Training Times Week 6 Fixtures Week 6 GPA Scholarships Dates for your Diary A chairde, Some mixed results this week but good to see that the Ladies Footballer s Senior side were unlucky to be denied victory as they made the step up to Division 2. Well done to the Inter footballers who got off to a winning start against St.Pats (2-11 to 0-12). We are currently looking to attract new sponsors so please contact me if you know someone who might be interested in a copy of our proposal. All committees are always welcoming of new people to get involved in the admin and coaching within the clubs- give me a mail if interested in helping out! Go raibh maith agat, Gearóid (gaadev@tcd.ie)
