July 21st 2018

Club Notes

Last weekend was a weekend for our youth teams as the All Britain Championships took place from Thursday to Sunday.

This club could have a strong future based on the performances our younger St Clarets members showed at the ABCs which is great to see.

A massive thank you to the players who participated over the weekend and the parents who supported us too. We were represented at every age group from the U8s, U10s, U11s, U13s, U15s, U17 boys and U18 ladies.

Get well soon to Enda who represented our U11s last week but unfortunately broke his finger during a game and had to go to hospital. Having only had the bare 11 players we were reduced to 10 so Lucio helped out to make up the numbers, despite being injured himself from training the week before. Well done.

We didn't come away with any silverware this year but each team performed and progressed well in each of their respective competitions.

A big thank you to the coaches who have helped out over the year and the effort they put into last weekend.

U8s/U10s: Tadhg Lee, Liam Dudley Healy, Barry Wallace and Paddy Donaghy
U11s: Barry Wallace, Gerry & Colleen Lynott and Dudley
U13s: Mick Shepherd and Gerry & Colleen Lynott

July 16th 2018

Club Notes

The U6s took part in a blitz hosted by Tara recently and put in some cracking performances. Luke O'Loughlin shone.



The U8s and U10 also participated on the day and put in some impressive performances.



On Sunday 1st July our under 8s and 10s made the traffic laden journey south of the river to take part in the Donncha O Donovan Family Day hosted by Round Towers. Well done to u10 goalkeeper Joe Wyse who have an exhibition of excellent goalkeeping and was awarded player of the tournament. The fact that we were one of only two clubs that travelled to support this day highlights how lucky we are to have players so eager to play and parents so readily available to transport them to matches, this is greatly appreciated. Our under 8s and 10s participate at the ABCs on Friday 13th July at 3pm.



On Saturday 30th June under 11s performed very strongly at their blitz at Northwick Park. Huge thanks to Paul And Barry for looking after the team. A reminder that the under 11s play in the ABCs on Saturday 14th July.

The U15s have been going strongly recently. Last month they faced Thomas McCurtains in a tight encounter in Goodmayes but lost out by two points.
They then faced Thomas McCurtains again a few weeks later in the league final but agonisingly lost by the narrowest of margins after McCurtains scored a last minute winner. St Claret's 4-11 Thomas McCurtains 7-03.
Well done to the team on reaching the semi final and representing the club so well.



The U15s finally got the better of Thomas McCurtains when they won the championship semi final on Tuesday night! Fantastic achievement and well done. News on the final date and time will be released soon. It'll be great if as many club members as possible can get out to support the team. Also, well done to the U13 players who made the step up and helped out the U15s.



Our young ladies' team has also been busy having played a challenge match against TCG in Greenford. Thanks to TCG for putting a team together at short notice.
They also played Parnell's in a double header last week. They won one game and lost the other. They donned their new kit for the first time and the girls are over the moon.

Club Notes

This Saturday 30th October our 3rd Annual Youth Day takes place. As mentioned before this has proven to be a very enjoyable day and is a great chance for the whole club to get together.

The forecast for the day is good so there's no excuses but to get down and enjoy the day!

County Board Draw

The county draw runs from October to September and so it's that time of year when the £120 payment for entry for the year is due again. We had a brilliant year this year in the draw with several winners over the last year.

The club is compelled to sell 20 per year and so we are relying on and hoping for your support again this year.

Payment can be by contacting Marie Hession.

Thanks for your support down the years, congrats to all those who had a win this year and the best of luck to you all for the year ahead.

Youth Update

Last Saturday our under 6s, 8s and 10s took part in the annual James O Brien tournament hosted by St Kiernans at Hendon Rugby Club. All of our young boys and girls performed tremendously, with lots of great football played throughout the day. Our under 10s brought home a second piece of silverware from successive blitzes by claiming the shield competition. Following two wins and two defeats in the group stages, the boys narrowly missed out on second place in the group and a place in the cup semi final.

Nevertheless, third place ensured a strong seeding for the shield semi final and a very strong finish against St Kiernans in a game that was level for long periods (2-04 to 0-02) resulted in a place in the final against Parnells which we duly won on a score line of 1-07 to 0-04.

Well done to Ollie McCarthy. Matthew Keane, Daniel Greene, Tom Keane, Niall Wallace, Freddie Bond, Finn Murphy and Tadhg O Looney who did the business so impressively.

September 17th 2017

This is a great achievement for the girls and they battled long and hard throughout every game to put up some fantastic displays of football. We would like to thank all the parents for their support and a very big thank you to Tara's GFC for a fantastic tournament and wonderful hospitality on the day.

Also on Saturday our U16 boys and U16 girls took to the field and worked tirelessly to put up some fantastic displays of football. Finally on Sunday, it was our U14 boys turn who played their hearts out only to be defeated by St Kiernans in the cup semi-final. A big well done to all our players who participated and showed some true club commitment, we appreciate your efforts and we are all very proud of you!

We would like to say a big thank you to all the club mentors for the all the hard work they put in over the weekend and to all the parents & grandparents that turned out to support. We would also like to say thank you to some of the senior team lads that came out to support us over weekend it was very much appreciated.

Club notes

On Saturday the club held its second Annual Youth day down at Kingshill Avenue. The day started with heavy showers and black skies and basically would have been a day when most would have dived back under the duvet covers but in true St Claret's spirit we proceeded with the day's events and as if like magic the day progressed into a fantastic sunny day. We would like to thank each and every man, woman and child that ventured out and joined us for a truly fantastic fun packed family day and took the time out to bring buns and cakes and take part in all the games.

Our mums and girls took to the field first, where at half time the mums were ahead by 3 points, the girls came through at the end, captained by Chloe Enright and won by 1 point to take possession of the Chloe Buckley Cup for the second year running. Mams of the match awards were presented to: Nicola Donaghy and Claire Delaney, well done ladies the secret training paid off!

This game was followed by a fantastic display of football from our U8 and U10 teams who showed to the club the future is bright with this group of young boys and girls coming through.

The day finished with the lads and Dads match, where the ole fellas held their own for a while but youth and fresh legs won through at the end. Dillon Buckley was presented with the Denis McCarthy Cup for the second year in row and the Dads are in training already for next year. It was great to see some old Claret's stalwarts in action and great to see some of the old magic is still there if only in short supply. Men of the match were Paul Myers and Dermot Wallace who showed they've still got what it takes.

We would like to thank all the committee members who were onsite from early to help set up. We would also like to pay special thanks to Paul Myers and his assistant Aaron, who were there early to open gates and help set up in the rain and were the last men out at the end of the day.

We would like to make a special mention to Michael O Shea who was celebrating his 16th birthday on Saturday but still took the time out to take part in the day.

Once again thanks to everyone that turned up on the day and made the day so successful. To those of you that couldn't make it, for different reasons, you missed a very special day.

At the end of the day we retired to the Ye Olde Crowne on the Uxbridge Road to watch the All-Ireland. We would like to thank Gillian for her hospitality and a great evening. Maybe not so great for our Mayo members of the club.

This Saturday our Under 10s head up to Tottenhall for a blitz. 11.30am start.

Club notes

The Youth in the club have had a fantastic weekend of Gaelic football, the attitude and sportsmanship from all our players was fantastic and we are all very proud of them. They all wore the green and white colours with pride and represented the club in good spirits, everyone of them is a great credit to the club. Across the weekend parents came in their numbers to support their children and the club, prepared for whatever the weather was going to throw at them, we are extremely grateful for all your support.

Day 1

St Clarets participation in this year's ABCs began on Friday morning but not in our renowned green and white hoops. Instead, 8 of our young players donned navy blue jerseys as they backboned the Douay Martyrs side who finished 3rd in the Secondary school's competition. Having topped their group with 3 wins and a draw, the side captained by our own Liam Hession, narrowly lost a tense semi-final before bouncing back to win the 3rd place play-off. Along with their captain, our own Joseph Murphy, Finley Richardson, Darragh Tierney, Aaron Myers, Harvey Monaghan, Patrick Woulfe and Nathan Kiernan all excelled in their school's strong performance. Well done also to Kian and Thomas O'Halloran and Stefano Biondi who performed impressively for their school, Cardinal Wiseman.

That afternoon, our newly formed under 8s performed exceptionally in their six games. An opening draw was followed by four successive victories before concluding with a narrow one-point defeat, a fantastic performance in our first ABC at this age group. Our under 8 squad was as follows: Niall Wallace (captain), Fiontan Lawlor, Sarah Batt, Jamie Batt, Harry Appelbe, Sean O Halloran, Axel Gil, Elsa Gil, Ben Ahuja, Charlie McCarthy, Tadhg Donaghy and Jack Keane.

Likewise our under 10s had an excellent afternoon. It was also these players first experience of the ABC tournament and with three victories from five matches it proved to be a memorable one. With some superb scores taken and excellent football played, these young men did the club proud with their strong showing. Our under 10 squad was as follows: Ollie McCarthy, Callum Robinson, Matthew Keane, Daniel Greene, Paddy Gorman, DJ McNicholas, Finn Murphy, Daniel Keys and Brian Wellard.
The management, Tadhg Lee, Liam Healy and Ryan O'Connell wish to thank all parents not only for their support and assistance on the day, but for ensuring that all players were available on the day and that we lined out with our full squad.




Day 2

On Day 2 our U16s took to the field in the morning. Although the results on the field weren't always in our favour everyone of the lads played their hearts out and displayed some fantastic talent. This is a very young U16s team so all we can say is the future is bright and we look forward to next year. Players were: Milo McNulty, Michael Myers, Charlie Nicholson, James Ford, Liam McNulty, Oisin Murphy, Connor Bowler, Harry O Leary, Darragh Tierney, Alvin Maher, Aaron Myers (superstar Goalie) and Liam Hession.

In the afternoon our fabulous girls team took to the field and we really mean fabulous. These 9 girls have gone from strength to strength and although the games were fiercely competitive the girls gave as good as they got. We played 4 games, winning 1 and very narrowly losing 2 other games. Players were: Chloe Enright (Capt), Leona Enright, Lily McNulty, Ciara Hession, Jemma McNulty, Sabrina Reddin, Megan Jarrett, Kiera Hedger and Molly Richardson.




Day 3

On Day 3 our U14s took to the field. Our first challenge of the day was to put up the gazebo as the rain started to fall and the wind gathered speed but we did it with some great help from parents. The lads played 3 group games, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 1 which resulted in us going through to the cup quarter finals. Unfortunately, we lost to the Tara in the quarter final and our day came to an end. Our U14s are a great bunch of lads and we have some fantastic skill and talent amongst the team but unfortunately we weren't up the mark to progress any further on the day. Players were: Joe Murphy, Oisin Murphy (Capt), Cormac Sibley, Aaron Myers, Liam McNulty, Liam Hession, Joey Holden, Syzmek Reddin, Patrick Woulfe, Kian O'Halloran, Sean Alexander, Joseph Hedger, Finlay Richardson, Jack Do Rosario, Thomas Do Rosario and Callum Shevlin.

July 4th 2016

Club notes

Unfortunately, we were defeated by Thomas McCurtains on Sunday in the U14 Championship semi-final. The lads played a brilliant second half but left it a little bit too late to make the comeback. We'll look forward to the ABCs this weekend and hopefully we'll get some good results. Thank you to all the players and parents who made the effort to get to this match.


St Clarets: The club's first ever Under 8s team, along with coach Tadhg Lee

On Saturday our under 8s and under 10s teams took part in the Conrad Ryan blitz hosted by Parnells at Northwick Park. Both sides performed well in each of their 4 games earning some impressive victories and the blitz served as excellent preparation for next week's ABC competition. Huge thanks to all parents for their support and assistance on the day. A reminder that the under 8s and under 10s ABC competition takes place on Friday.

Club notes

Firstly, we would like to congratulate 3 of our U14 players for being selected to represent London at the Feile competition in Ireland this coming weekend. Oisin Murphy and Cormac Sibley have been selected to play in the U14 boys London team and Lily McNulty has been selected to play in the U14 girls London Team. This is a massive achievement for these young players and everyone in the club is very proud of them, we wish them the best of luck in their trip to Ireland.

Our U14s took to the field last Tuesday evening in Greenford and had a great win over TCG. The U14s have now played all their league games and have only been defeated once, we look forward to the games coming up in the next few weeks, it'll be a busy few weeks.

Our U16s returned to the field on Friday night to play Parnells in Northwick Park. This was the first game after the break for exams and although we were defeated by Parnells it was great to get the lads out playing again.

On Sunday our girls took to the field for the first time this year to take part in the girls Go Games in Greenford sponsored by Vince McCarthy (TCG). After a long wait to get going the girls played 2 great games, we narrowly lost to TCG and Tara were a bit too strong for us, but this didn't put our girls off and they played throughout with determination and battled through to defend to the bitter end. They are a great credit to the club.

We would like to thank all the parents for their support over the last week, it's been a busy week and a number of parents are on road covering a number of age groups and helping out with lifts, all your help and support is greatly appreciated.

Reminder that the ABC competition will be taking place on 8/9/10 July. Our U8s and U10s will be participating on Friday 8th, Girls and U16s on Sat 9th and U14s on Sun 10th, it's sure to be a great weekend.

We are currently searching for an Under 10s manager for the upcoming season so if you are interested, or are aware of anyone who may be, please get in touch with us regarding the position.

Club notes

We are seeking a manager for our under 10s for 2016. We have a good crop of players at this age group that have been training diligently with Martin, Marie and Denis for the past couple of years and are raring to go and to develop their skills further. With the aforementioned mentors already looking after the under 16s, under 14s and the girls team, it is of crucial importance for the underage development of the club (that has served the senior team so well in recent seasons) that we acquire new underage mentors for this year so that all age groups are provided for sufficiently.

Please contact a committee member if you are interested or alternatively attend our AGM which takes place on Sunday 31st January, 3.30pm in The Brook House, Kingshill Avenue, Hayes.

January 14th 2016

St Clarets Youth Day and Presentation Evening

A very big thank you to all Committee members, Parents and Players that worked so hard to make Saturday a fantastic day. We were blessed with the weather, we were blessed with homemade cakes, buns and apple pies and we were blessed with some fantastic displays of Gaelic football. It was great to see so many mums getting stuck in at the Girls vs Mums game and it was even better to see many of our club veterans taking to the field in the Dad's game, proving that they've still got what it takes.

We would like to extend our thanks to Gillian at Ye Olde Crowne for the lovely hospitality received when we retired for the day, it was really appreciated and it was amazing to see that there was still life left in the batteries for some jigging about on the dance floor.

Keep an eye out on the St Clarets website and facebook page for some photos from the day. If any parents have any more pictures feel free to send them in. Thanks again and we'll be in contact in new year.

U12s ‐ Parnells Conrad Ryan Day
Congratulation to our U12s team who won the Gerry Somers Memorial Shield at the Parnells tournament on Sat 19th Sept. After playing 3 group games we went through to a semi-final against TCG, which thankfully we won. We then progressed to a final against Parnells which ended up going right down to the wire. With 2 points down and only minutes left in the game the lads battled through until we were finally awarded with a last minute free kick which our captain, Liam Hession, buried in the back of the net to secure a 1 point win.
This was a fantastic win for the club and a great reward to the lads for all their hard work throughout the day. A big thank you to all the parents for their efforts and support from the side line, it was a long day but the win and celebrations at the end made it all worth while. We would like to extend our thanks to the Parnells for a great game in the final and for a great tournament, special thanks to Tony Griffin, Colin Corrigan and Irene Sheridan for their help on the day.

This is a massive achievement for the U12s, they played some fantastic football in the sweltering heat and were a great credit to the club. We will look forward to seeing these young lads playing for the club in years to come. A special mention to Cormac Sibley who also celebrated his 12th birthday on Saturday, we admire his commitment to his team mates, well done Cormac. A massive thank you to all the parents and family that attended the day, your support on the side line is second to none and got us over the line in some very tense matches.

By this time in the day the weather had taken a turn for the worst but the lads soldiered through and clinched a victory. The final was played in driving rain against Sean McDermotts from Manchester and once again it was the lads second half performance that won through leaving the supporters hanging on until the last minutes to win by 1pt.

This Sunday 14th June, the Buckley family are taking part in a charity walk in memory of Chloe, who was only 6 years old when taken from us.

Note from Treasurer

I'm afraid it's that time of year again and I need to gather a bit of interest for this year's London County Board draw (Oct 2014 ‐ Sept 2015).

Just to let you know that the club was quite successful in having a few draw winners last year they were:

June 2014 Prize money £1,000 ticket no. 482 - Colm Lynott
Feb 2013 Prize money £100 ticket no. 497 - Eamon Colleran
Jan 2014 Prize money £250 ticket no. 482 - Colm Lynott
Dec 2013 Prize money £1,000 ticket no. 485 - Martin Hession
Oct 2013 Prize money £250 club draw
Sept 2013 Prize money £250 club draw

The draw for 2014/15 will commence from October onwards and it will be the usual amount of £120 for the year. The club will have to pay up for 20 tickets, regardless, so again like last year the more people we get to take a ticket the less a burden it is on the club's funds. If we sell more than 20 tickets then the club gets a certain amount back, so if you know of anyone else that may be interested in purchasing a ticket please let me know.

Can you please let me know by email to [email protected] whether you would be interested in purchasing a ticket this year so I can start to draw up the list.

Thank you all for your continued support and congratulations to those that have had a win/s, let's hope we get a few more this year.

Club notes

St Clarets Girls team took part in the Tara J French Girl's tournament on Saturday 13th Sept in Greenford. They won two out of their three group games to gain a place in the final of the cup versus Parnells. Oh what a final it was! Our girls, despite being a goal and a point down in the final minutes of the game, came back to score a goal and a point to level the game at full time, this sent the crowd on the side line delirious. The game went into extra-time and unfortunately we lost by one-point. Each and every girl played their hearts out for the team and battled for every ball, they were an absolute credit to not only the club and mentors but to their parents as well. We would like to thank each and everyone of them for their efforts today and big thank you to their parents for taking the day out to support their child. Don't worry girls our day will come!!
Players were: Kira Hedger (Capt), Leona Enright, Sabina Reddin, Lily McNulty, Tara Sheridan, Chloe Enright, Leah Higgins, Megan Jarratt and Ciara Hession.

ABC Games

It's been another super successful year for St Clarets at the ABC Games in Greenford. Here's a snapshot of how our teams got on.

St Clarets were represented at the All Britain Championships by our girl's team, who took part in the Ladies Football development day, also by our U12s, who played 6 games in total and narrowly lost the Plate Final for the second year in a row.

On Sunday our U14s took to the field and were also defeated in the Plate Final. A big thank you to all our players for your effort and sportsmanship on and off the field, you are great credit to the club.

Also a massive thank you to all our parents who took the time out to attend and support us at this event, which has now become a very important part of the Youth Gaelic calendar.

The St Clarets teams were: Girls ‐ Ciara Hession, Tara Sheridan, Leah Higgins, Leona Enright, Lily McNulty & Chloe Enright.

U14s ‐ Aaron Myers, Michael Myers, Charlie Nicholson, Oisin Murphy, Michael O'Shea, Jonathan Wickham, Joseph Deveureux, Niall Bradshaw, Alvin Maher, Kyle King, Liam Hession.


In the minor competition we were drawn in a group of six, losing our first game to Tir Chonaill Gaels, followed by four consecutive wins to finish second in the group and qualify for the semi-final.

In the semi-final, we played the winners of the other group and got through to the final to play Tir Chonaill Gaels again! The game was a draw at full-time and again after extra time and we proceeded to a three-penalty shoot out which we won 3-1 thanks to a fantastic save by Ryan O'Connell who also stepped up to follow Lorcan Comer and Jordan McGirr to score the decisive penalty.

Congratulations to our squad for the day:- Alfie McNulty (capt.), Shane Buckley, Ryan O'Connell, Lorcan Comer, Conor Devereux, Shane O'Hare, Joe Dyson, Aidan Bradshaw, Conor Bradshaw and Jordan McGirr.

Big thanks to all our supporters, including many of the U14 players and parents who stayed on to support us in the final.

ABC Games

Just a note about the ABC Games this weekend.

Here are the details:

3rd Annual All Britain Competitions (ABC)

The All Britain Competitions will be held this weekend Friday 11th of July to Sunday 13th of July at Tir Chonaill Gaels GAA Grounds, Greenford, London, UB6 0NZ.

Please remember that children must wear their mouth guards during their games and bring plenty of water to drink and sun cream for your children to ensure their safety at all times.

On Friday the 11th, Primary Schools Football will commence at 10:30am and U8 & U10 Football will commence at 3:00pm.

On Saturday the 12th, Ladies Football and U12 & U16 Boys Football will commence at approximately 11:00am.

On Sunday 13th, Hurling, Camogie and U14 & U18 Boys Football will commence at approximately 11:00am.

The finishing times on each day will be determined by the level of entries. We will endeavour, where possible, to produce the most time efficient fixture list for clubs to allow for minimum waiting times between games.

World Record Attempt - Friday 11th July - 16:45 - 20.30.

On Friday 11th July at 16.45pm -20.30pm an attempt will be made to break the world record for the most amount of players in a Gaelic Football match in conjunction with the ABC's . Upon arrival players will sign their name beside a number, and collect a ticket with that number on it. They will then filter onto the pitch for a ten minute participation, before being substituted, registering their time in and out.

We would request all of our club members and friends to make an effort and come along to TCG Club in Greenford UB6 0NZ on Friday evening and be part of a unique opportunity at The Guinness World Record attempt. Breaking this record would be a huge statement for the Irish community in Britain and abroad so please come along support it and and be a part of it. Thanks a million for your continued support.

Good luck to all the St Clarets players taking part and we hope the club can enjoy as much success on the field as it did last year.
