Oct.29 – Opening day of the Advanced Camp for young players from Castleknock, St. Brigid’s, OPER and St. Peregrines. Day 1 in Russell Park, hears from Dublin hurler Eoghan O’Donnell, Laois’s John O’Loughlin, Dublin All-Ireland Ladies Footballer Hannah O’Neill and Dublin 5-in-a-row footballer Jonny Cooper.

Oct.30 – Day 2 of the Advanced Camp is in St. Peregrines with Sean Bugler, Evan Comerford, Kate Fitzgibbon and Stephen O’Shaughnessy providing some invaluable coaching.

Castleknock’s Ladies ‘A’ Footballers lose the Div.2 League Final 0-9 2-12 to Parnells in Somerton but the good news is that both finalists are promoted to Div.1 so congrats to players and management alike. 

Oct.31 – The Advanced Camp comes to a close in Somerton with the focus on hurling. Kilkenny goalkeeper David Herity gives a goalkeeping masterclass while Parnells GPO Collie Martin and Dublin Camogie star Emma O’Byrne provide outfield coaching.

Nov.02 – The CRR/Defib Course continues in the Clubhouse. Thanks to everyone for participating. No joy for the U-21 Footballers in the ‘B’ Championship Preliminary Round as they go down by 1-8 1-14 to St. Vincent’s. The U-16 footballers lose the Shield Semi-Final to Naomh Olaf. In the U-12 Hurling League Castleknock lost in Div.2 to Sylvesters, the Div.6 team lost to Scoil Ui Chonaill and the Div.10 team beat St. Judes.

Nov.03 – A huge day for our three Minor Football teams playing in Championship Semi-Finals. The ‘A’ Championship team have a real battling victory over Ballyboden, 1-13 1-11, with late points from Cian Boyle and Ben Harding sealing a brilliant victory. Hopefully a repeat now of our last Minor Championship success in 2011.

Unfortunately, no luck for the ‘C’ Championship side beaten 0-13 4-15 by St. Peter’s in Garristown and a similar story for the ‘E’ Championship team beaten 1-9 3-6 by St. Pat’s, Palmerstown. Getting all three teams to Championship Semi-Finals represents a massive achievement for the Club and all the players, parents and mentors deserve enormous thanks for all the hard work involved.

The AHL9 hurlers complete their League campaign going down by 0-10 2-10 to Na Fianna. Castleknock finish fourth in Div.9.

Well done to the U-15 Camogie team on defeating Good Counsel to progress to the Div.2 Final.

Upcoming: The Juvenile Awards will be held in Westmanstown Conference Centre on Wednesday November 13 – U-8’s to U-11’s from 6.30-7.30pm and U-12’s to U-16’s 7.45-8.45pm. The Club’s AGM will be held on Monday, November 25 at 8pm in the Clubhouse in Somerton.
