Sunday, August 29th brought us to the end of another successful Milwaukee Hurling Club season as the McBob’s Gael Winds took on Packy’s Dublin Blues in the MHC championship. From the initial throw in to the end of the first half, both teams were feeling out the opponent, trying to create a mismatch here or there and that resulted in relatively few scores. In the second half, McBob’s opened up a 9 point lead, but thanks to a goal and a couple of points by Packy’s, they were able to shave the lead down to 4.

McBob’s nearly immediately responded with a goal of their own to bump the lead to 7 and added a couple more points to ice things as the final whistle sounded. Congratulations to both McBob’s and Packy’s for a fine match and also to all of the players and supporters of the MHC – everyone’s involvement makes the club what it is!

MHC Championship:
McBob’s 3-10 (19) Packy’s 2-5 (11)

The MHC is sending 4 teams down to Chicago’s Gaelic Park over Labor Day weekend for the NACB championships. The MHC will be represented in camogie, Junior A hurling and Junior C hurling. Click here for more information on the weekend, including costs and schedule.

If you have some spare time on Monday, August 23rd, Irish Fest would love your help.

On August 23rd, the festival must be dismantled in 12 hours — and this is a task that requires as much help as possible (as you can imagine). 

If you can work an hour or the entire day, it is very much appreciated.  Please let Karen Fink know if you can help out — or contact Brian Witt directly at brianwitt@hotmail.com.

They are also in need of people who can drive a fork truck.  A license is not necessary as they can provide certification, which is good for three years… please contact Bob Hamill at 262.424.8028 or Joe Hughes at 414.315.0631 (jhughes0317@yahoo.com).
