Victorious Junior C Win J.F.C
Having seen honours even in Pairc Tailteann in the previous game with Blackhall Gaels this match went to a replay which was played at Kilbride Gaa Grounds. Both teams started off well taken point from point. A blood injury to Niall Russell led to the first replacement for St.Pats who eventually shaded the 1st half by 3 scores on a scoreline of 0:7 to 0:4.  With Blackhall wasting no time in taken to the pitch early & with Ref Pat Clarke blowning on his whistle to call on the Pats who had decided to take their interval in the dressing room.  Gaels started brighter in the 2nd half infact taken the 1st three scores with the Pats backline still in interval mode. However that soon changed and the Pats were back on top taken their scores with the impressive Barry Campbell taken his scores with ease. Midfield battles were won by the experienced Cormac Sullivan ablely assisted by Brian  Calvey & Alan Vickers. As the Pats were easing ahead with led to the introduction of a few subs with Liam Nulty bagging the goal with stretched the Pats lead ever further. As the clock was winding down St.Pats added a few pts to the scoreline but there was never going to be a comebck for Gaels. Final Score St.Pats 1:13 - Blackhall Gaels 0:7.  So the 39yr wait was over & team Captain Alan Vickers lifted the Cup at the presentation to a joyous travelling Pats army and thanked Blackhall Gaels team for a great game. Celebrations followed with the team on pitch and later in Whytes of Stamullen. Well done to all JCFC Winners 2014

Girls U13's
U13 Green will played St Colmcilles in their first league match in Stamullen and had a convincing win while our White Team travelled to play Kilbride. Other matches for the girls in the month were against Ratoath & Boardsmill. In the Ratoath match it was a fantastic result tonight for St Pats who won very easely the girls really dazzled under the bright lights and the watchful eye of the U12 Meath manger. Once again the teamwork and unselfish play was key to girls girls success, so back to back wins now for the girls who just seem to be going from strength to strength.

Girls U14's Shield Final Replay
The much awaited U14 final reply v Trim took place on Sunday 14th September in Pairc Beagteach. Bective for their long awaited shield reply, to be honest it was a long wait for this reply but with a feeling it had come to too soon for the girls after our summer break with match fitness looking to be  an issue. This turned out to be a very good game of football played in a very sporting manner by both teams, After about 15 minutes our match fitness concerns were unfounded as you could see the Pat's girls were up for this test and you could just sense they were not going to let this one slip away. Eventually we did come out on the right side of the score line of 4:12 to 2:08, in her captain's speech Jade Geraghty thanked the Referee all the parents and mentors and Trim for an excellent game of football. I could mention any one of the 14 girls on the day but I have to give a special mention to Pats Goal keeper Katie Brangan for her heroics between the posts.
Minor Ladies
Our Minor ladies traveled to Dunboyne & had a great win, winning 12-14 to 6-05. Great team performance from all the girls well done.
