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!

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!

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!!
