Replying To Rosineri1: "btw talking of Kiernans clubhouse, any word on what's happens with the London centre of excellence at Greenford?" Last I had heard was it was going through planning with Ealing council. I had seen the plans for that - looked very impressive. I wasnt sure if TCG would get the exclusive use of this or not? or how would the use of it be distributed? Jaybloggs (UK) - Posts: 37 - 22/10/2021 12:08:20 2386791 Link
Replying To WideBall1: "Anybody know how London are intending to vote on the proposals for the football championship?" I havent heard - but I really dont know how London would vote here. Financially my guess would be they would be better off in the current format - however from competitiveness & bettering the standard Proposal B would be a no brainer.

Replying To Rosineri1: "not the force they were, had been struggling to retain senior status for a few years, dropped down to intermediate. Seemed to be rebuilding well and won intermediate last year. Senior this year, drew won and lost five, were competitive in all their games, down intermediate with Kilburn next year." They train in Mitcham RFC...where Round Towers also train I believe. How many clubs in London have their own pitches now? Moyle (Tipperary) - Posts: 86 - 22/10/2021 12:42:34 2386804 Link
Replying To WestAwake88: "Looking forward to Clarets v Sean macs on Sunday. Two sides who should serve up a cracking match." Is that the all britain final? TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 260 - 22/10/2021 14:17:16 2386826 Link
Replying To TheBishop: "Is that the all britain final?" Semi final, other semi final is on in Birmingham on the same day MyOpinion1991 (UK) - Posts: 25 - 22/10/2021 15:55:53 2386843 Link
Replying To TheBishop: "Is that the all britain final?" semi final, Judes (Glocuster) v Brendans (Lancashire) in other semi. Rosineri1 (UK) - Posts: 2099 - 22/10/2021 16:30:13 2386859 Link
Replying To Moyle: "They train in Mitcham RFC...where Round Towers also train I believe. How many clubs in London have their own pitches now?" McCurtains, TCG and Kiernans are the only ones in London with their own pitch I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe Clarets too? London125 (UK) - Posts: 55 - 24/10/2021 10:06:32 2387096 Link
Replying To Rosineri1: "semi final, Judes (Glocuster) v Brendans (Lancashire) in other semi." Clarets well beaten by Sean Mac's, Brendans edged out St Judes, two early goals look to have been the difference. Rosineri1 (UK) - Posts: 2099 - 25/10/2021 09:00:17 2387231 Link
Replying To London125: "McCurtains, TCG and Kiernans are the only ones in London with their own pitch I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe Clarets too?" Joes, Clarets, Neasden, Tara, St Anthonys, Eire Og all have their own pitches. Dulwich used to play on Peckham Rye i believe? Not sure if they still do MyOpinion1991 (UK) - Posts: 25 - 25/10/2021 09:29:29 2387233 Link

Maybe Clarets too?" the below are pitches I know were used this year. McCurtains: Goodmayes TCG: Greenford Kiernans: Barnet Lane Round Towers/Sean Treacys - Mitcham two pitches (share with Mitcham rugby club) St Joes - Perivale Eire Og - Downhills Park Tara's - Clayton Road Are the below still used, haven't heard about many games at them this year. Clarets - Hayes North London Shamrocks - Tottenhall St Anthonys - Reading Dulwich Harps - Peckham Rye Rosineri1 (UK) - Posts: 2099 - 25/10/2021 09:52:57 2387236 Link
Clarets played a few games this year in Hayes. Wandsworth have a pitch out at Hazelwood that they have played a few matches at. Can't remember the last time Dulwich played in Peckham. Must be at least 4 years ago now. Likewise with Anthony's playing games in Reading. Think St Joes now have their own pitch at Perivale Park and if it's not been mentioned Eire Og have got one in Downhills Park too. WestAwake88 (Galway) - Posts: 115 - 25/10/2021 11:08:34 2387250 Link
Oh yeah, forgot about NLS's pitch. Wonder why more games aren't there? London125 (UK) - Posts: 55 - 25/10/2021 11:40:12 2387261 Link
Even Naomh Padraig (The irish guards) had their own pitch!! Having played at quite a few of the 'outside pitches' ie not greenford or Rusilip, a lot of them are quite decent. The back pitch in Greenford during the summer is sound but when it gets to around even september time its not great to play on at all MyOpinion1991 (UK) - Posts: 25 - 25/10/2021 12:20:44 2387274 Link
with two pitches in Mitcham there should be at least two weekends scheduled for fixtures in south London that could accomodate, Towers, Cuchullainns (H+F), Dulwich, Treacys, Dulwich ladies, Towers ladies, Green Isle Camoige, Croydon camoige, also I believe most of Fulham are Clapham based so you could have their footballers and hurlers there.

To play on my favourite outside of Ruislip is probably Cayton Road. Always been in good condition when I've been down there. Never really enjoyed playing in Mitcham and Scrubs. Hayes is a decent pitch but I'm sure it's on the smaller side. Feels quite narrow. WestAwake88 (Galway) - Posts: 115 - 25/10/2021 15:15:29 2387303 Link

Not sure which side is worse, at least at the far end you have the big opening in line with the posts so as long as theres plenty of points being scored you should be okay! haha Never played on the hayes pitch so wouldnt know, played at cayton road a couple time and yes thats a very well kept ground. In other news I see were looking for a new Operations and Finance officer, any word on potential candidates? Things certainly seem to have improved on a youth development side of things the last few years, what else does the job include? MyOpinion1991 (UK) - Posts: 25 - 25/10/2021 15:34:35 2387311 Link

I believe the pitch in Reading is temporarily unavailable but should be available again soon. WideBall1 (UK) - Posts: 104 - 25/10/2021 16:34:48 2387315 Link
