the Bar Staff and especially to the wonderful DJ who kept the girls singing and dancing!!
