Tir Chonaill Gaels GFC Club Notes

Tir Chonaill Gaels Club Notes - 30th May 2016

London Vs Mayo

Well done to London who faced an impressive Mayo team at Ruislip at the weekend. In particular to our own players Mark Gottsche, Liam Gavaghan, Phil & Killian Butler, Gavin McEvoy & Brian McBrearty. Even Vince McCarthy got in on the act by showing off some fancy football by shimmying his way through the Mayo defence to collect a stray ball! The team will now wait to see who they face when the qualifiers draw takes place.

Our own senior team are back in action this coming Saturday, 4th June at Ruislip against The Kingdom with throw-in at 6pm.

Francie O'Donnell Memorial Cup 

Five teams took part in the nine-a-side tournament in glorious conditions in Greenford at the weekend. Francie O'Donnell was a great servant to the Gaels throughout his time in London and the tournament is a fitting tribute to him. TCG Seniors, TCG Juniors, Kingdom of Kerry Gaels, St. Kiernan's and the Round Towers contested the cup with our own senior team coming out on top after meeting the Round Towers in the final. Club secretary Michael Mullen rolled back the years and played a blinder in the goals that he had just expertly fitted the nets on earlier in the morning for the Juniors, a true all-rounder! A huge thanks to Maurice Carr and his bunch of merry men for getting everything ready for the Mens and Ladies tournaments on the day. Finally to referees Beano Collins, Conor Kineally & Hughie McGarvey for overseeing affairs. 

Good luck

The club would like to wish good luck to former player Benny Reilly who is moving back to Ireland and wish Benny all the best for the future.
