in Greenford and coming from behind with a goal in the last
minute to secure a senior league and championship double.
All memorable occasions, but surely the most outstanding
was the clubs first Senior County Camogie Championship in
2007, a thrilling match against reigning champions.
Bros. Pearse led for most of the match, only to fall
behind to a goal in the last five minutes, the
determination of the girls that night was so
strong that they fought back to score a goal
with the last stroke of the game, to take the
championship 2-09 to 1-10, a night that
will never be forgotten.
Going forward, the club is very
seriously looking for its own premises,
joining together with the men’s hurling
and football club to be all housed under the
one roof; the only club in London to have all
four codes under the one banner.
We have players from all parts of Ireland
playing for us and have had many other nationalities
wearing our colours, from locally born girls to Australia,
South African, Swedish, Spanish and French to mention but a few.
The club enjoys a great social scene, meeting up to watch Gaelic
and Rugby matches in The Raven on Goldhawk Road, next to
Stamford Brook station and organising many other events, such
as quiz and race nights, raffles and Christmas outings.
