There was great excitement at the U10 & U12 girls football training earlier this week as our own Roisín Kirby and fellow members of the Dublin U16 Football Team who were recently crowned U16 A Leinster Champions attended with the cup.

The side are managed by Declan Patton and Paula Jackson is the team’s FLO.

The juvenile Handball section was very busy last Sunday with a number of players competing in the Leinster B Singles Finals at numerous venues around the province. At Russell Park we hosted the U15 boys tournament.

Congratulations to those who came away with a medal on the day and well done to all who represented the club and Dublin in a very sporting manner. A big thank you too, to the parents for taking the time to bring the players to the various locations and to all of the host clubs.

It was great to have Eoin Kennedy to assist in referring and ensuring that the programme in Russell Park ran on time.
