With championship in full swing it’s time to take stock.


Football

Last weekend was a football one, so we will start with Senior Football. They played Round Towers Lusk in the second round, a 14-point win leave the table looking like this.

From my read of it Lucan need a 6 point win over Whitehall Colmcille in their last group game (a date for which has yet to be fixed) in order to advance to the quarter finals.


Intermediate Football, having earlier beaten Clontarf, drew with Templeogue Synge St, leaving the table looking like.


Their remaining fixture against St Brigid’s is scheduled for 3rd September at 6pm in Russel Park.


Junior A lost to St Pats Donate 4-09 to 5-15 but are still in there with their final group game away to St Annes on 4/9 at 11am.

Junior B had a 1:12 to 1:05 win over St Sylvesters to leave them on top of their group with their final group game on 4/9 away to St Brendans at 3pm.

Match Reports

16/08/22 Junior A Football

Challenge. F Kelly Park

Wanderers 2-9 v 0-8 Lucan


We did ok. 

A challenge game should do what it says on the label. We were challenged by Wanderers. Who are a big strong team, but we also challenged them. Particularly in the 2nd half. 


Probably should have pushed them a bit more in the opening half, but despite working some decent opportunities, we failed to close the deal on those opportunities. Rusty was the word in my head at half time. Lot of lads returning from injury, that need as much game time as possible. Jack, Colm, Adam, Farro. All lacking game time. Oscar too. Although he did have nice boots. 


Trailing at the turn Lucan reeled off 6 unanswered points, from 6 different scorers to really put the opposition on the back foot. Wanderers got a couple of break out points and then an “A Class” jammy goal to seal their win. 


Some good performances from all involved. Maybe new boy Reece gets Yorkie Bar for 0-2 on his debut, but all the young guns put on a great show. Zach gets half a Yorkie for his late point. Yes, I know it was waved wide, but obviously he couldn’t have missed from that close. 

Could he?


There were a whole load of positives from tonight. We build again on Thursday.
