U10s - St Peregrine's V St Margarets 06-06-2023
Well done to all this evening against St Peregrine's!
Plenty of player awareness on show!
Thanks to David, Greg, Conor and all coaches for the continual improvement of this team!
Thanks to all parents for a huge turn out!
U10s V Tyrrelstown
Magnificent 10s
Well done everyone this morning against Tyrrelstown - good run out!
U10s St Margarets Recycling - Thank you!
Big Thanks to Brian, Caroline and all the staff from St Margarets Recycling for sponsoring our U10 training tops for the 2022 - 2023 season. Our kids love their training gear!
U10s V Trinity Gaels
Magnificent 10s
Well done everyone this morning against a big, skilful Trinity Gaels side. The improvements game to game are clear for all to see. Keep looking up, keep passing, keep trusting one another.
Thanks as usual to all coaches and support!
Ballymun Kickhams V U10s
Super 10s!
Once more - this team never fails to turn up!
Against a very talented, strong, hard hitting Kickhams squad, our teams started a little timid but eventually found their stride!
All the hard training we've done in August is clearly on display now with handling, passing and space awareness much better!
A battered, exhausted squad finished - knowing they were in combative game - the standard is now set!
Loved the attitude we showed - respected our opponent's no matter what was said to us, how poor a tackle was - we kept our heads, never went down - always stayed focused -
Our Club Summer Camp 2022 Ends
Our Club Camp 2022 offically ended today and what a week it was!
What a great 5 days our kids have had! 140 kids rolled through the gates this week - up 60 from last year!
Training, learning, making friends and most of all - lots of fun!
It was brilliant to see our main pitch full of activity on all 5 days!
Thank you!
Where do we start?
Thank you to our once in a lifetime GPO Nigel Kennedy and his 15+ coaches who trained, looked after, entertained our kids this week - you were all amazing and the kids loved you!
Thank you to the organisers and especially Hubert Madigan who simply made this work this week!
Thank you to our club president Mary Madigan and all those that helped organise the shop this week - Sherie, Trish, Edel, Tootsie, Michelle - your help was priceless!
Thank you to Mick Kennedy in K&K Produce who supplied all our healthy fruit daily and Ivan Sutton in S&S Windows for your sponsorship now and always!
Thanks to the Dublin Port Company who we hope to work closer and closer with - and who sponsored our 60 Nursery Jerseys - and John Farrell / Hubert Madigan who made this happen! Big thank you to Declin Cowley who organised our new club wide Kit and Ross Carrig in Balon who supplied it! Thanks to Mattie for giving up your time today and taking all the pictures!
We would also like to thank you - the parents - for the taxi service you provided bringing the children to the complex.

Club Kit
I know you're sick of reading and hearing this - but thank you to Declan Cowley who organised this club wide Kit deal and the decision makers who saw a key opportunity and added the discounted Kit to the Summer Camp pricing which meant that our entire club is kitted out and branded! Unreal!
For those that don't have Kit yet - don't worry we'll let you know when it arrives.
Club Camp
This is not official yet - but our club camp will be a 3 day affair this year and will take place in August - either the 3 dates 17th/18th/19th or 24th/25th/26th. We will let you know as soon as we know.
Club Day
Our Club Day is ear marked for Sat 27th August - please save the date!!
As you may agree - last years Club day was a huge success and a blue print for all club days to come! This years format will follow suit with a few surprises!
BBQ, live music & kids entertainment. All teams will play on this day - league, cup and friendlies. We intend to have all teams playing at similar times this time around in the space of 2 hours - then we'll have a BBQ, music & bar till late evening
Come and go as you please! All welcome - members and non members! Specific itinerary to follow

U10s Superb V Scoil Ui Conail
Scoil Ui Conail V U10s - 07/05/2022
If you haven't come down to see this team - you must!
This young team is full of talent from back to front and coached & trained magnificently.
They're mobile, fluid, ooze creative instinct - add to that good handling & catching - and always talking to one another - and you see where this observer is coming from!
What seems to be changing about this team is their awareness of one another with a joy of passing and moving the ball on to a team mate preferable to going solo! They seem to have the lot!
Keep moving, keep passing, keep listening boys ...
