Fontenoy Factor! GPA Scholarships (LAST CHANCE) A Chairde, Congratulations to the Ladies Football 2 nd s who are now through to the League Semi-Finals after a big win over Inchicore C.F.E. yesterday in Terenure. This is the first year the club has fielded a second team and it s great to see the side progress to the Semi s in their debut season. The Camogie club have qualified for the Purcell weekend after an emphatic victory over L.I.T. in Limerick last Monday. They will now face D.C.U. in the New Year in a Shield/Cup qualifier. The Senior Hurlers lost out in their League Final despite a battling performance against a strong Carlow IT side. The team should take great heart from their displays thus far, ahead of the Ryan Cup campaign in the spring. The next week should see the launch of our new website which will hopefully improve all aspects of communications in the club and on next Friday tickets will go on sale for our 60 th Anniversary Gala Dinner which takes place on the 4 th of February next. (More info next week)
