On Friday 29th December we held the second Annual Nora Arthur Memorial Tournament at the club in which twelve teams of adult players, mentors and parents competed over the course of the afternoon for the memorial trophy named in honour of Nora.
The eponymous trophy was presented to the winning captain Mattias Mac Donncha (Tiz) on behalf of the winning Team 5 by Nora’s Dad, Neil.

THE FINAL AND THE OVERALL WINNERS
After 18 high-intensity and dramatic “group-stage” matches and two high-stakes semi finals, a tense and exciting final ensued between Team 12 and Team 5. Team 5 would eventually win the day by 4-0 with a second title in a row for young Cian O’Connor and a goal to boot! A worthy final for a brilliant day of sport and craic.
Not only that, but a whopping €2,900 (and still rising!) was raised for the very worthy cause of Oscar’s Kids. Well done to all involved. If you’d still like to donate, click here.
With apologies for the mediocre quality (!), some snaps from the day below.
