Recently our good friend of Shankill GAA, Molly Lamb, arrived together with the Brendan Martin all-Ireland Cup under her arm. Training sessions were forgotten about as it was all about Molly. Hugs, kisses, photos, claps on the back was the order of the day, even a few tears were evident as we finally realised that the ladies had done it after so many disappointments. Molly and the Dublin team are brilliant role models for our boys and girls to follow. Thank you so much for bringing the cup to Shankill, another unforgettable experience.
Plenty of action last Saturday week as our under-nine hurlers were in Bray and we had the Wanderers girls in the castle. The under-13 girls’ football team lost by four points to Na Fianna in the cup semi-final we are all so proud of them, what a splendid performance. Last Sunday week the under-10 girls’ footballers played St Mary’s in the castle.
Well done to all our new coaches who completed the Foundation coaching course on Friday night.
