St. Pats Survive In Div One

In their final League match for 2014 seen St.Pats scheduled at home to play already relegated Oldcastle however St. Pats were given a walkover in their final match & awarded the Pts. So all the attention led to Simonstown v Gaeil Colmcille with a win for the Kells men would condemn St.Patricks to Div 2 football for 2015. So St.Pats were relying on Simonstown to take the pts in order for St.Pats to stay in Div 1 and send Gaeil Colmcille to Div 2 & that sure happened as Simonstown won by a scoreline of 0:15 to 0:10. It was only back in St.Patricks day of this year that we were defeated to Gaeil Colmcille by 3pts but our "St.Patricks Day" has really arrived a relief for all at the club to remain in top flight football for 2015.  Let hope that the lads can build on this, improve & have a much better league season for 2015 & not see themselves in this position again.

L.G.F.A - St Pat Girls Update
The annual St Pats girls summer league once again through up same great matches this summer. We had four teams made up of U16's U14's & U12's this year's theme was "The Apprentice" the idea behind this was to involve the U16 girls in the management side of things with two U16's taking charge of each team.
The girls named their own teams and once again you just didn't know what they were going to come up with, so we had The Dominos Managed by Ciara Rothwell & Ciara Mc Quillan, The Russian Grannies Managed by Emmer Mc Causland & Sarah Sheridan, The Wibbly Wobbly Wonders Managed by Ciara Darby and 13 Direction Managed by Emma Whyte and Emma Dowling.
It was the Dominos who showed all the form in the league round stages and indeed the went through the whole competition without suffering any defeats at all, so hats off to the two Ciara's who it has to be said always had their team very well prepared before matches and some very good positional management from the two girls had a big part in their success. Well done to all the girls who took part.
The Pats ladies are still growing in strength and this is of real benefit to our up and coming underage girls who see that we have a senior team that they can look up too.
Coming up for the girls is the U14 Summer League shield Final replay Time & Date TBC. Then we have the start of the Autumn leagues and this year it looks as though St.Pats representation will be made up of, Two U13 Teams one U15 Team a Minor Team and a Senior Team so some exciting times ahead.
Finally Date for you diary is Friday 10th October The Pats Ladies section are holding a Pre Loved Dress Evening, this is your chance ladies to pick up a top designer dress for as little as €10 and with every purchase you will also enter into a free draw on the night, all moneys raised will go into the ladies section and any dresses left over on  night will be donated to local charity shops.
