Club Shop Goes Online: Getting your Club gear couldn’t be easier now following the introduction of our new Click and Collect Club Shop. You can now go online, browse through a huge selection of jerseys, socks, shorts, gloves, helmets, jackets, tops etc. etc. and in your own time make your selections. Then you follow three simple steps.

Step 1. Fill in the Order Form

Step 2. Receive your Order Confirmation by email (date, location, time for collection)

Step 3. Collect Order

 

It’s as simple as that but if you have any queries, email: [email protected]

Club Shop Acknowledgement: Kevin Hogan has responded on behalf of the team (Kevin, Mags Heelan and Ger O’Reilly) who previously ran the mobile shop for upwards of 22 years.

‘On behalf of Geraldine, Mags and myself we would like to say a big thank you to everyone for all your good wishes on our retirement, and for all your support down through the years at the Club shop. Sorry we couldn’t reply to everyone individually.’

Nursery Returns (Again): Given the new Level 3, Covid-19 Restrictions for Dublin it took a while to work out the logistics of operating the Nursery under the latest guidelines so it was great to see it back up and running on Saturday last (September 26). Well done to everyone involved. Three venues were in use, Tir na nÓg, Somerton and Porterstown for the 2013 Girls 10am-11am and the 2014 Boys and Girls 11.30am-12.30. Expect an announcement during the week with regard to the 2015 and 2016 Girls and Boys groups.

 

Former Castleknock Player’s Success: Congrats to former Castleknock Senior Football team member Mattie Walsh on winning the Tyrone SFC with his native club Dungannon Thomas Clarkes.

 

All four of Dungannon’s SFC matches this year went to extra-time, the Final against Trillick being won 8-7 on penalties, to give Dungannon a first Tyrone title for 64 years (1956). A massive achievement for Mattie and his team-mates.

Results Up-Date: With no juvenile or U-18 fixtures permitted at present the first match this past week was on Thursday (Sept.24) when our Junior ‘B’ Hurlers put in an amazing second-half display to come from three points down to beat Kilmacud by 2-20 2-8 in the Junior ‘B’ Hurling Cup to qualify for the Final.

On Sunday morning (Sept.27) the Minor ‘C’ Footballers received a second walk-over in the Cup to top Group 1, unbeaten on six points. In the early afternoon the Ladies Football Div.5 team had a huge win over Kilmacud 4-18 2-1 in the Adult League to move equal top of the Group while later on Sunday afternoon our Junior 5 Footballers had a terrific win over Naomh Barrog in the Cup to win Group 2 with three wins from three.   

Next Week’s Highlight: After their thrilling Semi-Final victory over Erin’s Isle, the Castleknock Junior ‘F’ Hurlers, our last remaining Adult Championship side, meet Fingallians in the Championship Final in O’Toole Park at 1.30pm on Sunday next (Oct.4) behind closed doors. Good luck to Patsy Hough, John Kilkenny and all the players.

And Remember – Keep Washing Your Hands – Maintain Social Distance – Wear A Face Covering
