 All Britain Competitions

It was indeed a very busy weekend with the ABC in Greenford. We would like to thank all the children and teams who participated in the All Britain Competitions from U8/10/12/14/16/18's and girls teams of U10/14's. Some fantastic skills were demonstrated and gallant performances in all age groups. Unfortunately we didn't win but very close, but great sportsmanship was shown within the the club. A massive thanks to all the coaches/managers and supporters and parents for all your continued support it's truly very much appreciated. A big thanks and well done to Brendie Brien and all his team and referees for what was a very well organised weekend. It was great to see the Sam Maguire and Liam McCarthy Cup in attendance where lots of the children were happy to have their photograph taken with.

 U12 League winners for 2015

Congratulations to Tara U12's who defeated Parnell’s in the Semi Final and Dulwich Harps in the final to win the League for 2015

On Friday evening the 17th of July Tara played Parnell’s in the Semi Final of the U12 League. This was a cracker of a game with two very strong teams with great play from both sides. Tara leading by just a point with half time score Tara 1-05 to Parnell’s 2-01 .

Tara came back in the second half strong as ever to win the semi-final with final by a point with final score Parnell’s 3-04 to Tara 1-11

Tara then went on to play Dulwich Harps 15 minutes later to secure the final of the league. A close game in the first half with a half time score of 1-07 to Dulwich and 2-01 to Tara's. Both teams played well but it was a clear win in the end with Tara leading by 7 points when the final whistle was blown. Well done to all of the Tara team,but a mention to Captain Shay Rafter winning a lot of procession and played extremely well. Tara were very proud to raise the cup to be crowned U12 League Winners for 2015

Well done to three of our Tara boys Ryan McCready, Luke Horgan and Tighe Barry who were selected to play in the London Provincial finals at the weekend where the U16's were narrowly defeated , but a win for the U18's. Well done to Lloyd Colfer (CDA) all involved.
