Well done to our Camogie team who sent 25 players in 3 teams up to the Erin Go Bragh 7s Tournament at the weekend. The teams were named after Tómas Mac Curtain's daughters, Siobhán, Síle and Eilis. Team Eilis won the Plate Final and Sinead Curtain won the Plate Player of the Tournament. Its a great achievement to field so many players this early in the year.

The Footballers travelled up to St Albans to play a challenge against St Colmcilles. It was an entertaining contest played in windy conditions. Well done to the 7 players making their debuts for the club. A huge thanks to St Colmcilles for the great hospitality afterwards.

Hard luck to Kieran Dowling, Jimmy Byrne and the London Hurlers who lost out to Mayo at the weekend.

Our own Hurlers start training on the astroturf in The Rivergate Centre, Minter Road, Barking IG11 0FJ. Training continues as usual for all other teams.

History & Centenary
