Club Notes - 201608
On Friday night next, September 2nd at 8:15 pm in Parnell Park, our senior team will play in the Dublin Ladies Senior Championship final for the fourth time in five years. This year's final is a repeat of last year when we played St. Brigid’s. Members will no doubt be aware that our ladies managed to hang on to win in a very tough encounter and there’s no doubt that St. Brigid’s will be looking for revenge following last year’s defeat. Best of luck to team captain Sarah Brophy, the rest of the panel and the management on Friday night. Looking forward to seeing all club members in Parnell Park on Friday night.
Buses to Senior Championship Final
The buses to the Dublin Ladies Senior Championship final have been booked and all are almost full. Thanks to Paul Ryan and Colette O’Keefe for organising. Any last minute requests should be sent to Paul or Colette and every effort will be made to find you a seat, but please do get in contact ASAP to avoid disappointment.
Facilities co-ordinator
We are looking for a volunteer to help out with the “Facilities co-ordinator” role. Anybody interested in helping in this non-executive position should send a mail to chairman@foxcabgaa.ie.
LIDL Cheque Presentation
Members will remember that we recently won €1000 from LIDL. The official cheque presentation is happening this Wednesday night in Kilbogget at 7 pm and members are welcome to come along.
Cúl Camp
Our second Cúl camp of the summer concluded on Friday afternoon with all recipients receiving their certificates, posters and goody bags from our own Sinead Goldrick as well as Dublin men's senior player, Paul Mannion. Similar to the June camp, the feedback from participants and parents was of the highest order. Well done to Jane O' Connell Bell and her hard working team for another fantastic week. A more detailed report on the activities from both camps is available here.
Fundraising table quiz
The senior team would like to thank all members who attended the very successful Table Quiz on Thursday night. A great night's entertainment was had by all. Thanks to The Grange Pub for hosting the event and particular thanks to all the helpers from the G4M team on the night.
Dublin U17 Development Squad
Congrats to Rachel Mahon, Sophie Merrigan and Sarah Currivan who were on the Dublin U17 Development Squad that took part in a national blitz in Naomh Mearnog last Tuesday. Both players had an outstanding tournament. Sophie and Sarah names have been added to our ever increasing county representatives page.
Buses to senior final
Final reminder to all lead mentors that final numbers, and payment, for seats on buses to the County Final on September 2nd should be returned to Paul Ryan or Colette O' Keefe by this Thursday, August 25th.
Underage Championship
Best of luck to all underage teams who start their championships in the coming week. Fixtures will be sent out on Friday evening.
Free physiotherapy assessments
Senior team player Ciara Ní Mhurchadh has almost completed her studies to become a physiotherapist. As part of her intern program, Ciara is currently working in Sports Med Ireland on Kildare Street. During her internship, Ciara is required to treat patients - without pay, so if any members have any niggles or injuries that could benefit from a review by a physiotherapist, or just want a gym program devised, feel free to contact Ciara on 086 2387666 and she'll make arrangements for you to see her in 32 Kildare Street.
Fund Raising Table Quiz
Running a GAA team is an expensive business, but running a successful GAA team is even more expensive. As members are no doubt aware, our senior team have reached the championship final again this year and to help offset some of the expenses, a fundraising table quiz will be held in The Grange Pub on Thursday, August 18th @ 8:15 pm. The senior players will be there on the night so this is a great opportunity for members to come along and wish the ladies all the best as they strive to retain the championship title. A table of 4 costs 40 euros and a great night's fun is assured! If you are unable to attend on the night but would like to contribute, there is an option to do so via our web site.
Buses to Senior Championship Final
The senior championship final has been scheduled for Friday, September 2nd at 8:15 pm in Parnell Park and Paul Ryan and Colette O'Keefe have kindly volunteered to organise buses to this game.

All teams have been asked to confirm numbers by August 25th so if you don't hear about this in the coming days, please do ask your team manager about this!

Thanks also to those who helped out on the night.

GAA World Games Foxrock Cabinteely v's Europe Ladies GAA
Earlier this evening (Sunday) in Kilbogget, Foxrock Cabinteely took on the Europe Ladies GAA team who will be playing in the GAA World Games later this week. This was the last chance for the Europe team to iron out any kinks before the competition begins. 2 fantastic games of football were played between 4 very determined teams and in the end, the European Ladies came out victorious in both games. We wish them the very best of luck in the week ahead!
