Congratulations to County Wicklow Hurlers who finished strongly to edge out London on a 0-17 to 0-16 scoreline in the last of the Christy Ring Cup first round ties at Arklow on Sunday. Wicklow are away to Kildare in the next round of the Christy Ring Cup. What a win for Wicklow especially our own Eoghan O'Mahony, Gerry Connors, Andy O'Brien and George O'Brien and Michael Neary.

Our Junior A footballers travelled to Shillelagh in Round 4 of the Division 3 Football League to take on the home side. After 21 minutes of the second half with St Pats leading 2-10 to 1-05 referee Darragh Byrne appeared to have abandoned the match having issued three red cards and two black cards to Shillelagh players while our own lads had received a black card and a red card following two yellows. We now await the decision of the CCC.

Hard luck to our Senior hurlers who made the trip to Greystones in the Spring Senior Hurling League Round 1 with an understrength team who were on the wrong side of the final scoreline: Eiré Óg Greystones 3-14 St Patrick's GAA Club Wicklow 0-10

Well done to our U17 hurlers who welcomed Michael Dwyers to Dunbur last Monday and ran out winners on a scoreline of 4-15 to 3-7.

 

Well done to our u7 and u9 boys who have had a busy week with hurling Go Games in Kilcoole on Tuesday and football in Laragh Friday who did the club proud with coaches Bosco, Ian, Donal, Christian, Gary and John Joe.

 

Hard luck to the County minor ladies who were defeated in the minor b shield final. We are so proud of our 3 girls Captain Rioghna McGettigan, Erynn O'Brien and Rachel Armstrong.

 

Well done to our Junior ladies who had a comprehensive win over An Tochar during the week.

 

Our U16 girls have been busy. St Patrick's ladies Gaelic 4 Teens all had a great time taking part in the LGFA Pilot Program focussing on Teenage Players at Croke.

At the weekend the girls travelled north to take on the Ulster Champions who had invited the club. A cracking game of football was witnessed by all in attendance with the final score in Belfast 7:11 to 8:08.

 

Our U14 Girls footballers made the short trip out to the Merry Meetings to play our neighbours Rathnew LGFA in the league last Thursday evening. Everything was excellent, a beautiful & pleasant evening, a super surface/pitch at the 
 Rathnew venue and loads of vocal support from both sets of supporters, who certainly enjoyed a fine game of football over the hour. Goals by Holly Mc Sorley (2) and Molly Sweeney, combined with points from Leanne O Neill, Jennifer Madden and Katie Shea gave us a 3-06 to 2-05 half time lead. Only some great defending from Julie Phelan, Kirsty Dunne, Lauren Gregory Claire Sammon and Goalkeeper Eimear Kennedy stopped the Village girls from getting scores which could have seen them ahead at half time. We managed to get a foothold in the game early in the second half and points from Katie Shea, Christina Ashley, and Leanne O Neill settled us down. But our opposition were not going to take defeat lightly, and bounced back with a goal and a point to keep a hold on our "coat tails". Lauren Gregory won a penalty in the 49th.min and Lauren herself dispatched the penalty into the top left hand corner, which would have done the "Gooch Cooper" proud - an unstoppable effort. Points followed from Holly McSorley, Christina Ashley and Eabha Mooney which saw us leave Rathnew with an eight point victory. Fair play to Tommy Murphy's Rathnew girls, they never gave up and kept us on our toes right to the end. We will look forward to their return visit to us in Dunbur Park in June.  Final Score: Rathnew 3-07 St. Patricks 4-12 
Scorers for St. Pats: Holly Mc Sorley (2-2), Molly Sweeney (1-1), Christina Ashley (0-4), Lauren Gregory (1-0 pen), Leanne O Neill (0-2), Katie Shea (0-2), Eabha Mooney (0-1)

Team : Eimear Kennedy, Georgia O'Connell, Julie Phelan, Kirsty Dunne, Claire Sammon, Katie Shea, Lauren Gregory, Leanne O'Neill, Jennifer Madden, Hope Downey, Holly McSorley, Ari Bazigou, Molly Sweeney, Lucy Rampersaud, Niamh Kavanagh.
