The Gaelic 4 Girls crew upped sticks and headed for the hills of Wicklow recently to play in a Leinster Blitz against other teams in the program. St Patricks brought an U10 and U12 team to take part on the day. Summer finally arrived with the Sun making a most welcome appearance and the girls had a most enjoyable morning and early afternoon where they got to show off their skills in front of a large audience of parents and coaches. While it was a non-competitive blitz with no scores kept both teams performed excellently on the day and all the girls did St Patricks proud. They all have a very bright future in the game. We are coming near the end of the 8 weeks of the program and the progress from day one has been astonishing and we will now look to integrate the girls into the existing U10 and U12 teams.

"Legends" Two Men One Club
If you look the word "Stalwart" up in the dictionary you will find "a loyal, reliable, and hard-working supporter of or participant in an organization or team in a particular field" In the Gaa field of St.Patricks lies the names .Johnny Purfield & Pat Ryan  living legends of St.Pats Gaa & beyond. Not many Gaa clubs in Meath can say that they have or had a Purfield or Ryan attached in some capacity but in Stamullen the men are very well known throughout who give unstintingly to the service of the Club & Gaa. Johnny has been involved with the club from the late 50's and still to present day in the position of grounds chairperson. As for the county board Johnny first represented St.Pats at county board level from 59 to 70 and returned in 1988 inbetween taken up refereeing in which he refereed two county semi finals. On this his return Pat joined Johnny at county board level carrying out a strong tradition of club representation. Johnny not afraid to voice his opion and to speak his mind at meetings on various county issues. His envolvment also within the Meath Junior and U21 selection. For Pat to this day holds the postion of Club secretary, been meticulious in his work and role and probably one of the better secretarys within Meath Gaa. Towards the end of 2014 both Johnny & Pat decided to retire as  county board delegates after 25yrs. Meath County Board Chairman singled out both as great clubman & servants to St.Patricks Gaa and great club delegates to have at the county board meetings. St.Patricks are greatful to Johnny & Pat for the amount of time and travelling they have done in representing their club at county board meetings. Pat & Johnny continue to work daily for the club and their dedication is an inspiration to all who follow behind. Their dedication to club and Gaa life is what the Gaa ethos is all about.
