Dulwich Harps
The ladies continued their winning ways with another convincing win against Tara’s in the first round of the league.

The game is scheduled to take place in Greenford at 11:00am.

Eire Og
Training:
Training for the intermediate and reserve teams continues this week at Park View Academy (N15 3QR) on Wednesday 3rd April at 7:30pm.
Results:
A thorough and clinical first half performance from Eire Óg laid the foundations for a well-deserved victory on Saturday afternoon in the preliminary round of the Intermediate Football Championship in McGovern Park, Ruislip.
Opponents Tir Chonaill Gaels were missing several regular players and gave a number of debuts to new recruits that will no doubt be a great experience for them ahead of their cup and league campaigns.
Early points from Caolan Conroy and some monstrous efforts from John Coyle gave Eire Óg a promising lead before Tir Chonaill Gaels answered back with two points from placed balls.
With Eire Óg beginning to get on top at midfield through captain Stephen O’Keeffe and wing backs Pat Tobin and Tony Fegan, the North London side capitalised by scoring 3 quick fire goals. Jason Boles dispatched the first before Ciaran McElhinney and Conroy added further goals to put Eire Óg into a comprehensive lead at half time.
Tir Chonaill Gaels came out fighting after the first half and added to their total within in the first 60 seconds of the second half. This was shortly followed by a goal from the penalty spot. John Coyle, who was making his debut, got Eire Óg back on the scoreboard with 2 glorious outside of the boot efforts
Jason Boles’ second goal seemed to be the icing on the cake as far as Eire Óg were concerned but a powerful finish into the Eire Óg net seconds before the end took a little bit of shine off the result.
Nevertheless, 4-18 of which 4-15 was from play was a superb days’ work for Eire Óg who gave 3 debuts to new recruits. Next up is a Murphy Cup clash vs St Brendan’s in Greenford on Saturday April 6th. Final Score: Eire Óg 4-18 Tir Chonaill Gaels 2-5
Upcoming Fixtures:
Mc Aleer and Rushe Murphy Cup Vs St Brendans in Greenford at 2pm on Saturday 6th April. After an opening day win vs CuChullains, the lads will look to move closer to a semi final position on Saturday afternoon.
