Harlesden Harps club notes

May 07, 2019

Upcoming fixture:

 

Harlesden Harps will begin their 2019 AIB Division 2 League campaign when we take on St Brendans this coming Thursday 09th May at 6:45pm at Greenford, pitch two, London, UB6 0NZ, referee: Ger O’Shea. As usual, make sure you check public transport is in use and for any likely traffic delays, etc and ensure everyone is at the venue nice and early for a proper preparation for the game. Let’s start off the season on a winning note.

 

Previous Match:

 

Harlesden Harps took on Tir Chonaill Gaels Juniors in their final Murphy Cup fixture recently. An even opening to the game was compromised when Ben O’Mahoney picked up two yellow cards in quick succession which changed the dynamic of the game. Although Harps adapted well to their numerical disadvantage, in the end early season, tired legs helped to edge the Gaels over the line. However, special mention must go to Darren Lynch who battled and organised well in defence and to Darren Murphy for putting on an exhibition of long-range shooting during the game. Now with the early season run-outs over it’s down to the serious business of the league for the team, let’s do it!

 

Training:

Training will take place on Tuesday evening this week, at 7:45pm in The Shamrock Club, 307A Horn Lane, Acton, W3 0BP (nearest tube station: North Acton on the Central Line). Any new players wishing to "play a bit a ball" are very welcome to come along to this well-run club. If needed we can offer good jobs, along with accommodation and a social life to our members. Transport to and from training and pick up from local stations can also be arranged.

Player recruitment:

A priority for the new season is to recruit new players of all levels. Whether you’re looking for a new club, just arrived in London, out of the game for a while or fancy trying out Gaelic Football for the first time then why not get in touch and a warm club welcome awaits.

Harps race night:

Harlesden Harps will hold a fundraising race night on Saturday 11th May 2019 in Greenes Bar, Neasden. Make sure you come along to what should be a great night and a chance to donate a few quid to club funds.
