Dulwich Harps Club Notes
March 25, 2019It was a good weekend for our Men’s and Ladies teams as they both registered wins in their
respective competitions.
On Saturday, the lads had a tough task in store as they travelled west to Reading to take on St
Anthony’s in the first round of the McArdle Cup. The Harps started brightly and got the first few
points on the board courtesy of Ciaran Stone and Aaron Harper. Although two Reading goals
provided a wake up call before half time and the south London men went in at the break leading by
a point on the score line of 2-03 to 0-10.
The second half was a much tenser affair and Reading edged into a brief lead by kicking 3
unanswered points. However to their credit, the Harps lifted the intensity and manufactured two
goals of their own courtesy of Stone and Gerry McNamee. The game finished up with a two point
victory for the Harps on the score line of 2-10 to 2-12.
Then on Sunday, the girls travelled to Greenford to take on Tara’s in the semi final of the Tom
O’Connor Cup. The girls ran out convincing winners with a score line of 2-19 to 0-0. It is still early
days for the Ladies but they now progress to the Tom O’Connor final which is scheduled to be played
on 6 th of April.
