Team News

In the Tesco All Ireland Minor A Camogie Championship, Sarsfields were well represented on the Dublin panel with 4 starting and 3 on the bench.  The Dubs lost out to a strong Cork side. Well done Cliodhna Ni Bhuachalla, Hannah Gibbs, Clara Finn, Sinead Daly, Aishling Behan, Aoibheann Scott & Cara Ware.

It was also fantastic to see Sars being so well represented on the college scene. Aoife Byrne with Queens University Belfast in the Fr Meaghair Cup semi-final, Chloe O’Connor with TU Dublin in the Ui Mhaolagain Cup semi-final, Shauna Conway with IT Sligo in the Ui Mhaolagain Cup semi-final and Grace Kenny (vice captain) with Anna Cuffe for Marino in the Ui Mhaolagain Cup semi-final.

Sunday morning saw the beginning of the Senior footballer's league campaign. Heading to Marley Park with a lot of new faces on board, Lucan took a nine point lead into half time, much of it coming from the boot of Brendan Gallagher. The second half saw a resurgent effort from Ballinteer who narrowed the gap as the half drew on, with Lucan eventually prevailing on a score line of 1-17 to 2-11. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of the morning was the senior league debuts of Henry Keogh, Oisin Ryan, Jack Lawlor and Shane O'Donoghue, all of whom contributing well in a largely positive team performance. Next week sees the coming of St. Vincents to Abbotstown, where Lucan will be looking to make it two from two.

Sunday afternoon saw Abbey Shiels line out as Dublin goalie for the LGFA game in Waterford. Dublin beat Waterford 4-7 to 1-4.

Almost 23 years ago today Valentines day the Dubs played Leitrim with our very own Mick Casey on the panel, but there is no excuse tonight Mick hope you booked somewhere nice for dinner!
