Nov.17 –Heroes all on a wonderful morning in O’Toole Park as our Minor ‘A’ Footballers become 2019 Dublin Minor Football Champions beating Thomas Davis 2-16 0-16 in a pulsating Final. Luke Swan (1-2), Conor Chawke (0-4), Conor Murray (0-4) and Senan Forker (1-0) were the team’s top scorers. This historic success marks only the second time Castleknock has won this title and so enormous credit is due to all concerned, the entire playing panel, the Managers Declan Hannigan and Gerry Kindlon and the extensive team who provided the huge support it takes to win a County Championship at this level.

Not such a lucky morning however for the U-16 Girls Footballers who lost the Div.1 Shield Semi-Final to St. Vincent’s or the U-15 Camogie team who went down to Erin’s Isle in the Div.2 Championship Final in St. Anne’s Park.
