LIMEKILN ROUNDERS CLUB
Welcome to our Website, we are delighted to join our fellow Rounders Club, Erne Eagles, on the eteamz network. Our Club is located in Limekiln, which is a small community in Dublin 12. All our home games are played in nearby Tymon Park, on pitches allocated to us by South Dublin County Council.(parks department). Rounders,(Cluiche Corr in Irish),is very similar to fast pitch Softball and is one of the four official G.A.A.games,(albeit the lesser known).The game has been played in our area for around 30 years. Our present Club structure was established in 1994. We cater for teams of all ages, male,female,mixed,(COED),from under 13 years upto senior(adult) level.
Yearly Report 2007
At the outset of the season it was our intention, as usual, to field in all competitions available to us throughout the year, but a dispute with regard to the fielding of our two Senior Mixed teams led to the withdrawal of all our Senior teams from the latter stages of all Senior competitions. In Community Games competitions we successfully retained three of the four Dublin titles,(under 13&15 boys and girls),losing out to Clondalkin in the under 13 Girls Final In Feile Cluiche Corr,i.e. a Festival Weekend of Rounders, held this year in the grounds of Gormanstown College over the August Bank Holiday weekend we had over 40 young club members taking part, with teams playing in all categories. We were not strong enough to win any titles but everyone played with great gusto and not a little skill. The venue and bad weather led to the event being very poorly supported this year. The atmosphere of the usual "weekend away" was badly missed. (This weekend of Rounders caters for under 13&15 boys and girls and under 14&16 mixed(coed).Teams from all Provinces of Ireland attend.
In Leinster, league/blitz, competitions were held on several weekends, at various locations. Our Club were crowned champions at,under 13 Boys,under 13 Girls, under 15 Girls & under 15 Boys and under 14 Mixed .
All Ireland Championship competitions for Male, Female and Mixed teams are held every year at Senior and Minor(under18s)levels. Our Club were delighted and proud to have reached the finals in all six sections in 2004, Achieving the ultimate goal in Minor Men and Minor Mixed, Senior Ladies and Senior Mixed, an unprecedented success of four All Ireland Titles for our Club. This was always going to be a hard act to follow, as indeed proved to be the case.
The All Stars were awarded and presented in Croke Park on December 16th. Well done to John Nolan who was our sole winner this year.
Congratulations to all, win,lose or draw, who took to the Diamond for Enjoyment throughout the past season.
