I give credit to the intermediate
clubs, I know it’s hard work but put in
the effort and their time will come.
Commercial
“The fact we are senior is a big help; it’s a great
advertisement for new players. There was a time
in 2010 when we were down as intermediate
which is a huge struggle. I give credit to the
intermediate clubs, I know it’s hard work but put
in the effort and their time will come.
As we are the oldest club in London we have
received great publicity. For example, I was
asked to appear on ITV in a pre-recording
before the England v Ireland football match in
the Brothers Pearse kit to promote hurling.”
Challenges
“Reaching the 100 year anniversary would be
a huge mark in our clubs history. We’ve come
a huge way since 1920, keeping the players
is always a struggle as lads use London as a
stepping stone to Australia and beyond meaning
the numbers always jump up and down.
Building on the youth coming up would be a
great alternative to not have to rely so much on
passing players. Within the next 5 years our aims
would be 3 senior titles, senior leagues and the
London cups to get into the club championship
and have a chance playing the teams in Ireland
and to lift the cup would be a dream.”
