Last Thursday our seniors suffered a heavy defeat in the McArdle Cup semi final to Dulwich Harps, losing 4-12 to 0-5. We just underperformed against a strong Dulwich team on the night.
The team was: Keith O'Neill, Charlie O'Donnell, Padraig Donegan, Daniel O'Connell, Ronan Gaughan, Cathal Hughes, Lawrence Weir, Jack Lavelle, Paddy Donaghy, Conor Tynan, Shane Buckley, Paul Keenan, Gary Wynne, Stephen Curley, Kyle McGovern.

We then faced Tir Chonaill Gaels in the Malarkey Cup quarter final on Saturday. It was a more encouraging performance after Thursday's loss despite fielding a depleted team with some of the lads carrying injuries. We lost out in the end 1-11 to 0-9.
The team was: Keith O'Neill, Charlie O'Donnell, Lawrence Weir, Conor Healy, Ronan Gaughan, Luke Kelly, David Callanan, Jack Lavelle, Paddy Donaghy, Shane Treanor, Padraig Donegan, Peter Donaghy, Matthew Healy, Jake Lamport, Conor Tynan.

Well done to Jake Lamport who made his debut for St Claret's.
The Junior Championship draw was made last week. We open up our Championship campaign the weekend of 4th/5th August against Naomh Padraig. Also in our group is Wandsworth Gaels and Dulwich Harps. These games take place the weekends of the 18th August and 1st September.
It is important these dates are kept free by all players.
Training continues on Tuesday and Thursday opposite Hayes Rugby Club, Kingshill Avenue, UB4 8BZ.
There is no match this week or this weekend due to the bank holiday weekend. The next fixture will be the opening round of Division 2. Date and time TBC.
YOUTH
Last Tuesday our U15 boys defeated TCG in the league.
Under 6s, 8s and 10s all competed and performed superbly in beautiful conditions on Sunday at Parnells' blitz at Harrow Rugby Club. At the same time our under 13s were playing excellent football at the under 13s blitz at Greenford where they won 3 out of the 4 games. The day before our under 11s performed strongly also at the under 11s blitz hosted by Gael London, so a very busy weekend indeed on the underage front. As ever a huge thank you to parents and players for making the effort to transport the players and for their encouraging support on the sideline.
Membership is now also due.
