GAA Results

Congratulations to the Garryowen Hurlers for winning the Knockout Championship final for the third year running in June. They defeated the Melbourne Shamrocks in a close final. Our Women footballers made the final but were beaten by the much improved Sinn Fein team. The Men drew Wolfe Tones in the first week and that is where their Championship stopped.

The League finals are finished for 2008. Garryowen unfortunately did not make any of the League finals this year with both the Women and Hurlers finishing third and the Men finishing fifth.

Sinn Fein finished the season well in all codes by defeating Wolfe Tones, Grace O'Malleys and the Melbourne Shamrocks in the Men, Women and Hurling finals respectively to take a clean sweep of the League competition for the year.

"Twas on a dreary New years Eve, as shades of night came down…" Well not quite, but it was dark outside on a cool June Sunday afternoon when captain Brian Gannon lifted the cup after Garryowen clinched their third consecutive Victorian hurling championship with a rousing win over arch rivals Melbourne Shamrocks. In a low scoring final the champions combined a free-scoring start with some solid second-half defending to record the historic win.
