Match reports .. Sat Mar 9, 2019..

Group 1 had hurling matches away to Kilmacud Crokes.. the Antelopes got beaten by a good few points.. some of the Kilmacud Crokes lads looked a little older and could really hurl and take their points.. great blocking by Clontarf though..

The Bears played a great game with work needed on the one handed roll back lift in rucks.. Some of our lads were getting caught out with too many solos.. and a bit of work on the weaker side would be beneficial.. some lads got caught out turning on to their stronger side and getting blocked, but a win is a win..

The Group 2 Lions played very well in their hurling match against Fingallians in testing conditions with particular strong performances from Mikey O'Neill and Samuel Galvin..

It was a similar story for the Cheetahs with Tom Joyce and and Terry Og McAdam putting in All-Star performances..

For the Bulls there were two very strong performances from Gary Spring and Ollie Daly.. great battling from Jack Gallagher too.. Gary, Diarmaid O'Brien and Lochlann Murray played very well too while "on loan" to Fingallians who were short on players..

Across Group 2 the matches were good although conditions were not ideal.. we all need to practice the the one handed roll back lift in rucks and in training some 2 on 2 games practicing this skill might reduce the tentativeness of some of the boys too.. some work on the block and hook needed too..

MATCH REPORTS.. SATURDAY MARCH 2, 2019..

GROUP 1.. Away v Fingalians Football..

Very strong performances across the board with all three teams winning..

The Bears played really well overall and won comfortably.. Could have won by more but missed a few shots..

The Antelopes put away a lot of points in the first half and some great handpassing throughout. A fair few wides so need to address a bit of target shooting at training.. kicking the ball over the bar on the run.. well done to all involved this morning..

Great team performance by the Cougars.. the boys tried for points when in front of goal.. great use of the handpass to keep the ball moving..

GROUP 2 .. Home v Fingalians Football..

Likewise three very strong performances today with big wins in all three games..

The Lions played very well. Some great passing and points taken.. Mikey O'Neill played extremely well as did Tom Joyce with some great blocking..

The Cheetahs played great team football with a Man of the Match performance from Ivan Tew.. Fingalians were a few men down so Cathal McAdam, Daniel Sweeney and Dylan McKeown offered to play for the visitors and put in strong performances to settle the Fingalians side..!! Thanks lads..!! Charlie Bourke and Terry Og McAdam kept the engine purring and David Ryan, Ronan Briody and Sean Giles chased, hassled and scored right up to the final whistle.. A great team effort..

Match Reports.. Sat Feb 23, 2019..

Group 1 Home v Vincents Hurling..

Cougars put up a big score 14-5 : 0-1 and the 1 was an own point from Conor McDermott shooting the wrong way just after half time..!! Ben Kilgallon, Charlie Winters, Joseph McGuigan and Rian Dooley all had very good games and look set for a move within the group.. Everyone played well and nearly everyone scored.. Need to continue working on their lifting..! For the Bears, Donagh Kirwan, Bruce Ryan and Ian Ross had notably strong games..

Group 2 Away v Castleknock

Over in Castleknock, the boys won both games.. even though they were short two players in both games..!! The Bears had a great tussle with Castleknock with Ollie Daly superb in defence, ably assisted by Ryan Caffrey, Jack Gallagher and Diarmaid O'Brien. Gary Spring was a powerhouse in midfield (and beyond.!) with some fine fielding and striking by Lochlann Murray. Up front David Ryan, Luka Hodson and Daniel Sweeney. Great team effort. Well done.

Sunday Feb 24... last day of the GORMANSTOWN Ground Hurling Tournament.. Well done to all the lads.. 6 weeks of great performances by all involved.. The boys did the club proud.. Well done and thanks to all the mentors who helped out... Great few weeks and boys had fun and learnt a lot from the sessions..

MATCH REPORTS.. SAT/SUN FEB 16/17, 2019..

Hitting the ground running...….

Matches finally resumed last weekend and the boys took up where they left off... competitive football matches at home and away against Kilmacud and Castleknock...

Group 1 "Bears" won by 2 points against Kilmacud.. everyone played their part on a great team performance with Donnacha Hargaden having a particularly good game in defence and scoring some nice points at the other end too.. well done "Bears"

Group 1 "Antelopes" also had a very competitive game and lost by a few points.. once again everyone contributed but the star player was Eanna Hurley who wasn't afraid to "get stuck in".. Great to see them back playing..

Group 2 "Cheetahs" had a narrow win.. they were a bit rusty to start with lads trying to kick "no look" 30 yard passes..!! Big improvement in the 2nd half where their short passing game paid dividends.. some great scores from Ryan Caffrey and special mention to Luke Flanagan for two point blank saves..

Group 2 "Lions" had a slow start with difficulties finding a man from the kick out.. Samuel Galvin and Charlie Bourke's efforts improved that situation.. Oisin Egan and Tom Joyce were tough in defence both showing a "never give up" attitude.. Patrick Doody, Mark Mooney Masterson and Ivan Tew did their best to find space and retain possession but Castleknock were constantly hustling.. A big effort in the second half saw great improvement and the match ended fair and square in a draw, according to the ref....!!

On Sunday, the Gormanstown squad headed north again to the indoor hurling games.. both teams played extremely well.. 2 wins out of 2.. Hard to pick out the star players but the joint award goes to Fionn Trimble in game 1 who found the back of the net a couple of times and Luke Flanagan in game 2 who also scored and pulled on everything.. two tough physical encounters against Crumlin and Whitehall.. Always good to come out on top but even better to see all the lads "getting stuck in"....

A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE MOMS AND DADS WHO MAKE SUCH A BIG COMMITMENT OVER THE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND TO BRING THE BOYS TO THEIR MATCHES...…. AND TRAINING....!!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Busy... busy... busy....!!!! That would be a fair description of our first full week of the new season but it appears to have gone pretty well.. With potentially four sessions per week this is going to take a lot more organisation on the part of the mentors to ensure everything runs smoothly and we get the most out of each session..

The creation of "training groups" is a step in that direction.. Now the boys when they turn up for training, know their bib colour and can head straight away to their first training station..

So here we go for another "full" week..

Tuesday Jan 22.. Hurling and Football.. Training.. DCC Alfie Bryne Road.. 1755-1900..

Friday Jan 25.. Hurling and Football.. Training.. Club Astro, Seafield Road West..1745-1840..

Saturday Jan 26.. Hurling and Football.. Training.. St David's, Artane.. 1000-1130..

Sunday Jan 27.. Gormanstown Hurling Tournament.. Gormanstown College.. 1545-1700..

You'll receive a TEAMER notification prior to each event (a lot, we know..!!) but please ACCEPT or decline as soon as possible so we can best plan and execute all of our sessions and matches..!!

MOST IMPORTANTLY.. EVERYONE TO AVE FUN....!!!!!!!

________________________________________________________________________________________
