Welcome to the latest edition of the Shamrock Scoop. School has just begun, and summer is almost over. Not to bring down all the parents/carers, but this is when those without kids head off on holidays for a fraction of the price we paid! But fear not, we’ve got some exciting updates to bring a ray of sunshine to your day.
A Quick Look Back…
Seniors Draw Against Wandsworth
CAPITAL CONCRETE SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GROUP B
31 Aug McGovern Park-Ruislip
North London Shamrocks 1-12 -0-15 Wandsworth Gaels
In their first outing against a physical Wandsworth team, the seniors started strong and controlled the first half, going into the break 5 points ahead. Extending their lead to 8 points early in the second half, the wind picked up, and Shamrocks struggled with kickouts, allowing Wandsworth to claw their way back into the game. After a few crucial breakdowns in attack and a questionable free awarded to Wandsworth, they managed to draw level with the last kick of the game.
Despite sharing a point, it felt more like a defeat given our position earlier in the match. A big response is now needed as we face TCG in the next game. Confidence is high that we can secure a positive result and stay in a strong position to top the group.
