Thomas McCurtains club notes

September 24, 2019

Next weekend the big one is the Intermediate Football Championship Final on Sunday in Ruislip. Best of luck to the footballers as they take on  a very  good Tir Chonaill Gaels team at 3.30pm. Elsewhere on Saturday the Ladies Footballers are taking part in the Monica Dee tournament in Greenford and the Hurlers continue their Senior Championship campaign against St Gabriels. All support is welcome to turn Ruislip maroon and white.

Last weekend the results on the pitch didn't go our way as bout the Hurlers and the Ladies Footballers lost out in their games.
