Club notes 11th May 2015

1st round Championship

Last Sunday Holloway Gaels took on Parnells in the first round of the Senior London Ladies Championship in Greenford. Holloway started the stronger side and showed great skill, fitness and determination throughout the game against defending champions and previous All-Ireland Intermediate Club winners. Parnells ran out eventual winners in a tightly contested game with a final scoreline of Parnells 6-8 Holloway Gaels 4-7. A lot of positives will be taken from this game going into next week’s game against Fr. Murphy’s in the 2nd round of the Championship which takes place next Sunday at 12.30pm in Greenford – All support welcome.

Holloway Gaels are now back training for the 2015 season. Training takes place Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7pm and on Saturday mornings at 10am at Downhills Park N17 6AP. If interested in coming training please contact recruitmenthollowaygaels@gmail.com. All new players welcome.
