Vancouver Éire Óg GAA Club

Championship is in full swing for us, with some matches from Round 1 and Round 2 having already being played.

Our Senior Men's first game vs ISSC was postponed to a later date, so they started their campaign with a Round 2 match vs St Finnians. The lads kicked of their season with a great win. Despite the setback of an early goal to add to the injury and availability absences our team bounced back and with the aid of three first half goals, set a solid platform for the win. We wish Eoghan Mc Grath Butler a speedy recovery from the knee injury he got at the throw in for the second half.
Scorers:
Mikey Higgins 2-8 (three x 2 pointers)
Cathal Corrigan 0-6
Niall Quinn 1-1
Fintan O Shea 1-0
Eoghan Mc Grath Butler 0-2
Sean Mac Uildhinn 0-2
Stephen Mc Greal 0-2
Nick Sheehan 0-1

The Senior Ladies faced ISSC in their first game. The match was close right to the end with the girls scoring some great goals. Unfortunately ISSC scored a couple of points in the last few minutes to see it out.
The girls bounced back in round 2 against St Finnians. The girls started strong and never let up, scoring 6 goals, and really pulling away in the second half. The girls now have a break until the end of June.

Our Intermediate Men were out last week after a Bye week in round 1. They kicked their season off against St Finnains. The match was very tight throughout but unfortunately the lads couldn't find the back of the net to get over the line, with goals bring the difference in the game. The lads lost out by a single point. No doubt they will back stronger in the next game!

Thank you to our sponsors for the season who make it possible for us to play for the year 🫡
