Cover Pic: "The Gospel according to Paul" all the U/10 boys taking in Paul Flynn's every word
We were delighted to have our Festival of Football back up and running again this year. We saw 24 teams from 12 counties take part and it was a most enjoyable day despite the rainy start. A tremendous amount of work was done to make this day such a success. Our U/10 mentors lead by Aiden Doherty spent countless hours arranging all and the parents also joined in to make sure things ran smoothly. Well done all involved on a super job.

Big thanks to Paul Flynn for coming to the Blitz and presenting the participation medals to all the teams. With 370 players it took some time but all the boys were delighted to meet Paul. It sure added to this great occasion.

Our U/15 Camogie team travelled to Castleknock and Westmanstown for their Féile over the weekend. The girls got off to to an absolutely fantastic start in Castleknock, with Fingallians, Castleknock and Naomh Padraig ending up on equal points. Then it went to Round Robin with nail biting performances and Fingallians were in the semi-final. The girls then travelled to Westmanstown for a nail biting semi-final where they played their hearts out and lost out on getting to the final by a single point. They played fantastic and it was a great display of team work, camogie skills and love of the game. Thanks to all the supporters who travelled out. Well done girls and all the mentors
