CLANNA GAEL WIN THE TREACY STAUNTON 7-A-SIDE TOURNAMENT
This was the third running of the Treacy Staunton Junior 7-A-Side Tournament which took place last Saturday the 19th August. The tournament commemorates the memory of Tracey Staunton from Kilnamanagh, an ex-Clanna Gael Fontenoy player. She was aged 20 when she was tragically killed by a drunken hit and run driver in America on 5th December 2002. The weather did nobody any favours on the day but five teams still turned up to battle it out, with Clanna Gael ‘A’ team taking the Cup which was run on a round-robin league basis. The Shield was a tighter affair and it came down to Cuala from Dalkey and St. Anne’s of Tallaght, with Cuala narrowly taking victory on points. There were also two players of the Tournament– Shauna O’Neill of Clanna Gael Fontenoy winning in the Cup Section and Sinead Deegan of St. Anne’s in the Shield. A great day was had by all despite the rain and the celebrations at Clanna Gael went on well into the night. |
