It’s February 2016, yet on Sunday Lucan Sarsfields Under 21 Hurlers capped off their 2015 campaign as Dublin Championship Winners. The delayed final saw Lucan overcome Naomh Fionnbarra 1:14 to 1:08 at a cold, hailstone battered Alfie Byrne Road. Tom Ryan who watched the game must have been impressed with the players knocking on the senior door. Full match details are available on the website. Congratulations to Dan O’Neill, Aidan Sheehan, Philip Smith, Colm Kelly, Robbie Ennis, John Bellew, Diarmaid Reynolds, Rory Stapleton, Ciaran Dowling, Eoghan O’Conghaile, Paul Crummy, Tadhg Behan, Caomhan O’Conghaile, Donal Flannery, William Swaine, Cian Nolan, Kevin Redmond, Alan Flanagan, Cathal O’Maolmhana, David Parsons, John O’Farrell, Leon Breen, Niall Stagg, and Captain Sean McCleland. Management team of Anthony Nolan and Paul Stapleton - and also to whoever else I have left out!

Congratulations to St. Josephs School Senior Camogie team who won their All Ireland Semi Final on Saturday last with a thrilling four point win over Banagher. We will have details of their final as soon as we get them.

Congratulations also to Michael Robinson who lined out for Dublin Minor Footballers in their drawn game against Cork on Saturday. The growing list of club players in 2016 with representative honours probably deserves some more profile.

Senior footballers start to the season fell foul of a few snow flakes as their fixture against Thomas Davis was called off at the last minute. Junior A’s and Intermediates did start their competitive 2016 season, but neither with success.

Amongst the juveniles, CCC2 was a football weekend with wins for 13A, 14A, 14B, and 15A (three in a row for them). Camogie and Ladies Football are still confined to challenge games for another few weeks.

Operation Transformation continues for another few weeks, its runs from the club every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7:30pm, in association with SDCC Sports Partnership. Never too late to join in, simply turn up before the first walk Tuesday/Thursday at 7.30pm.

Heads up….Saturday 12th of March, Rory’s Stories - Live Show. Tickets available at the bar.

The old clothes collection that was due to finish at the club Saturday last, but it can run another week as there is a delay in the bulk collection, so there is still time to clean out the wardrobe.
