3 days of non stop football, over 80 Clarets players, 80 ice creams,  40 games of football, 13 tired mentors, 7 age groups, 9 teams, several sing songs, 5 bottles of sun cream (at least), a few tears, 1 trip to a&e, 1 final, 1 semi final, 3 quarter finals, plenty cuts and bruises but over 80 happy kids, parents and mentors.

What is the craziest weekend of the youth GAA year ! St Clarets took it by storm, we were lucky enough to have a team in every one of the boys age groups and to be able to play “ball for ball” with some of the best teams in the country !! 

Now whether the ball bounced for you or against you this weekend we are super proud of every player who represented us in a green and white jersey and how far you have all come !! 

Well done especially to our u11s who were knocked out in the quarter final of the shield on Saturday , u13s who topped the groups but got knocked out in the semi final of the cup by the eventual cup winners on Sunday and to our girls team who were defeated in the final of the u18 ladies competition.

We would like to thank all the mentors; John, Becky, Lisa, Tadhg, Liam, Paddy, Barry, Gerry, Nick, Colleen, Martin, Marie and Denis. For all their hard work over this weekend and throughout the season. And to all the parents and family members who came out to support and made up “Camp Clarets.” 

Thanks a million to the abc committee for their brilliant tournament we had a fabulous time!! We are already looking forward to next year !!!

Anyways, back to the club notes ! 

A massive congratulations to the senior team who are currently top of the league as of last Tuesdays win against st Anthony’s. This means that we will be promoted to division two next season ! And we are absolutely delighted to also have a place in the league final which is currently fixed for Sunday 28th July. Seniors had a challenge game against glen rovers last night in Watford
