An Oige Closing – New Club Premises?

Posted on May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 By admin

Sadly An Oige informed us that they are closing the Dublin premises in mid-July. So we have to source alternative premises at quite short notice.

So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions could they let one of the Committee (Bernard, Breandán, Brendan, Mick, Conor, Tom Paddy or Peter)  know and we shall investigate and hopefully we can find a suitable place asap.

Heidenfeld Trophy Result a 5-3 win, away to Inchicore

Posted on April 6, 2019April 8, 2019 By admin

Our Heidenfeld trophy side won 5-3 away to Inchicore on Thursday, in Round 10 of the leagues.

Wins for Kevin, Conor, Colm, and Oisin, and draws for Dave and Art. Dario was very unlucky in a long game. That should keep us in the mix in the last round.
