St Clarets GFC London club notes

July 15, 2014
It's been another super successful year for St Clarets at the ABC Games in Greenford. Here's a snapshot of how our teams got on.

St Clarets were represented at the All Britain Championships by our girls team, who took part in the Ladies Football development day, also by our U12s, who played 6 games in total and narrowly lost the Plate Final for the second year in a row.
On Sunday our U14s took to the field and were also defeated in the Plate Final.
A big thank you to all our players for your effort and sportsmanship on and off the field, you are great credit to the club.
Also a massive thank you to all our parents who took the time out to attend and support us at this event, which has now become a very important part of the Youth Gaelic calendar.
The St Clarets teams were: Girls - Ciara Hession, Tara Sheridan, Leah Higgins, Leona Enright, Lily McNulty & Chloe Enright.
U12s - Cormac Sibley, Liam Hession, Aaron Myers, Jack Do Rosario, Joshua Dwyer, Tommy Naughton, Sean Alexander, Reece Connolly, Joey Holden, Joseph Hedger, Thomas Do Rosario.
U14s - Aaron Myers, Michael Myers, Charlie Nicholson, Oisin Murphy, Michael O'Shea, Jonathan Wickham, Joseph Deveureux, Niall Bradshaw, Alvin Maher, Kyle King, Liam Hession.

In the minor competition we were drawn in a group of six, losing our first game to Tir Chonaill Gaels, followed by four consecutive wins to finish second in the group and qualify for the semi-final.
In the semi-final, we played the winners of the other group and got through to the final to play Tir Chonaill Gaels again! The game was a draw at full-time and again after extra time and we proceeded to a three-penalty shoot out which we won 3-1 thanks to a fantastic save by Ryan O'Connell who also stepped up to follow Lorcan Comer and Jordan McGirr to score the decisive penalty.
Congratulations to our squad for the day:- Alfie McNulty (capt.), Shane Buckley, Ryan O'Connell, Lorcan Comer, Conor Devereux, Shane O'Hare, Joe Dyson, Aidan Bradshaw, Conor Bradshaw and Jordan McGirr.
Big thanks to all our supporters, including many of the U14 players and parents who stayed on to support us in the final.
Also, thank you to the ABC Committee for a fantastic, well-organised day.

We will have photos from the ABC event on our website in the next day or so.
