Thanks to all who have come to SGMs and AGMs – its encouraging to see good participation in this important annual gatherings: Unlucky weekend for the juvenile girls last week with the U12 (1996) D2 Shield Final against Clontarf and the U10 (1998) camogie game against St Annes being postponed due to the weather. The U12 Final is re-fixed for 1.30pm this Sunday, venue to be confirmed.
The Girls U10 (1998) footballers were also very unlucky to be beaten by a last minute goal by St Maurs in the D2 Shield Final. Despite the outcome it was a great performance which was celebrated in style back in the club after the game with pizzas and a re-run of the game on DVD.
The Girls U13s , 14s and 16s footballers are all playing in finals this weekend. U13 Girls are in Div 2 Championship final this Sunday against Ballinteer. The game is played at Lucan Sarsfields (12th Lock) with a 1:30pm throw-in and then back to Cuala afterwards. U14 girls are playing St.Brigids in the Div 1 Shield Final in Portmarnock on Saturday with a 1:45pm throw-in. U16 Girls are playing Clontarf in Div 2 Shield Final in Rush on Sunday at 2pm.
O’Donovan Rossa from Belfast came down to Cuala to play the U13 Dublin Hurling Champions in a friendly last week-end. Cuala came out the better of a tough encounter. Rossa have taken scalps from Na Piarsigh, Blackrock, Ballyboden and Crokes on previous trips south so well done lads!.
