Three out of three is a very good start for Mattie Kenny and his team. They had a two point victory over Laois last Sunday. They now play Galway next Sunday at Parnell Park at 2pm in the Walsh Cup semi-final. They will meet Galway at least twice more this year so it would be nice to put down a marker. The weather forecast is good for Sunday so hopefully a big crowd will turn up to support the team.
We will sell membership before the game from 1pm onwards. Each member will receive a 44 page booklet, a car sticker and an fodh biro. We no longer use membership cards. A draw will be held at half time and one lucky member will get a copy of Paul Rousse’s book ‘ The Hurlers’.
Gary Maguire and Shane Durkin, two great Dublin hurlers, who have won National League and Leinster medals, have announced their retirement from inter-county hurling. They have been wonderful servants of Dublin hurling and we wish them well in their retirement and we thank them for the many great days they have given us.
