Although achieving no success in 2019 the club has made progress and it is felt that success is just around the corner. This Sunday is going to be a historic and honourable day for the club as we are going to have Uachtaran Cumann Luthcleas Gael John Horan  in attendance alongside the Sigerson Cup. which was won this year by DCU with our senior player Michael Bannigan playing a vital role in their success.  Can players and parents arrive for 4.30pm where they can also register for 2020 which will coincide with Summer Camp registration as well.  It is definitely one day not to be missed.
