New Players!

Grainne

LMS are delighted to announce a Trinity (ha ha ha....cough cough) of new players to the team:  Aideen Costello, Helen Hobson and Grainne McCarthy.

Aideen

All of them are ready to make the commitment needed by the team for training and fitness, and we think they're going to be excellent additions to the team.

The season is now really getting going, woop!

Winning the Huck of the Irish and coming second in Bologna's women's division were just some of LMS's achievements in its first year. Travelling and competing in Bruges, Tour and not to mention winning international games at the World Club Championships in Prague, LMS has grown so much in the past year. And our kit is very pretty as well! 

If you are interested, just come along and see what we are about! Even if you don't want to try out, or unsure, you are very welcome.  

Hope to see some new faces there on Monday! 

Rose Bowl Fundraiser

A big thank you from LMS to all who bought baked goodies at the Rose Bowl last weekend. A grand total of €23.50 was made which is being donated to a worthy cause.

A massive thanks to our girl Cliodhna for organizing it with great enthusiasm and a smile on her face!!

Each person received a special edition, hand crafted, extremely expensive ring for their efforts during the year, which will remain with that player to hand down through the generations.

We then happily braved the cold to walk to Claire's house 5 minutes away without any moaning or whining, had a few pre-drinks, scanned the internet for free entry nightclubs after midnight, and ended up in the Odeon.  Cheap drinks and cheesy dancing, what more could a girl want? Maybe a load of hideous photos on Facebook to comemeorate the night?  Done!

LMS head out tonight for dinner, drinks and dancing!!

Hi All,

LMS are celebrating the end of their very first season by going out on the town tonight (Friday 26th).  We will be doing dinner and our own awards earlier in the evening, but then will congregate in a screeching, drunken mass at one of Dublin's finest drinking establishments which play cheesy pop music.  Which one, we are as yet unsure of, as we don't like paying in and Howl At The Moon is only free till 11.30. 

We would love for you all to join us for much merriment as our season would not have been as great as it was without the support of the Irish Ultimate community in all our fundraising and training events.  If you're interested get in touch with me (0863854202) or any of the other gals, but probably not before 11, and I'll let you know where we are.  

If that's not vague, I don't know what is, but the sentiment is there.

Liz

New Hoodies

LMS bring a bit of colour to the dreary winter days with new purple and yellow hoodies :)
