Ladies 30th Anniversary

Congratulations to the Ladies, who celebrated their 30th year in existence on Saturday, 5/10/24. A very large crowd assembled in Boyle Park to commemorate the team which started out on Parkers meadow, 30 years ago, as Boyle Park was being re-surfaced that year. The morning began with fun & games including a sack race, egg & spoon races, face painting, a bar-b-que and underage games. Players from over the years all dusted off their boots and played a very enjoyable challenge game. Following the game Chairperson Rosaleen Fox in a packed hall thanked Patrick Moynagh for sponsoring special 30 year commerative tops. A presentation of flowers was made to two of the original players, who are still playing on the senior team, Aisling Mc Dermott and Teresa Clerkin. Framed jerseys were presented to the families of two sadly deceased players, Joanne Mc Cabe & Emma Kate O Reilly.
