General Meeting
There will be a General Meeting in Fr. Tully Park on Tuesday April 28th at 20:30. All welcome to attend.
Senior
Ratoath will be the venue on Sunday evening at 18:00 when our Senior team look to get their Hoganstand.com Senior Championship campaign back on track with a Round 2 match against Skryne. The Tara men beat St. Patrick’s in Round 1 and will be a tough opponent but victory is a definite possibility and with it a boost for qualifying for the quarter finals.
Junior B
Last Sunday in Simonstown the Junior B’s got their Seamus Connolly Junior B Championship off to the best possible start when cruising to a 1-19 to 0-05 victory over Navan O’Mahonys. On a day when there were good performances from each member of the team Brendan Lynch top scored with 1-03 while John Smith was a dominant figure on the edge of the square.
Next up for the B’s is a game against St. Colmcilles on Sunday at 12:00 in Stamullen.
Junior D
The Junior D’s also got their Championship season off to a bright start when accounting for the challenge of Bective on Sunday last. With a much changed line up from the 2014 semi-final they struggled at times but each player dug in to grind out a six point victory. When Bective pulled the deficit back to three with time running out it looked like there could have been a grandstand finish until Mark Gleeson popped up with the insurance goal in stoppage time.
The Junior D side are out again on Saturday evening when playing Boardsmill in Round 2 at 18:00 in Walterstown.
