Monster Table Quiz at the Lounge!!!!!!

Our Table Quiz is due to take place next Thursday 3rd Dec, at Bulgaden Castle Lounge.

It promises to be an exciting evening, full of laughs and socialising, but also a great quiz, set by our own local quiz expert Pat Corkery, with a fabulous 500 euro prize for the top table. Plus 2nd prize is a round of golf for 4 at Ballineety Golf Club, and there are other exciting consolation prizes for the runner up tables. On the night we will be also holding a raffle, and there are lots of prizes for that, kindly donated by a range of local shops and businesses.
Plus extra spot/door prizes

Lets not forget too, that the Quiz night, will also be a valuable fundraiser for Castle United, its an expensive thing to run the club for a season and to plan for the clubs development, which we hope next year will include a Junior club. Fundraising is therefore a constant and vital part of the clubs activities.

So please, especially Parents, try and support this night.

Defender Of The Week - Conor Mulcahy
What can i say about this lad, his performance in defence during the U14's game was excellent, from his reading of the game to his fearless tackling and clearing of the ball when the team was under pressure, this was a terrific display of how to play the game and thoroughly deserving of this new award, well done Conor.


Pass Of The Week - Sean McCarthy
This pass was made by Sean during the U12's match in Donohill, showing great skill and technique to cut inside his marker he then gave a pinpoint lobbed pass into the striker, this was a terrific pass and well worthy of this award, well done Sean.

Just a bit of back news from when we were off air....


(some of the boys who competed, with their own Castle United awards for great play at the tournament, left to right, Ken Duce (coach) Danny Maloney (Man of the Tournament) Michael Duggan (Man of the Match) Liam Maloney (coach) James Herbert (Man of the Match) Mike Herbert (coach) and Michael Duce (Goal of the Week) Next photo Rodger Cleary (Man of the Match) with Mike Herbert (coach)




Its too hard to report back all what was missed, but I would like to share a couple of things....




The first was the massive success of our U8 boys team at the tournament in Kilmallock last week.... out of 8 teams we came 2nd, beaten in the final by Ardpatrick.


This was a huge boost for all of us at the club, and I think the boys really enjoyed their day out. (thanks to Kilmallock AFC for inviting us and for the refreshments etc).




Fantastic Matches last weekend

Last Weekend saw 4 home matches up at Kilbreedy, and they were all great to watch, most of the parents I spoke too said they thoughly enjoyed them.

Although we still did not get a win, all our teams are that much more competitive now...... and we even got some great goals... there are lots of talent on the teams, and it is quite startling how some of our players have improved and you can see they will have great potential in the future....

The team merchandise, hoodies, kit, kitbags etc are available to order now, but they must be in by Friday to ensure delivery for Christmas, please call around to Ken's house if you need an order form.
