Dear Members , friends and supporters.

The response to our recycling campaign has been way above our wildest expectations, and for that we are truly thankful for your support.

Unfortunately the market for plastic has fell away and we are unable to take your plastics going forward.
We are business as usual on cans.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Fundraising Committee.

The post Parking Update 17th September 2021 appeared first on ODwyers GAA Club.

Following a discussion with the Club Executive Committee, a decision has been made regarding the re-opening of parking facilities within Bremore park. As you are aware our club has grown from strength to strength over the last number of years and we have ever-growing numbers in our Juvenile sections.

With this in mind, the Club Executive has made the decision that effective from 17th September

• No parking is permitted in the Club on Saturday until 1 pm – this is in order to facilitate the safe entry and exit access to the Club for OgDwyers Nursery and younger teams
• No parking will be permitted in the parking spots at the front of the club area – Parking is only available behind the Cardy Rock goal or on the training strip – Remedial work will be conducted in the coming weeks

The decision is made to ensure that we have a safe club taking into consideration the potential risks and Health & Safety.

Further information club car parking is available here: https://odwyersgaa.com/parking/

I would like to thank all members and friends for their cooperation with this matter.

Yours in Sport

Liam Howley

Youth Teams Update

• U16 Boys (Born 2005/6): 

Mixed fortunes for our u16s Boys this week.On Tuesday night we visited St Catherines park for a Division 6 football match against Castleknock. Castleknock fielded a very strong team and O’Dwyers were on the back foot from the start. Some fine passages of play from O’Dwyers at times but it was not enough on the night. Casteknock with a convincing win. Credit to our young players they kept going until the final whistle, showing great character.

On Saturday afternoon the hurlers made the long trip to Naomh Olaf’s. Coaches spoke to the players before the game about playing with confidence in their own ability. They did exactly that and we came home convincing winners. 

New players are very welcome, for further details on practice times and what you need to get started call, WhatsApp or SMS  Paul on 087 2077181

• U18 Boys (Born 2004/5): We had our 1st competitive football game this morning, following on from our false start on Wed evening. We travelled to Craobh Chiarains who we knew would be tough from our previous encounters. We started well in the 1st 5 mins getting a couple of good early scores but our 1st quarter hoo doo struck again and we shifted 2 early goals. We battled to get back into the game, but we were just a bit of the pace of the game this morning and never really kicked on from early good start. We eventually lost out in the end to a good Craobh Chiarain side. Back to basics for the lads and to get back to winning ways

•  Next up for the lads this week is Wed Hurling at home vs Craobh  Chiarain and Sun away vs Erin’s Isle

Sean Rogers playing with energy in an unfamiliar midfield position. Cian Bolger-Hayes showing his lockdown practice, scoring 4 out of the 5 frees he took.

Youth Teams Update

• U14 boys (Born 2007):

Our U14s footballers took to the field for their first league game this afternoon and put in a great performance to defeat Naomh Fionnbarra.

We started well and put some big scores on the board early on to set ourselves up. We struggled a bit in the 2nd quarter as Finbarrs came back at us but we went at half time well in control.

A big performance straight after halftime left us in control of the match, and despite some tired bodies and minds in the last quarter we finished out winning 5-5 to 0-9.

Mentions today go to Cathal, who was steady in nets and kept a clean well and we’re helped by Matthew and Julian who  kept the scoreboard ticking over at vital periods in the match.

Sean L was our captain today and he let no one down with his tackling out of possession and energy with the ball going forward.

It was a very tough call today as everyone of our players put a shift in but between John and Leon they can be happy with their performances and their POTM awards.

A couple of things really helped our team today like our passing and our support play, something we have worked a lot on in training, and also our composure in front of goal, and it was brilliant to see the lads put this into action.

Last word goes to Tadgh, Dillon, Eoin and Cuan who have put their extra training into practice and gave us a big boost when they were on the field with us today.

Lots to work on as usual but lots of positives going forward nonetheless. A good day.

              Thanks Mentors ?

• U16 Boys (Born 2005/6): 

On a wet and humid Thursday evening our U16 hurlers got our division  6a league campaign under way when we welcomed Cuala to Bells pitch in Balbriggan. A fantastic game of hurling was played out and enjoyed by parents and passers by alike. They were treated to a free flowing high scoring game of hurling with O’Dwyers coming out on top with a hard fought and well deserved victory on a scoreline of O’Dwyers 7-11 Cuala 6-04 

U16 Football
Unfortunately Raheny had to concede our Div9 football match on Saturday 26th. We included all players in the panel to play against St James Gaels. In an energetic game O’Dwyers found themselves 2 points down at half time. At the water break in the 2nd half we were 4 points down. Some player-specific instructions, a change to our formation and renewed competitiveness from the O’Dwyers players saw us up by 3 points with only seconds left in the game. With nothing left on the referee’s watch St James Gaels won a free in front of our goal. The lads stood on the line and the free was struck low, our keeper, Jamie Murray dived low and to his right and palmed the ball around the post. The referee blew the final whistle. Final score; O’Dwyers 3-13 St James Gaels 4-7.

• U18 Boys (Born 2004/5): It was the start to competitive hurling games this morning for our Minor Hurlers as they played in their first league game  away against Na Fianna with  a number of players injured & unavailable we travelled light on players. However the lads did well and competed very strongly in 2nd and last Quarters we shifted a couple of fortuitous goals which ended up giving Na Fianna the win. There will be plenty more games for the hurlers to get touch back as we continue to build towards Championship 

Next up for the lads this week is Wed Football at home vs St Peters and Sun away vs Craobh Chiarain
