Malmo Review

Ladies and mens teams last weekend joined forces with Copenhagen and played Malmo in a very friendly down in Malmo.Great day was had by all and it proved a fitting end to this years action.The ladies proved worthy opponents against a classy Malmo ladies outfit and the lads and Cph easily brushed aside the Malmo challenge.A great night was had by all !

Winter Training

In order we keep sharp and in condition over the winter period , from Nov 6 th on, Caz , our previous personal trainer, will take a bootcamp session in Slottskogen every Wednesday evening at 6pm.Meeting place will be the normal Belparc car park.This is open to all and its a great way to keep fit over the winter.we want to hit the ground running next year and we 'll be working out a ballwork and skills session when we organise an indoor hall in the New Year.

Send me a mail or text if u are attending next week so i can let Caz know of numbers .....

Hi Lads.
Can I just send you the link to the event website. Www.oslosantaskirun.com
If you guys run another Santa fundraising event of any kind we can post the photos up on all the websites and Facebook pages. Create a bit of off season banter. Ideally we are looking for a sponsor to agree to giving 5 or 10 euro to the fundraiser for each Santa that appears with a bee for battens logo in the picture.

Thanks for the help guys.

Donie.

GAA Mouthguard Information

PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW regarding mouthguards (gum shields) whoch must be worn by every player from January 2014.

Tony

Tom: Please notify referees as players may be sent off for not wearing same

Thank you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Do: Gach Rúnaí Contae

A chara,

As you are aware, since January 1st 2013, it has been mandatory for players in Grades up to and including Minor to use a mouthguard in all Football Games and Practice Football Sessions. (Riail 4.3, T.O. Part 2, 2012).  From January 1st 2014, it will be mandatory for all players to use a mouthguard.

The attached document has been compiled to assist GAA Clubs, players, parents, coaches and referees in complying with the provisions of the rule.

I’d be grateful if you would circulate this information to your Clubs / County team management personnel and place an emphasis on the following key points:

• Gaelic footballers in all age grades must wear a mouthguard from January 1st 2014

• A properly fitted mouthguard is the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries

• Players can be sent-off in a game for not wearing a mouthguard

• Players will not be covered under the GAA player injury scheme if they don’t comply with the mouthguard rule

Is mise, le meas,

7s match report - w3

W3:
Some big hitters were missing from tonights third and final round of the Gothenburg GAA interprovincials, and Munster made their experienced team count to drag themselves back into contention for the overall title.
They were fast out of the blocks against Leinster, racking up a huge win 3-10 to 0-5, a fourteen point difference. Connacht had four players who never played the game before, and couldn't put it up to the southerners, running out losers 4-2 to 1-1.
At the end of this game, that left the standing at Leinster and Munster with three wins each and Connacht on two. Munsters scoring difference was +23 points, Leinsters was -18 and Connachts was -8. That meant that Connacht were effectively out unless they won by 31 points, but still had a lot to say about wher the title would go in the final match.
In the end Leinster combined more clinical finishing with cynical fouling to run out 2-5 to 1-2 winners, taking the overall title.
Congratulations to Leinster on the title, thanks to everyone who showed up so we could get three teams out each night, and welcome back to all those players who tried the sport for the first time. What a great way to cap the year, and we'll definitely be doing this again at the start of next season. We can't leave Leinster on top for long.
Thanks Eoin Ó Broin for the idea and the drive to realise it.

7s match report - w1

W1:
Connacht ran into an early lead at the Gothenburg GAA Inter-provincial seven-a-side this evening. In the first match they took on favourites Leinster and the goals just flowed. The end score was 6-4 to 3-6 in favour of the westerners.
Next up was a tight, low-scoring affair against Munster, with a one point victory 6 points to five. Neither team had their scoring boots, but Connacht dominated possession.
Leinster took the spoils in the last game of the evening. 2-7 to 1-09 was the final score here, Munster going down by one point once more.
The victorious Connacht team was Adrian Kelly, Bradley Crane, Daniel Buschor, Moises Rodriguez, Paul Curley, Madeleine Mann and Erik Wargh.
Next week the action will hotten up, when round two of three will take place at Kviberg.
Up the West and feck the rest!

Stockholm 14th sept

Hi all,

Just a quick mail to put the feelers out there to see who would be interested in this tournament in Stockholm weekend of 14th sept.

Billy was informing us that it's Stockholm and Malmö that  are playing. I personally would love to get a Gothenburg team up there to finish the season off. 

Regarding the Ladies, I'm sure there is a ladies game planned up there and if we can get our girls up to either join in with them or on the unlikely event that we get a full ladies team to travel, they could make a team to play in their own tournament . 

To cut to the chase, I'm tryin to find out who'd be willin to travel up. No point going with 4 or 5 people. But if we got 10/11 it'd be worth the trip. 

If billy can find out what the exact running order is up there, and get back to me. 

It's only 3 weekends away so people would have to make a commitment in the next week at the latest, in order to book hostels,  transport and the like.

I'll leave it with yee.

Billy might shed a bit more light on it over the weekend.

Later guys 

Mal. 

P.s. anyone not on this email list, spread the word!

Draw for ladies and men - estonia

Hi all,
Please find attached draw for ladies and men.
Regarding men Copenhagen made suggestion to shorten games as playing
so many games it might be tiring.
I discussed it with Colin (CCO) and Shay (ref) and we could reduce
time for quarter and semi finals to 10 min a side if you all agree.
(A-B group games will be 12,5min a side and finals 15 min) If you
don´t agree then we can have changes on that on Saturday morning.
Anyway timeschedule won´t change.
Please notice that both football pitches are with artificial grass.
Pitch dimensions for men is 90 x 45m. So it is not that perfect as we
wanted but we hope that the size of the pitch doesn´t make the games
and tournament less enjoyable.
If you want to order taxi to get to the pitch then here is the webpage
that has all the offical taxis and their pricelists
http://www.taksod.net/index.php?la=en.
And please take some cash if you want to use sauna and swimming pool
on Saturday. Entrance to swimming pool and sauna costs 4 euros.
If you have any questions or thoughts ask it or share it :)
Otherwise see you on Friday evening or on Saturday morning.
BW, Siret
