Representing Croydon on the starting fifteen were newly elected senior club captain Elaine Dunphy, vice-captain Sharon McNeela, and Sarah Allen. Katie Cullen also got her first taste of county action when she came on as a second-half substitute. London lost last weekend to Westmeath by a 2 point margin. With Carlow not fulfilling their fixture in London next weekend, London await the outcome of the Tyrone - Westmeath game. If Tyrone win, it's a three way play-off between London, Tyrone and Westmeath. If Westmeath win, then London will be their opponents in the Division 4 National League Final.

So only 25 minutes late starting, and it was Rita who got things off to a flyer, rattling through her Chairperson's address. I'd summarise it as follows: Great to have so many involved on the committee in 2009, and all did brilliantly. Great to have Neil on board as trainer, and the girls (those that showed up!), really enjoyed his training. His enthusiasm and commitment was fantastic. We failed to deliver on the pitch....have to sort that out. But she finished with a rallying cry, so motivating that I felt like playing a match there and then, and I was only on soft drinks, so it was all down to Rita, good woman. If we win anything this year Rita, I'll single out that moment as  a defining one of the year! Then it was over to one of the young ones, Sarah and her secretary's report. Nice report Sarah, I recognise some of those expressions, kid, but I forgive ya! Included congrats to the married (Mairead) and engaged (Clarkie and Little Mel), and a welcome to the new girls, 2 of whom were brave enough to attend the AGM....sure hope they come back! Over to Sharon, and good to see we have a few quid in the kitty....hmmmm....must put some thought into trips away.... Some bright spark (!) proposes a new "social" membership fee....just trying to collar some of the recent retirees....Collier and Treasaigh be warned! Then on to the serious business. Dunphy is elected senior captain (that's the two kids graduated to captaincy now, how proud I am), and "oul" reliable Sharon, who's as enthusiastic as ever, is elected vice-captain. Good stuff. The officers....Rita's the only nomination for Chair....at least we know she wants it, since she didn't nominate anyone else herself. Deadly, job done. We have a contest for vice-chair, always a good sign, and Jenni is elected. Secretary is Bridget (club this year, co next year maybe B?!), and her assistant is Sarah. Thanks for last year Sarah, I know it's a tough job! Oh but B, you'll be grand! Treasurer is Sharon again, and a clear message, no money, no gear! PRO is Clare (just thought I'd save ya a job here Clare, though maybe not the report you had in mind...), and then there's some chat about a new role of Development Officer. Sinead O'D is keen but a Southend commute is a problem. We're about to leave it vacant....and then.... out of the blue, the wannabe Rose herself pipes up, Alison will give it a go! Good for you Alison, I think you'll be great at it, and best of luck in the London Rose contest.....and the Brighton half-marathon.....and the London Marathon....no stopping you girl! General committee members....nice one Rita, sure just ask everyone there, the more foot soldiers you have, the better. Fordie, Sinead O'D and Elaine are it (with more of ye to be asked at a later date.....don't anyone get smug!). Neil's on board again for 2010, though unsure of what commitment he can give. But great to have him. Training will be this week, as long as we can share the lights. Bríd announces her retirement.....is that the mistake some of us made....we never actually said, "don't text or call me"....respect, Bríd. Thanks for the memories! Especially the psycho moment in Holly Lane.....classic! AOB...."can we talk about the Boston Sevens?", says Alison. Someone mentions Birmingham tournament, which clashes with a county fixture - girls should go to one or the other, guilt free, as long as they go to one of them. Someone mentions the Tara Sevens.....yes, we'll be playing. "Can we talk about the Boston Sevens?", says Alison again. You after a trip abroad Ali?! Miami....is that October? Dubai....February 2011? Right, pattern emerging....they want to go somewhere....one for the new committee to address. A return trip to Kilanena? Yes, of course (but don't forget the Boston Sevens.....). A club reunion? Yep, sounds like a plan. We're 25 years on the go next year says Mary Mac, sounds like a decent excuse. That's alot of ideas, on our first get-together. It could be a good year.... Right, wrap it up, 6.45 and time for a drink. Collier?! No, really, Collier, is that you?! Wonders will never cease.... Would you be a selector this year? Not if it's raining says Fordie.... Ann, "the new girl", sticks around, to suss us out. Quiet enough to start. Then Fordie starts to worry about staying off the drink if there's a club session in the Ramble before Easter.....Ann pipes up "I like the sound of this club!". Ha! She's one of us! And that took less than 4 hours. Welcome! Fordie buys her a drink.... That's where I left them.....drinking away....and sensible me headed home. I am getting old.....

The second half commenced with a much changed Croydon side, tactical moves saw full back Anne Marie O’Dwyer move to full forward with Sarah Allen taking up the full back position.  These switches proved their worth for Croydon as they closed the gap on the leaders with Lizzie Jones getting her second score of the day as she put the ball past goalie, Therese Doyle.   Pearses defense battled hard to break through the Croydon midfield but the home team stood their ground with stoic performances by Maria Clarke and Aisling Touhy.  Sharon McNeela leveled the scoring with a converted free from the 40 yard line.  This lifted Croydon’s spirits and was the turning point of the game as Croydon took the lead with a point from Bridget Hehir.  The visitors continued their efforts but were unable to stop the Croydon forward line from clocking up some fine scores with 2 points from Anne Marie O’Dwyer and an excellent goal from Sharon McNeela.  Pearses’ heads didn’t drop as they made a tactical switch and brought Sue Deasy to centre forward where she fought hard and was rewarded with a converted free.  The end was drawing near and both sides showed their determination with Croydon’s Elaine Dunphy and Pearses’ Trish Nihill epitomising the character of both teams but ultimately Croydon triumphed on the day and ran out winners with a final score line of 2.06 to 1.05.  Croydon: K Collins, J McGivney, A M O’Dwyer, B Hehir, S O’Donoghue, E Dunphy, S Allen, S McNeela, M Clarke, M Tierney, S Keatley, A Touhy, R O’Mahoney, L Jones, B McAdam Subs M Hoare     Saturday 6th June 2009 Poulter Park, Mitcham Croydon 2.06 V Bros Pearses 1.05 The second round of the London Camogie Championship saw Croydon overcome Bros Pearses with an outstanding comeback in the second half to secure an important victory.  From the outset the game was tense and competitive with many hard fought battles in the centre of the pitch.  Croydon opened the scoring with a well taken point by Lizzie Jones, quickly followed up with a further point by Rita O’Mahoney.  Pearses came fighting back, securing their own puck out and passing the ball to corner forward Aoife O'Connell who rattled the Croydon net.  Some excellent play followed with many hard fought contests around the middle of the field.  Pearses continued to apply the pressure with Sue Deasy, in particular, making trouble for the Croydon backline.  Their efforts were rewarded and a further 3 points were added to their tally before the whistle blew at half time.

The second half resumed in the same vein with Tara continuing to pressurise the Croydon backline.  An excellent up-front pairing of Bid Grennan and Denise Gilligan saw the points clock up for Tara.  Croydon could only respond with two pointed frees from Sharon McNeela as many other chances failed to reach the mark from their forward line.  Tara’s defence was solid through-out with an excellent performance by Ann Gleeson in particular.  Tara ran out convincing winners of the day as they made their intentions clear on gaining the title this year.

A highly entertaining 60 mins of camogie was enjoyed by the spectators as the game could have gone either way right up to the point when Darren Howlin blew the final whistle. Bros. Pearse had the better start with full forward Sue Deasy scoring two well taken goals beating Croydon keeper Anne-Marie O Dwyer. Croydon responded well, gradually taking advantage of the slight hill, with a goal from Michelle Mulhall, playing her second game of the day. Points from Aishling Touhy saw the teams head for half time with a scoreline of 2-01 to 1-02. Again, Bros. Pearse made the better start with two well taken points shortly into the second half, but were unable to keep up that momentum. Croydon made some changes and managed to come within a point of the leaders with 10 minutes to go. The Pearses back line came under enormous pressure and did extremely well to maintain the lead. Croydon had some frustrating wides with a number of shots just failing to reach the target. Finally a point from Sharon McNeela on the stroke of full time ended the game in a draw.
