Cuala Weekly News 17th September 2021

WELCOME BACK DRUMMO

Fantastic to see Sean Drummond back with his teammates in Hyde Park last Sunday morning. Sean was there to support his team’s first-round championship win over St Maurs.

It was a busy day of football with four games played throughout the day, and four Championship wins secured.

All 4 teams won their respective games at home while the 3rd team travelled to St Maurs for their game which ended honours even.

HISTORY AT HYDE

The result didn’t go the right way but it was a historic evening at Hyde Park on Wednesday when our Adult 1st Women’s team played their first-ever Senior Championship match.  A great second-half performance bodes well for the future and there was a great crowd to witness the game against Ballyboden.  Next up is Fingallians.

CAMÓGS ON A ROLL

Our Adult Camogie First Squad has a couple of crucial home games in the Senior 2 Championship – the first is on this Sunday v N Mearnog in Meadow Vale at 1030. Support from across the club is very welcome.

In the meantime, our Second and Third Adult Camogie squads have emerged unbeaten from their championship groups and will play home semi-finals the following weekend – details to follow once finalised.

Our fourth camogie squad have had some cracking games in their championship and having finished third in their group will now take part in a Shield semi-final – again details to follow.
