August 12-18 - Castleknock Club Notes

Aug.12 – In spite of Castleknock’s AHL9 Hurlers losing by 1-10 3-14 to Clontarf the team remains in 3rd place in Division 9. The last time the U-15 hurlers met St. Judes in Div.1 of the League they had 24 points to spare, this time it was just five, Castleknock 1-16 St. Judes 1-11.

Aug.13 – Leaving Certificate Results Day – well done to everyone concerned.

Aug.14 – An amazing 13-point comeback against Ballyboden ending in a 5-10 4-13 draw, helps Castleknock’s Ladies ‘B’ Footballers maintain their unbeaten 7 game record in the Adult League Div.5. A high scoring Castleknock win, 8-9 1-9, also against Ballyboden, in the Minor Hurling League Div.3.

Aug.17 – Great to welcome the Mayo and London Masters Football teams to Somerton for their Plate Play-off, hopefully the first of many inter-county contests in Castleknock – London 0-10 Mayo 0-8. Mayo miss last minute penalty. Defeat for our AFL4 footballers out in the Naul, Castleknock 1-10 Clann Mhuire 2-14. Congrats to St. Jude’s on winning Div.4.

Congrats to Emmet Hogan and Mick Lynch on winning a pair of tickets each in the Raffle for All-Ireland Hurling Final Tickets.

Aug.18 – The AFL9 footballers lose by 2-10 1-17 to Clann Mhuire. The team is now a point behind 4th placed Cuala with two games in hand in the chase for a Promotion Play-off Place. Commiserations to Rob O’Shea and the Dublin U-16 footballers on losing the Gerry Reilly Memorial Cup Final to Meath, 2-10 2-11, the slimmest possible margin, in Oldcastle, Co. Meath (a competition Stephen Cluxton among other Dublin stars once played in). Proud of you Rob.
