Fr. Murphy’s Hurling Club

Results:
A good week for the club last week as we secured a 6-point victory over Kilburn B, 2-16 to 2-10 to secure our second successive Ronan Cup final appearance. We followed that victory up with a good performance against Fulham Irish in the second round of the league to retain our unbeaten start to the year, 1-19 to 0-14. Well done to the players and management.

Fixtures:
Thurs 27th, 7:15pm, Ruislip, Div 2 League vs CuChulainns.
Sat 29th, 5:30pm, Scrubs, Div 2 League vs St. Gabriel’s B.
A couple of wins in these fixtures would guarantee us a league final win, all support welcome.

Wexford Draw:
Unfortunately we had no winners in the April & May draws. June’s draw takes place on Weds where we hope to have a winner or two. Thanks once again to all for your support in this fundraiser.

Parnells

Parnells has seen a week of highs and lows. First and foremost the club suffered another blow with the sudden passing of Brendan Lynch on the 16th June.

Totally unexpected and has therefore left the club in shock. Brendan was a long serving member to the club and latterly was Vice Chair to the Ladies.

His enthusiasm, dedication and support in all areas will be missed terribly and our sympathies lie with his wife, Josephine and family. A funeral mass will be held on the 26th June at Our Lady of the Visitation R C Church, 358 Greenford Rd, Greenford, UB6 9AN.

This will be followed by an invitation to all to celebrate Brendan’s life at the Ruislip GAA Sports and Social Club, West End Rd, South Ruislip HA4 6QX.

Brendan will return to Ireland for burial which will take place on Saturday 29th June at 12pm at St Patrick’s Church, Trim, Co Meath, Ireland. May He Rest in Peace.

The club featured in 3 finals this week as well as other competitions. The first took place at Ruislip (17.6) where the U15 boys won the Div. 2 League Final beating TCG 5 – 06 to 4 -06 in an excellent close game. Then the Junior Men played Dulwich Harps in the Mullarkey Cup Final and lost by just 1 point. This was a marvellous achievement in their first season after only 10 games together with an average age of 20.8 years. The future looks very promising for this young team and plenty more to play for this season. Last but not least the U13 Boys played in the League Div. 1 Final against TCG and were very unlucky to lose by two goals in the last minutes of the game after leading in the first half; Parnells 1-3 TCG 3–3. Both teams put 100% in and lovely to see them and the supporters socialising afterwards.

The youth U6 – U10 section and U12 girls participated in the Tara Go Games Blitz on a sunny Saturday where the football was as sizzling as the weather! Many thanks to the hosts for a great event. With the exams over now, the boys and girls can focus on football and fun. This weekend the London Feile football teams will be traveling to Ireland. An exciting time for all and we wish them all good luck, especially to our club players and mentors involved.

Parnells welcomes new players across all age groups and ability. For U6-17 please contact Colin McGuinness (07779 340398) or Veronica Bailey (07768 635534) and for the Senior/Junior teams, please contact Tony Griffin (07966 160999) or Dennis Diggins (07768 352680).

2019 Training:

Please keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook for any updates to this.

Results & Fixtures:
A much better week this week than last for both the Senior and Reserve sides. Last Tuesday (18th) the Senior side took on Harlesden in round 1 of the league and recorded a victory on a score line of 0-18 to 1-05.

The guys went in the lead right from the off and never looked back – setting the tone for the game right from the off and never looked like they would get beat.

On Saturday the Joes had 2 games 1 senior and 1 reserve both in Greenford. First up the senior team took on the team that beat them in the Murphy Cup final in the form of St. Brendans.

This game went a little more according to the plan as Joes recorded a 1-10 to 0-05 victory over the south west London side. Right from the off the Joes were at the races when they recorded 1-02 within the opening 15 minutes to put them in a comfortable position going ahead for the remainder off the game with the gap at half time being 7 points.

In the second half in fairness to St.Brendans they came back fighting reducing the lead down to 4 points at one stage however this was as good as it got for their guys as the Joes men recorded a number of unanswered points to finish the game strong.

The reserve team also recorded their second win of the season when they took on Thomas McCurtains. In a game which could only be described as a goal fest the Joes men came out on top by the most minimum of margins recording a 1 point victory.

McCurtains started the game the stronger by going 1-03 to no score up in the opening 10 minutes however as time went on the Joes grew into the game and at half time were winning by 2 points.

In the second half continued in similar fashion to the end of the first when the Joes converted a number of points to leave them 7 to the good however it wasn’t at comfortable for the reserves as they would have liked in the last ten minutes when the East London side converted a goal and some points to leave the Joes up by the minimum going into the dying embers of the game. Full time score here was 4-12 to 4-11.

Well done to everyone who came out and participated over the last week. This week is a little more settled when we only have the one fixture as follows below:

Round 3 of the Div 2 league Tuesday 25/06/19 Vs Round Towers in Greenford with a 19:15 throw in.

Thomas McCurtains

There was great wins for our Hurlers against Brothers Pearse and Reserve Footballers against Éire Óg in the League last Tuesday night.

The Hurlers started well and scored 3 goals in the first half. Pearses threw everything at the lads in the second half and came close in the end but the Macs held on the record a superb one-point win. Meanwhile the Footballers were always in control against Éire Óg.

The weekend was a busy one. A fantastic win for our Camogs against Liverpool Wolfe Tones in the Championship has set the Ladies on the right path for the final. The East London Ladies were always in control of this game from the early stages with every player playing some fantastic camogie.

It wasn’t to be for our Footballers though as they lost out to Cú Chulainns in their Division 1 League fixture.

They started well and were in control in the first half leading by a point at half time. The second half was a bit of a sloppy affair. With both sides giving the ball away easily it was Cú Chulainns that made the most of the errors to win by three points. Later that day the Reserves took on St Joes in their final Reserve League game.

It was an entertaining game with both teams playing some attractive free flowing football. McCurtains started the brighter opening up a good lead before St Joes found their rhythm.

The first half was a goal fest with the sides scoring 7 goals between them and the score level at half time, Macs 3-06 to 4-03.

St Joes kicked on at the start of the second half and took the lead for the first time. The Joes at 6 points up with 5 minutes to go looked to be in control of the game, but, McCurtains showed a never say die attitude and fought back to leave the minimum between them at the end but they just couldn’t find that last score.

On Sunday our U17 footballers played a fantastic game against a strong St Kiernans side. It is a great achievement that all of the players McCurtains fielded still have at least one more year at that grade. The future looks bright.

Its Friday night lights for the Footballers as they take to the field to play the Shiels Cup Final against St Brendans in Ruislip. While the Hurlers are out on Saturday afternoon hoping to make it three wins from three in the League against Sean Traceys. Later that evening the Camogie team will host their Chairmans BBQ in The Black Lion Pub, Plaistow E13 0AD. There will be music played by Knots Down and Out on the night. It promises to be a night “Knot” to be missed.

On the county scene, a huge congratulations to the London Ladies who won the All Britain Final on Saturday morning, especially to the McCurtains players Avril Kilkelly, Bríd Murphy, Kathryn Canavan, Shona Roche, Claire O’Sullivan, Sarah O’Donnell & Allie Burke, and Catherine Barrett who is part of the background team.

Best of luck to Fergus O’Sullivan, Jamie Moran & Daire Daly who travel to Ireland as part of the South London Feile team at the weekend. They will be hosted by members of Claregalway GAA Club. They lads will play against Claregalway, Oranmore Maree & St Canices, Dungiven in the group stages on Friday and Saturday.
