Club Notes, 17th March 2022 |

A two-for-one bank holiday this year has everyone buzzin'. Today's notes come one day later than normal, but in my defence, yesterday evening I was lorrying into pints attending the Céilí Mór in support of our senior hurling and camogie teams.
I thought the big weekend would mean less games, but quite the opposite. A full weekend on our fixtures calendar. Luckily, for the mini league coaches, St Patrick has granted them a day off too, so there'll be no mini-leagues this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Céilí Mór last night. A great fundraiser for the senior camogie and hurling teams, but more importantly its great to be able to get back together. The club was heaving, and a great night was had by all. We thank the organising committee, and also a big thanks to the volunteer bar staff who were kept going all night.

Memorial Service for Ken Fagan, RIP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
It's been two years since the passing of a great club man, Ken Fagan. This was just at the start of the Covid lockdown, which meant the family couldn't travel to the US for his funeral. This Saturday, a memorial service will take place in San Francisco. Ken's wife Dympna, their sons Oisín, Conal and Ruairí will be joined by members of the Fagan and Doherty families, along with friends and neighbours in a service to celebrate Ken's life. The service will be officiated by senior camogie mentor, Aoife Drumgoole. We wish the Fagan an Doherty families all the best - We're sure it will be a fitting tribute.

Big Weekend for Dublin Camogie
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
This Sunday, 20th March sees the Dublin Camogie team in action in Croke Park; Their game against Down will throw in a 1:45pm. This will be the first time Dublin Camogie played a league game in Croke park since 2011, so this is indeed a big occasion. To mark this, the Dublin Camogie board have postponed all afternoon games this Sunday to give fans a chance to go to the game. In addition they are running a competition:
"For all teams heading to Croke Park for the camogie game, Dublin County Board are running a competition to win a set of O Neills Juvenile Jerseys, all you have to do is photograph your team in Croke Park supporting our girls and send the photograph to pro.dublin@camogie.ie by Monday evening at 10pm. All entries will be put in to a draw at the March County Board meeting and a winner will be chosen."
Adult tickets are just €15, and Juvenile are €5. Remember that gets you into a double header with the Dublin footballers playing Donegal (throw in: 3:45).
This is a great opportunity for Camogie fans to show their support - and remember our own Muireann Kelliher and Ais Maher line out for that team.
Tickets are available here.

Mickey has managed and coached St Vincents and Dublin, and is currently the club President. It is only fitting that his book is officially launched in CLG Naomh Uinsionn.

Entry to this event is open to all and free, but places are limited so reserve your place at this link.
