Thomas McCurtains Hurling & Football Club Notes

Well done to the Camogs who made it to the shield final in the Tara's 7-a-side tournament last Saturday. 

Both our footballers and hurlers are on the road next week as both teams travel to Scrubs. The footballers take on Moindearg in the league on Sunday while the Hurlers are up against Fulham Irish in the Ronan Cup on Tuesday evening. 

With the championship season fast approaching this is the last week of our fundraiser the Thomas McCurtains GAA Predictor Quiz and entries will not be accepted after the closing date. How well do you know your GAA? Can you predict the outcome of the All Ireland Championships. Can you beat our "Tipsters"? 

To get your name in the draw and see if you can beat the rest, fill in the form found online here with your predictions or look out for hard copies of forms in pubs across East London and Essex. Contact Richard Ellis on 07803519394 for more information. Entry is £10 and the top prize is £200.
