2019 Training

The senior & reserve team training is continuing every Tuesday and Thursday night in Perivale Park at 19:30 – any new payers are always more than welcome, see the below ‘new players’ section if you are interested in getting involved in the club. Please keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook for any updates to this.

Results & Fixtures

At the weekend the Senior team took on St Brendan’s in the Semi Final of the Murphy Cup and came out the wrong side of the result. A very sluggish start from the Joes seen them register only 1 point in the first period from the boot of Fehin Mitchell in comparison to St Brendan’s 5 in the same time frame – it must be said that only for some wayward shooting from the Brendan’s guys they could have been much further ahead at the interval.

After a nice dressing down at half time the Joes upped their performance significantly with points from James Gartlan, Niall McAlynn, Peter Wallace and Eamonn McGovern bringing them to a point ahead with ten minutes left to play – however they were then left to rue some missed opportunities of their own as Brendan’s converted two scores to leave them a point up in the final moments of the game to which they held on.

On the overall balance of play St Brendans deserved the victory but there will be learning for our lads as they progress through the season.

The reserve side took to the pitch in their 4th game of the season on Saturday in Greenford. They came up against a well drilled St.Kiernans side who probably took advantage of their junior game being postponed in the same venue with the North London men running out comfortable winners in the end.

This week the Joes have a very busy schedule which is as follows:

Round 1 of the Div 2 League Tuesday 18/06/19 V Harlesden in Greenford for the Senior mens team 19:00 throw in.

Thursday 20/06/19 Training in Perivale for the Senior and Reserve side.

Round 2 of the Div 2 league Saturday 22/06/19 Senior Vs St.Brendan’s in Greenford with 16:00 throw in.

Round 5 of the Reserve League Saturday 22/06/19 Vs Thomas McCurtains in Greenford with a 17:30

Round 3 of the Div 2 league Tuesday 25/06/19 Vs Round Towers in Greenford with a 19:15 throw in.
