Club Defib - In the interest of safety, the AED defibrillator has been moved to outside the blue containers. It is now in a temperature-controlled cabinet that is monitored 24/7 and therefore always available.

Under-16 girls – Under-16 girls B against AGB at home on Thursday, June 28, at 7.30pm.
Under-14 girls - Our under-14 girls squad trained on Tuesday and had a friendly on Thursday evening at home against a strong team from Kill. We were short players due to holidays and injuries but still had 21 players available.
Kill started the game strongly and took some quick scores but our girls settled and got back in to the game and were only down two points at half-time.
The team started much stronger in the second half and a strong defence with some great passing movements up-field led to some great scores from Sadhbh, Juliette and Kayleigh, and our girls ended up winning on a scoreline of Blessington 4-11, Kill 4-05.
Team: Aoife O’Rourke, Grace Quigley, Kay-
