Dublin Club Summer League Winners 2009

After a long schedule of lots of games across the summer, Broccoli won the final of the inaugral Dublin Club Summer League, beating OCS 13-1. It was a one-sided game in the end, not helped by OCS' lack of luck and a few unforced errors early on. If a few points near the start had gone their way it could've been a different story altogether but with 16 players out and a depth of experience on both of the two Broc lines we won through convincingly. Despite Dominick's presence and the return of Jay from injury, OCS struggled against a decent zone and had a few unlucky drops. We converted well after a mixed start and closed out the game aggressively. It was a fun game, especially with the large turnout, from our point of view, with Nationals, Bologna and Cork in the pipeline.



OCS did brilliantly to get to the final and proved that belief, practice and a sense of team go a long way. Here's hoping we'll see more of them in future finals. Big thanks to Buggy, Cormac & co for a great event - more of the same next year would be great!



Broc MVP of Summer League: Sinead O'Shiel Flemming - not only ever-present, but Shinners played consistently well, scoring loads of goals and getting her fair share of blocks too. Proof that some girls can play in the Open division.
