On Saturday May 16, Lucan Sarsfields hurlers from u14 to senior took part in the ‘Hurl For Hope’ in aid of Pieta House Each player had a target of 2000 strikes, and were able to complete the task while also maintaining social distancing. This was part of a wider initiative when all of the Dublin Hurling squads had a target of hitting half a million sliothars in an hour. With a  target of raising €25K almost achieved, its not too late to donate – click here https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/hurlforhope

25 Years ago, as Lucan Sarsfields were preparing to meet St Vincents in the Intermediate Football Final replay, team captain, Fergus McNulty, featured in a ‘Player Profile’ for the Evening Herald. We caught up with Fergus during the week and asked him to fill it in again, here’s what he said:

Name: Fergus McNulty. Living in: Dunboyne, Co Meath Family: Married, thank God! Three children (16, 14, 12) – All big Meath fans! Job: Company Director GAA Sporting hero: Matt Connor, Offaly legend. Magical Match: I was involved in arranging a Dublin v Meath charity game for a friend of mine, Sean Cox, last year. That was a very special day. Darren Gavin from Lucan played midfield that day and had a great game. Fav TV comedy : Veep. Fav Food: Anything that puts the weight on, is usually pretty good. Fav book: There are some great GAA books like ‘Dublin v Kerry’. Jimmy McGuinness’ autobiography is a very good read. Fav Footballer: Con O’Callaghan (Cuala) Best footballer I ever played with: I was lucky to play with some great footballers and clubmen with Lucan like Richie Crean, Mick Casey (snr and junior), Stephen Shaughnessy, Damien O’Brien, Conor Bresnan… but I would have to say Jack Sheedy was the standout player. Favourite Companion if you were stranded on a desert island: It would still have to be Laura, who despite my answer 25 years ago, decided to marry me. Best Match: My favourite Lucan Sarsfield’s moment was winning the Junior A Football Championship in 2005 v St Brigids. Most memorable GAA occasion: My local Club, Dunboyne, won the Ladies All-Ireland Intermediate Final in 2017. I was Club Chairman at the time and that was a pretty memorable day. Biggest influence on my football career: I would have to say my father, Hugh. Unfortunately he passed away last year, and it was only looking back that I appreciated how many Lucan Sarsfield memories I had with him. GAA Transfer Choice: Michael Murphy (Donegal) is a pretty special footballer. Person you most admire: Without a doubt, front line health care workers. Relaxation: Putting the feet up with a pizza still sounds good to me. What would you do if you won the lotto: Keep it quiet! Ambition: Obviously, health, happiness etc, but I would love to see Lucan win a Senior Championship. Pet Hate: People who always point out the problem without putting any thought into the solution. What would you tell the younger version of yourself: Avoid filling in player profiles. They may come back to haunt you!
