Pitches declared unplayable again

The Porterstown pitches have been declared unplayable this weekend. So our match against Mount Merrion on Sunday is off.

Cancellation of all weekend matches

Unfortunately all matches are cancelled again this weekend due to the bad weather. We had hoped that we would be able to arrange a training session instead, but it was not possible to get a usable green area.

We will be taking a team photo at our training on Wednesday so be sure to come along looking your best and wearing team colours if you have them.

Cancellation of Trainning tonight

We have decided to cancel training tonight due to the fact that it clashes with the Ireland v France world cup play-off match.

Under 12s schedule of fixtures

Out under 12 girls are scheduled to play WFTA away next Sunday 22/November. Kick-off will be at 11am at their Kildonan Road (weather permitting). We will meet up beside the all-weather pitches at 10:15am.

The following Sunday we are scheduled to play Mount Merrion at home followed by an away match against Ratoath. I hope the weather improves and we will be able play some of these fixtures.

Our trip to Croke Park

The girls who were lucky enough to get a ticket to the Ireland v France game in Croke Park had a great time, despite the unfortunate result. Here are a few photographs.

Sunday's match called off

Our match against Eniskerry on Sunday has been called off due to the bad weather conditions. NDSLL has cancelled all matches so the under 15 match is off also.

Weekend plans

Congratulations to the lucky winners of the draw for tickets to the Ireland v France game on Saturday night and commiserations to those who did not win. Due to the limited number of tickets we were given it was inevitable that some would be disappointed.

The following under 12 players won tickets:

1. Aine Waters
2. Ciara Brady
   
3. Dearbhla Monaghan
4. Emma Boyle
5. Leah Byrne
6. Lucy Hanlon
7. Niamh O'Donovan
8. Sarah Brady

The following under 15 players won tickets:

1. Aisling Hoey
2. Eadaoin Feeney
3. Edwina Naughton
4. Hannah Hanlon
5. Joy Guinane
6. Orlaith Higgins
   
7. Lauren McEnroe.
8. Megan Naughton

All players going to the match should wear their Castleknock Celtic Jersey over their normal clothes. This will help us identify the group in case anyone gets lost in the crowd - luckily this is also the Ireland colours.

All players should meet up at the Coolmine train station at 6pm sharp. If anybody can't come they should let us know as soon as possible. If you can't come it is not up to you to choose your replacement, we will have a fresh draw to choose the player replacing anybody who can't come.

Our weekend match is a home match against Eniskerry. Kick-off will be at 11:30. All players should meet up at Porterstown at 11am. I hope nobody will have problems getting up so early after the excitement of the match the night before.

Match against Sallynoggin called off

The macth against Sallynoggin has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Porterstown is also unplayable so we can't switch to a home match. I hope we won't have a repeat of last year where a large number of the matches had to be called off.

Under 12 Fixture for next Sunday

The under 12 team will play their first match of the DWSL league on Sunday next 8th of November. It is an away match against St. Joseph's Sallynoggin. Kick-off is at 1pm, but since it is a considerable journey we will need to meet up at 12 noon beside the All-Weather picthes

I would like to applogise because I might have confused as few of you by telling you the match was on Saturday. All DWSL matches are played on Sundays, which probably suits many people better anyway.
