CHRISTMAS TREES

You have one job this weekend. It’s time for the Christmas tree and there’s only one place to go. The team behind #Support4Drummo will be up and running from 10am each of Saturday and Sunday with a great selection of trees at the end of Hyde Road as you turn into Dalkey. 

Happy smiling elves to help, really good quality trees at a tenner a foot with all moneys raised going to the Sean Drummond fund.

MAKING CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

This year's Cuala Christmas appeal is to provide presents that will make a real difference to women and children that are homeless in Dublin this festive season.


We are looking for a minimum 42 of our families to create packs for 42 families in need that we will deliver to them in the days before Christmas.

Examples of the packs might include

Children

  • A small clothing item like a pair of pj’s
  • A toy
  • A selection box
Adults
  • 1 Large Item such as a hoodie, coat, pair of pyjamas
  • 2 Small Items such as socks, underwear
  • Toiletries including shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, shaving foam
  • Goodies such as a selection box, tin of biscuits
First step is to register and then our team will be in touch.  This was very special last year and we know it can be again this time rouns.

U21's CROWNED CHAMPIONS

It was a game for the ages and a chapter in Cuala history as our U21 footballers were crowned Champions of Dublin at Abbotstown last Saturday.  It took extra time against a strong Na Fianna side but with ten players contributing to our 2-16 total it was a real team effort.

Read the report of the game here from the Dublin GAA site

U16’s CHARGE CONTINUES
 
Cuala's U16 B Hurling team play a shield final on Saturday at 2pm in the Iveagh Grounds. They came back from ten points down to beat St Vincent’s in last weekends SF.   

All support for the U16s as they pursue the dream is most welcome on Saturday. 

 
All our teams and players and parents would love to hear about their team.  I am but one pair of hands and I don't have the time to monitor fixtures and results across over 100 teams.  

If you have a story or a big game that you'd like to get a shout out for you can reach me best by email right here.

SEAN DRUMMOND FUNDRAISING

Con O'Callaghan handed over a cheque this week to Conor Mulally of the #Support for Drummo campaign.  It was for €15,000 representing the return on the auction of his 'five in a row' shirt.

There was a great story about the campaign and the ongoing need to keep raising money for Drummo which you can read right here.

The car wash scheduled for today has been postponed as the U16's who are organising it have the small matter of a County Shield Final to play.  Best of luck to the lads and the fundraisier for Zambia will take another shape shortly.
