St Kiernans Club Update
The time has come to start with our updates again as the new club season is almost upon us , firstly we would like to wish all our players with both the London Seniors and juniors the very best for tomorrows action at Mcgovern Park as the seniors take on Sligo in the Connacht championship(throw in 3pm) and the juniors host Scotland in the All Britain Junior championship (throw in 12.45pm),we have three players with the seniors ,Eoin Walsh , Chris Farley and Oran Kerr while we have eight on the junior panel , Tom Waters, Chris Griffin , Matt Joyce, Caolan Doyle , Brendan Mulrooney, Rhys Lennon , Sean Mcgoldrick and of course the captain Matt Tierney -hopefully its the start of something great for both sides , also a word of thanks to club members who are helping out at Ruislip this weekend and to clubman Liam Brennan for having the pitch in the condition it is in , it's sure to be a great day .
Senior , junior and reserve training has been back a few weeks with good numbers getting back in the groove again , the seniors kick the season off on Saturday 15th in Greenford against Tir Conaill Gaels and the juniors follow that with their opening cup game against St Anthonys , here's hoping to a similar season as 2022.Training continues on Thursdays at Barnet Elizabethans Ruby club for all senior sides at 7.30pm.
Underage winter training has completed in the last few weeks and will return to Barnet Lane after the Easter break , please speak to your coaches for times or check group chats , the U15 team had a very successful weekend in Tipperary last weekend winning both games and learning a lot along the way , thanks to all who travelled and organised ,plans are in place for the underage tour to Waterford in April 2024 and further details will be released in the coming weeks .All fixtures have been updated now so speak to your coaches for further details .
The girls and ladies have been busy with training and friendlies to get ready for the new season and have had some promising performances so far , a sprinkling of new faces have also joined so competition for places is hotting up , its an element of the club that continues to thrive .
