Last weekend was a lesson in what being a supporter is all about. It had highs and lows. Look: getting an away trip in January is luxury not many can boast, and we had two. I'll give both teams their credit later in this newsletter.

Sunday was a rare ocurrance - two of our teams in All-Ireland Semi Final clashes at exactly the same time. Our Senior A Camogie team were in Nenagh, whilst our Junior Hurlers were a short trip away in Kileedy, GAA Limerick. Being what is was, it meant supporters couldn't be in two places at once. I opted to head to Nenagh to watch the Camogie, but was kept up to date on the action in Limerick thanks to the wonders of Whatsapp (thanks Hugh!).
Our day had a great start. Our sponsors Bank of Ireland arranged a pre-game welcome in their branch in Nenagh. We extend our thanks of Tom Moran, branch manager in Fairview, and to the team in Nenagh who came in on their day off to welcome us. Good food, goodie bags for the kids, and a warm cup of tea too.

Unfortunately, the game didn't go our way, and Sarsfields of Limerick were victorious on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-08. If want to read a game report, Dublin Camogie have one here. Our own Grainne McKinney was at the game and has posted some great photos to facebook. Special shout out to the juvenile camogie girls who chanted their hearts out for the entire game.
Defeats are hard. But look, it was only mere weeks ago that we were celebrating winning Leinster for the first time in over 20 years and we shouldn't lose sight of this achievement. Our senior Camogie team are young and hungry, and I've no doubt they'll take us back on the road this time next year. Thanks for the journey girls. Good luck for the new season!
And so to Limerick.A recap: Our Junior Hurlers won Junior B in Dublin, and so entered the Junior B All-Ireland competiiton hosted each year by Killeedy GAA of Limerick. The semi-final was against Drom and Inch of Tipperary who many fancied for the whole competiion. That, however wasn't in our script and we got off to a blistering start, scoring 1-7 to 0-02 in the opening quarter. To their credit Drom/Inch got back into the game, but their resurgance was a little late, and we ended up victorious on a score of 1-16 to 1-19. There's a great report here, but if you're too lazy to read it suffice to say it refers to "Séan Lambe outstanding", "ace freetaker Shane Kiernan" not to mention "St Vincent’s exploded into devastating life. Gary O’Meara drilled over two points". You get the picture. For some great photos check out the ones taken by user "wildatlanticimagesaok" on Facebook.
The Junior Hurlers are now in an All-Ireland final, and we'll run a supporters bus down. This is on Saturday 8th February. Do come along. It's a great welcome, and the hurling is mighty too.

Hot on the success of the Hurling, ArdScoil Rís faced their same opponents, Maynooth in the Dublin Colleges Senior A Football final today. A win by 4 points mean that they've done the Dublin Hurling and Football Double. Fair play lads - keep some energy for the Vins pitches.

Updates on Anti-Social Behaviour
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Last week we mentioned about some anti-social behaviour around the club. Since then we've received word from the county board that a number of thefts have ocurred from GAA Clubs in recent weeks. There's reports of Mearnog, Barrog and Colmcille's having cars broken into during training sessions. As always, we diligent and aware, and report any incidents to local Gardaí. Our local station is Clontarf who can be reached at 01-666 4800.
Gardaí have increased their patrols and are swinging by the club, so hopefully this will deter future offenders.

So you'd like to do a bit of hurling would ya?

The success of our Junior Hurlers, along with a growing panel of players means we're considering running two Junior Hurling teams for 2020. What do you think? Could you be persuaded? Maybe you stopped playing some time back, but fancy playing again. If you're interested, or you know someone who may be, let us know and we'll put you in touch with the relevant management.

Fair play to Matthew Lambe. He brought his singing voice and a Dublin ditty to entertain the locals in Killeedy.
