Search Results for 'Ken Dolan'

Disappointment was the order of the day as Garrycastle ladies came up short against a talented Laois outfit in this year’s Leinster intermediate semi-final in Portarlington last Sunday. Having reached last year’s provincial decider, hopes were high that Ken Dolan’s women could go a step further this year.

Garrycastle ladies completed their hat-trick of county titles at the expense of a game Milltown in Cusack Park on Sunday last.

With the Flanagan Cup already settled into the comfortable surrounds of Garrycastle, Tubberclair, and Caulry completed a memorable treble for south-side clubs by capturing the Westmeath intermediate and junior titles respectively last weekend. All three clubs border each-other, and to have the three main pieces of silverware on offer in the county wintering so closely together is a rare occurrence indeed.

Let’s face it dear reader, this is the bleakest part of the year. Evenings getting ever shorter, leaves falling faster than property prices and rain bucketing down all do little to warm the heartstrings. Not to mention that with very few matches between now and next February there’ll be very little for us hurlers on the ditch to talk about over the next few months. Thankfully Garrycastle, Tubberclair, and Caulry all have Leinster club matches coming up and hopefully one or all of them can get on a run and give a timely boost to football in the county. Otherwise we’ll only have Donal Og’s personal life or Tadhg Kenelly’s ‘revelation’ to discuss and we don’t want that now do we?
