🌟 A massive congratulations to our very own Finbarr Shanahan, who officiated at last weekend’s All Britain Competition held in London.

👏 Also well done to fellow Dublin official Paul Flanagan, who joined Finbarr in making sure the games ran smoothly and fairly.

Now in its 14th year, the All Britain Competition has grown into one of the largest youth sporting events across any discipline. Last weekend’s tournament saw an incredible 4,361 young athletes, aged 6 to 18, take part - a testament to the passion and scale of this wonderful competition.

💚💛 The Clean Sweep is Complete! 💛💚🔥

With every other Adult team in the club chalking up wins over the weekend, the pressure was well and truly on the Ladies 1st Team to bring it home — and they did just that on a scorcher of an evening! ☀️🏐

Despite missing a few regulars (holidays, injury, hayfever, or hiding from the heat — we’re not naming names 😅), the girls rallied with the bare 15. Meanwhile, the opposition looked like they brought their entire extended family, such a large panel! 😏

Special mention to the Ladies 2nd Team call-ups, Keri T and Emma Mc, who stepped in to help and give some of the girls a breather.

What a few days it’s been for the Adult section of our club — every single team a winner. That’s the kind of energy we’re bringing into championship season. Let’s keep the buzz going! 🏆🎉

Special shout out to our Ladies 1 team sponsor Newpark Construction ...

🎉 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE PITCH 🏐

After a drought longer than a Lent without chocolate, our Ladies 2nd Team has finally DONE IT — our first win since the season kicked off!

🚑 The pitch looked more like a battlefield than a football field, with our older legends hobbling around like extras from Braveheart. Every stretch, twinge, and “I’ll be grand” was a testament to the war wounds they’ve proudly collected like loyalty points over the years. 🩹

🕺💃 And let’s not forget it was a Monday night fixture… perfect timing just after a weekend of “low-key” madness. Apparently, recovery time for bodies over 25 is now listed in weeks. Yet still — we prevailed.

👵👧 Our team`s secret ingredient? A spicy blend of youth and experience. The young ones bring legs and pace. The older crew bring grit, guile, and enough tape to hold together a minor medical clinic.

👀 As for our new management team — well, let’s just say they’d started to believe that winning was more of a fictional concept, but after last nights miracle, they’re smiling like it was all part of the master plan.

💪 To everyone who’s trained in hail (not many to be honest), played through pain, and stuck with it through the chaos - this win’s for you. Let’s enjoy it… before our next game and someone’s hamstring reminds most of us we’re not 21 anymore.

Hon the ladies 2nd team! 💚💛

A little shout out to our jersey sponsors @bradysatcoolquay ...
