Team News
Well done to both Ladies 1 and Mixed 3 over the weekend on fantastic games. Unfortunately Mixed 3 while fought hard came down to the last mixed but unfortunately was not to be. You'll get them in the league!!! (or tonight in Portmarnock - good luck)
But there was some good news -
Congratulations to Ladies 1 - Aine, Debbie, Anita and Samantha who won their semifinal Ladies Div 3 against Old School - great result (even if I am biased).
We would love if as many of you can come cheer us on in Whitehall Road this Friday at 7pm against KADCA in the final.
