NACB Results From Boston

The MHC was proud to send three teams to Boston over Labor Day weekend for the NACB Finals. Teams that traveled and competed were Junior Camogie, Junior A Hurling, and Junior C Hurling.

The Junior Cs opened the weekend with a match against the San Francisco Rovers on Friday at noon. The Rovers are a 2-year-old team of all American-borns who quite clearly have been training quite a bit and know what they're doing. Milwaukee matched the intensity and tenacity for much of the game, but San Fran was able to take advantage of their opportunities a bit better than Milwaukee and the Rovers took this one 23-10.

In the MHC's first match at the Junior A level, the Junior A team had a match with San Francisco's Naomh Padraig squad. Milwaukee hung pretty tough in the first half, trailing San Fran at half by 8 points. In the 2nd half, San Fran used their skill and speed to open things up and won handily by a score of 5-20 to 1-6.

In camogie, Milwaukee faced Washington DC on Saturday afternoon for the Junior Championship. In a spirited game, DC was able to score 3 goals and Milwaukee didn't have the answer as DC won 3-2 to 0-2. A special congratulations to the camogie squad for bouncing back from a year off and competing this year in the finals!

Here's the camogie squad from Boston:

It was a fun weekend despite the results and we were quite happy and proud to field a camogie team once again at the NACB Finals.

Thanks to all who traveled and we're looking forward to next year!

The Shamrock Club Hoists The Cup!

The Shamrock Club and Trinity Three Irish Pubs fought a tough battle for the 2009 MHC Championship on Sunday, August 23rd at lovely Brown Deer Park.

It was The Shamrock Club that jumped out to a modest lead right away and stretched it out to a nine point cushion at the break. Trinity would not go quietly though, and they were able to claw their way back into it. Trinity drew within three on a couple of late scores, but it was The Shamrock Club's day as they went on to victory by a final score of 19-16.

Congratulations to The Shamrock Club as well as everyone who made this year a great one!

Fatty - White Lightning!
