Under 21 championship
St. Josephs/Barrowhouse vs Graiguecullen
Friday Sept. 10th @6.45 in Kellyville
Juniors suffer defeat in semi-final.
Despite a determined and brave effort Barrowhouse came up short against a strong and well organised Ballyfin outfit. Barrowhouse got off to a good start and a well worked point by Mark O'Donoghue had us a point up inside the first five minutes. Ballyfin replied with two points from frees to take the lead but a goal by Emmet Malone put Barrowhouse two points up again. Ballyfin battled back and scored three points before the break to lead by a point at half time. The crucial score of the game came early in the second half when almost from the throw in Ballyfin scored a goal. From there to the end try as they might Barrowhouse could not close the gap and eventually lost on a score of Ballyfin 1-9 Barrowhouse 1-4.
Juniors train in new field.
Friday August 27th 2010 is a day that will go down in Barrowhouse GAA club history as the first official outing on our new grounds. Due to preparations for the field day in Langton's field it was decided to move training to the new grounds.
The pitches were in excellent condition and although we only had temporary posts all agreed that a good session was had. Indeed all of the spectators who turned up, for some it was their first time in the new field, were hugely impressed by the facilities that have been developed.
We now hope to dismantle the posts in the old field and move them down to the new grounds within the next month. We also plan to have temporary dressingrooms in place by mid September.
Hopefully we will have many successful days over the coming years in the new facility.
2010 Field day
Barrowhouse GAA would like to thank all those who supported the annual field day on Sunday last. The fine weather ensured that we had a good turn out despite other attractions. Well done to all who organised and many thanks to all the helpers.
Juniors qualify for semi final.
Barrowhouse Junior A team qualified for the semi final of the championship last Tuesday with a hard fought win over Portarlington. A tight game saw the teams level on many ocasions and indeed were tied at the break 0-5 each. The vital score came midway into the second half when Mark "Sparks" O Donoghue cleaverly flicked the ball to the net. This put a goal between the sides. An injury time score from Darren O'Keefe sealed the win on a scoreline of 1-8 to 0-7.
Barrowhouse will now play Ballyfin in the semi final which is fixed for Tuesday 31st August @ 7pm in Vicarstown.
Come out and support the lads!!
New groundskeeper appointed
Barrowhouse GAA are pleased to announce that in conjunction with FAS we have been able to appoint a new groundskeeper for our recently developed grounds. Mike Langton has started work on the grounds in mid August. Already we are seeing the benefit of having a regular maintainance worker on site as the grounds are looking very well. Best of luck to Mike in his new role.
