A poor day at the office yesterday with both teams encountering heavy defeats in their respective second round games of this year’s league program. The Club is presently in transition after loosing a large number of established players. This is particularly the case with our First Team where many have left mainly due to changes in work location including three of our finest in the police department who have moved out of Dublin to greener pastures and a quieter life. Also yesterdays teams took to the field without the services of many players from our current panels, missing mainly through injury and travel etc. Hopefully the longer evenings and better ground conditions will bring a new initiative and focus to the Clubs efforts. Also a big welcome to all our new players and hopefully you will stay with us and enjoy success later in the season. The Club will endeavour to stabilise things over the next couple of weeks and with a bit of luck pick up some further new recruits to replace the “A” listed players we’ve just lost. Best of Luck and Good fortune to all those ex-player’s and hopefully you enjoyed hurling with us as much as we’re missing your talents now. A request for an Internal 15-a-side Training game will be looked at immediately with a game possibly in the next week or two.
Website
A new version of our website is due to go live this weekend or early next week following recent upgrading. A big Thank you to EJ Daly, Arian Mordan, Dan Cosgrave and Juan Contreras for the huge volume of work they put in on that upgrade over the last number of weeks, not to mention Larry Boyle’s great contribution in maintaining the old site over the last number of year’s. The site will now incorporate a number of extra features including auto population of Club Notes and links to a number of social media sites etc. which should overcome past difficulties with updating and create a new dimension for the Club in cyberspace. What with Web browser, Facebook, Twitter and the postman knocking twice at Islandbridge, hurling for Service will never be the same again.
Training This Week
Islandbridge 7.00pm sharp Tonight (Monday) & Wednesday.
Diary Dates
The Club is actively involved in organising a Dog Night forlate May or early June and a Club weekend away, date and venue TBD.
