Huge congratulations to the Rathgar Men’s 1st team who were comprehensive winners of the Class 3 DLTC over 35’s Senior League. They beat Castleknock 2 in a very windy battle in Clontarf yesterday.
The winning team comprised:
Eoin McCormack (Captain) and Jason Twohig
Keith Lyons and Barry Clifford
Mick MacAree and Alan Ryan
Other men who played on the way to this success were Declan Harrington, Mick Dempsey, Paul Castonas, Mike Mansfield whose valuable contribution ensure the team qualified top of their group and helped in earning promotion to Class 2.
Hard luck to the Women’s 1st team who made it to the semi-final of Class 2 but were unfortunately beaten by a very strong Wicklow 1st team (who went on to become the overall winners). Well done to the team of Niamh Allen (Captain), Jenny Black, Claire McGuinness, Zoe O’Hara, Karen Lowe and Katie McGill (and the fabulous subs) for reaching the semi-final.
