Senior Gaelic Football Team
Reach Semi-final in Cup October 2017
Following our fantastic success in the Corn Mic Caoilte cup final in Croke Park last year, our senior Gaelic team have moved up to division 3 this year.
We got off to a very strong start with a convincing win against Baile Eoin BNS in Thomastown.
Next we faced the tough opposition of Realt na Mara. We put up a good fight but just couldn't outscore the eventual group winners on the day.
Unfortunately, we had a number of injuries to contend with as the season unfolded. Despite this, we went on to win our third match against Scoil Nathaí. This win put us the Cup quarter final.
On Thursday 12th Oct we then travelled to Whitehall to face Holy Child BNS in what would prove to be the most exciting match we have ever played!!!
Both teams were evenly matched and in a very fast paced game, we were only ahead by 1point at halftime.
Towards the end of the second half, we had fallen behind and had to dig deep to find a score.
As the final whistle went we thought we had just secured victory by a single point, however, the referee had the final score as a draw.
From here we had to regain our composure as we now faced into 15mins extra time.
The team fought harder then we have ever seen them fight before and left absolutely everything they had on the pitch. They worked together secure their place in the cup semi-final.
Our semi final match will be against St. Helen's of Portmarnock, on Thursday 19th Oct at 3pm in Fairview Park. We wish the team every success in their final match on their road to Croke Park.
