DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
CUMANN NA MBUNSCOL- FOOTBALL
I had the pleasure of watching our Junior A team beat St. Laurence's in Meadowvale yesterday. The team were unbelievable. Their teamwork, skills, determination and energy astounded me. Our Junior B team were just as impressive. Against our local rivals, St. Brigid's, our Bs put on a magnificent display once again and they are now top of their league. Hollypark BNS are now top of all four leagues we have entered, Junior A and B and Senior A and B. Well done to all players and coaches. Much to my horror, the future of Dublin football is looking very, very bright!!!
Uniform Sale
Thank you to everyone who supported our uniform sale both with donations of uniforms and coming along to the sale. It was a great success. The Parents' Association will organise another uniform collection and sale in May/June of next year.
Many thanks, Sarah (PA Chairperson)
