Well done to Rob Hollingsworth and all involved with our Senior ladies. Bray Emmets visited Dunbur on Saturday in the Senior County League. In a game when St Pats were coasting they conceded a goal from a free late in the second half to set up an exciting but nervous finish. St Patrick’s girls dug deep and worked the ball back up the field to score and finished deserving winners on a final scoreline of St. Patrick’s 0-13, Bray Emmets 1-08.

Well done to Brian McSorley and all involved with our Junior ladies who took on AGB in Dunbur on Sunday morning. The girls played some beautiful football to run out winners on a final score of St. Patrick’s 4-12, AGB 2-04

Lá na gCLub took place on Sunday and what a day it was. Lá nag Club is about celebrating all things GAA, it is an opportunity for the club to highlight the important role of members, players, supporters’ and families in the GAA and for the local community to get involved and have fun and we certainly did that on Sunday.

We kicked off at 12.30pm with a 5km fun walk/run around the Green Lane, followed by some fantastic Irish Dancing from Gohery School of Dancing to start us off, a big thank you to Fiona Kavanagh for organizing this.

Next up we had mini games, penalty shootouts and skills tests for all ages and then our Senior ladies and men’s teams took part and played games against all of our juvenile teams.

This, by far, was the kids favorite part getting to play with their idols! A big thank you to everyone who was involved, to Jordan Deans for providing us with the sound system and music all day, thank you to the lovely ladies who took care of refreshments in the kitchen and to those who baked, made sandwiches etc.

Patterson’s butchers provided us with a BBQ all day, there wasn’t a burger or sausage left at the end of the day so it’s safe to say it was thoroughly enjoyed so a massive thank you once again to Patterson’s.

We had fruit sponsored by Quinns and water sponsored by Fishers Centra and Moojus from Glanbia – thank you to all businesses.

Well done to the organising committee who pulled out all the stops to make sure it was a great day for everyone, everything ran
