21-12-20 Castleknock Club Notes

SIX OF THE BEST: Congratulations to Dublin on making it an extraordinary six-in-a-row of All-Ireland Football Championship successes in beating Mayo 2-14 0-15 on Saturday (December 19) with especial congratulations to our own Ciarán Kilkenny (0-3 on Saturday)(1-20 in total for the year) on winning an amazing 7th All-Ireland Senior Football medal.

The Club is immensely proud of Ciarán and his historic achievements as part of the greatest football team of all time. He remains an inspirational role model for every Castleknock player and our younger players in particular so it was brilliant to see him named RTE Sunday Game 2020 Player of the Year with hopefully more accolades of this type still to come. Thanks for the 2020 memories Ciarán. On now to The Magnificent Seven.

Ladies Football Success: Congratulations as well to the Dublin Ladies Footballers on a 4th successive All-Ireland Senior Football win, this time beating Cork 1-10 1-05 on Sunday (December 20) to bring down the curtain on an amazing year of football. Castleknock has no players in the Dublin panel at present but we are hopeful of that situation changing in the very near future.

U-20 Hurling and Football: The Dublin U-20 hurlers beat Wexford 1-19 1-10 in the Leinster Semi-Final on Friday night (December 18) and go on now to meet Galway in the Leinster Final on Sunday January 3, 2021. Good luck to Conor Murray and Luke Swan. Sadly however it was heartache for Luke Swan (0-1) and the five other Castleknock lads, Senan Forker, Darragh Warnock, Conor Chawke, Conor Kelly and Ciaran Murphy on Dublin’s U-20’s Football team who in spite of a tremendous comeback lost the All-Ireland U-20 Football Final to Galway by a point, 0-13 1-11, in Croke Park on Saturday before the Senior Final. Again it was a great honour for the Club to have so many talented young players involved at this level and we are all tremendously proud of your efforts.

Lotto Jackpot Winner (At Long Last): Heartfelt congratulations to Laura Banks one of our 2010 Girls’ mentors who on Thursday December 10, 2020 won the Jackpot of €10,000. Laura, enjoy what will surely be an unforgettable Christmas for you and your family.

Christmas Raffle Results: A particularly Happy Christmas is also on the way for everyone who won Hampers in our very first (and hopefully from now on Annual) Christmas Raffle which was held online on Friday night (December 18). A huge thankyou to the Committee (from the 2012 Boys mentors) who organised it all – Paul Fallon, David Downing, Mark Watters, Martin McGarry, Michael Sweeney, Stef Gadiot and Tomás McDonagh. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who helped make the Raffle such a great success including the Ticket Sellers, those who bought tickets and those who publicised it on social media. Everything was superbly well organised and the Club appreciates the enormous amount of time and effort involved.

In purchasing the Hamper ingredients the Committee decided to support the local businesses who have been so supportive of us over the years: The 12th Lock; Atomic Fitness; Camille; The Carpenter; Castleknock Golf (Vue); Castleknock Hotel; Centra; Clonsilla Pharmacy; College Hair; Dunnes; Edward McManus Pharmacy (Donated); Ethersons Butchers; Get Fresh; Gleesons Butchers; Hair Creations; Insomnia; Joes Barbers; Kavanaghs; Lloyds Pharmacy; Luttrellstown Golf Club; Molloys; ODC Chemists; Pita Pitt; Romayos Chipper; San Marino Chipper; Silver Spoon (Donation); Spar; SuperValu; Tesco; The Bell; The Fish Market and of course we ask you to support these businesses in return. Buy Local. Shop Local. Stay Local.
