The Curragh were defeated 2.5-5.5 by a strong Elm Mount side in Round 7 of the League. After 7 rounds, the Curragh look strong enough to remain in Division 2 in our first season after promotion last year - a few tough battles ahead.
Bottom boards Derek Stacey and Franco Rivera have performed well against strong opposition to keep the team in the League. With games against Rathmines B and Lucan still to come, the Curragh's destiny is in their own hands.....
Other team members are Richard Arundell, Mark McLoughlin, Noel Lynch, Billy O'Connor, Peter Klompers and Brendan Duffy.

The Curragh's second team under the guidance of Dermot Earls are in a fight for survival in their first season in Division 4. A good 3.5-2.5 win against Drogheda last Saturday gives some hope that the team might be able to survive with only 4 rounds to go.
Newcomer Derek Meade got off to a winning start in the last round and Niall O'Shea prevailed in a tense time scramble to gain the points. This one will go down to the wire! Other team members are Mossy Canavan, Charlie Talbot and Leo Talbot.
