Thomas McCurtains club notes

April 08, 2019

The Club hosted a hugely successful quiz night last Friday with 22 tables entering. A huge thanks to O'Neill's, Leytonstone for hosting the event. 

On the pitch the Ladies took part in the Mary Feehan Cup in Greenford on Saturday. They played Holloway Gaels, Round Towers, Kingdom Kerry Gaels and Tir Chonaill Gaels in the Group, winning all four and qualifying for the Final setting up a re-match with KKG in the Final. A tight game with only the minimum separating the sides at the end McCurtains were unlucky to be on the wrong side of the scoreline.

Training continues as usual for all teams.

Next weekend our Hurlers are out in action on Saturday in Greenford in their first League game of 2019. 

History & Centenary

In preparation for our upcoming centenary in 2020 the club has formed a History and Centenary Sub Committee. The aim of this committee is to investigate the long and illustrious history of Thomas McCurtains GAA Club, document it and form a comprehensive collection of documents detailing the Club’s history.  If anyone would like to join the committee please contact Richard Ellis on 07803 519 394

We are reaching out to past members. We would love to hear your memories and any interesting stories you have. If you have any photos, match programmes, old jerseys or any other memorabilia or a story to tell please contact Richard Ellis at [email protected] . Any information would be great to hear.
