Last weekend was a weekend for our youth teams as the All Britain Championships took place from Thursday to Sunday.

This club could have a strong future based on the performances our younger St Claret's members showed at the ABCs which is great to see.

A massive thank you to the players who participated over the weekend and the parents who supported us too. We were represented at every age group from the U8s, U10s, U11s, U13s, U15s, U17 boys and U18 ladies.

Get well soon to Enda who represented our U11s last week but unfortunately broke his finger during a game and had to go to hospital. Having only had the bare 11 players we were reduced to 10 so Lucio helped out to make up the numbers despite being injured himself from training the week before. Well done.

We didn't come away with any silverware this year but each team performed and progressed well in each of their respective competitions. 

A big thank you to the coaches who have helped out over the year and the effort they put into last weekend.

U8s/U10s: Tadhg Lee, Liam "Dudley" Healy, Barry Wallace and Paddy Donaghy

U11s: Barry Wallace, Gerry and Colleen Lynott and Dudley

U13s: Mick Shepherd and Gerry and Colleen Lynott

U15s/U17s: Martin Hession and Denis McCarthy

U18 Ladies: Martin Hession

A special mention too for Marie Hession for the effort and organisation she did for all of the youth teams.

Keep an eye out for photos from the weekend on our facebook page, St Clarets GAA.

The youth action carries on this week. The U18 ladies take on TCG in the league final on Friday evening at TCG, Berkeley Avenue, Greenford, UB6 0NZ.

Throw in is at 7.45pm. Best of luck ladies!

Our mens' league fixture against Tara was put back a week as some of the Tara players were playing a hurling championship tie.

Instead we played a challenge match against Glen Rovers from Watford who we'd like to thank for their hospitality. After a beneficial encounter we eventually defeated them on the night.

The St Claret's players involved were: Aidan Donaghy, Charlie O'Donnell, Matthew Healy, Cathal Hughes, Ronan Gaughan, Conor Healy, Caolan McAndrew, Shane Buckley, Alfie McNulty, Lawrence Weir, Liam Healy, Peter Donaghy.

Our next game is this Sunday 22nd July against Garryowen. 2.00pm throw in at TCG, Berkeley Avenue, Greenford, UB6 0NZ.

We then face Tara next Thursday at Northolt Rugby Club, Cayton Road, Greenford, UB6 8BJ. Throw in at 7.15pm.

These are two must win ties to maintain our division 2 status so please get out and show your support for the team ahead of the championship.

After the conclusion of the World Cup we now know who our sweepstake are. 

Well done to Patrick Herlihy, Alan Davis, Pat Sheridan, Aidan Donaghy and Sam Sibley who drew France and win £80.

The runner up prize of £30 goes to Tony Regan, Ryan Fortune, Shane Buckley, Padraig Donegan and Barry McDonagh thanks to Croatia's exploits.

After Belgium beat England Gloria Ramshaw, Neil Owens, Sarah Fitzgerald, Lawrence Weir and Claire Sibley get their money back.
