Angie und Susi in Dublin

Am Donnerstag, den 23.9.10 flogen wir abends nach Dublin, da wir die Ehre hatten, Europa beim Tesco All Ireland Ladies Football Club Sevens Tournament zu vertreten.
Nach einer interessanten Tour durch das Croke Park Stadion, welches der Hauptsitz der GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) und das größte Stadion Irlands ist, fand am Freitag ein gemeinsames Training mit fast allen Spielerinnen der beiden europäischen Teams statt.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte unser Trainer, Dave Barrett, immer noch nicht bekannt gegeben, welche Spielerinnen im A-Team und welche im B-Team spielen würden.
Abends im Pub konnte man die Anspannung trotz guter Stimmung spüren.
Der Samstag begann mit einem frühen Weckruf von Mary Gavin, unserer Spielerbetreuerin. Bevor wir gemeinsam zum Wettkampfort fuhren, hielt Tony Bass, zweiter Trainer und Manager der Teams, eine ermutigende Ansprache. Nervosität machte sich breit, als wir am St.Sylversters College ankamen. Insgesamt nahmen 90 Mannschaften, unterteilt in die drei Ligen Junior, Intermediate und Senior, am Turnier teil.

Endlich gab Dave die Aufstellung der beiden Mannschaften bekannt:
Wir durften im A-Team mit den besten Spielerinnen der European GAA spielen!
Hochmotiviert starteten wir in unser erstes Spiel gegen Carrigtwohill (aus Cork). Aufgrund von Startschwierigkeiten in unserer zusammengewürfelten Mannschaft verloren wir leider knapp, obwohl das Team schlagbar gewesen wäre.

Das Zusammenspiel verbesserte sich aber zusehends, so dass wir die nächsten beiden Spiele gegen Clonmel Commercials (Tipperary) und Emyvale (Monaghan) für uns entscheiden konnten. Unsere letzen Gegner in der Gruppenphase war Cuala (Dublin), die bis dahin alle Spiele gewonnen hatten. Wir lieferten uns einen harten Kampf, verloren aber dennoch klar.
Damit war das Turnier für uns leider beendet. Auch unser B-Team war nach nur einem Sieg frühzeitig ausgeschieden. So konnten wir uns gemeinsam die Finals ansehen.
Wir ließen den Tag mit einem gemütlichen Abendessen und ein paar Pints im Pub zusammen ausklingen.
Am Sonntag rundete ein Besuch in Croke Park, wo das All Ireland Football Championship Finale der Damen ausgetragen wurde, unser Gaelic Football Wochenende ab.
Thanks for a great weekend!

3rd, dritte, an tríú háit, tercer

In July, the lady Colmcilles travelled for their latest football tournament to Maastricht. The ladies placed 3rd after an exciting and competitive day against 7 other European teams.

Nine of our Munich ladies travelled the 8 hours by car to the beautiful city of Maastricht. Accompanied by their patient trainer, Shane, excitement and expectations were high. With their first game starting in the early afternoon, the ladies could clear their weary heads and spy the competition in the morning games. They began with a match against the Belgium B team. This turned out to be the most successful outcome of the day with numerous goals and points by the forwards and midfields. Susi, Angie and Julie stormed the field with excellent football maneuvers to help secure the game. Natsuki and Lauren, along with Lynne (Holland player) complimented the field and provided essential plays to set up and make scores.

With confidence justified, the ladies next match was against the Belgium A team. Notorious for their determined and talented forwards, the ladies prepared themselves for a challenging fight. They proved themselves prepared, as the best was brought out in all the players. Especially noteworthy were the backs, Silvia, Anne and Lena who played fiercely and prevented the opposition from gaining much ground and getting many points. However, despite a great team effort, the ladies could not overcome the Belgium force.

For their next and final match, the semi-final against Holland once again tested the ladies to the hilt. Despite an injury, and AnnaÂ´s first attendance at a tournament, the dayÂ´s goalie played beyond expectations and displayed some of the best performances of the day. A special thanks needs to go to Monika Duran (Barcelona) for joining our team and giving her all despite a long day. Unfortunately, the great effort by all the ladies could not compete with the Dutch team and they came up short in the end. Holland went on to play against Belgium A in the final and gave us one of the most exciting and closest finals that we have seen in a long time. The 3rd and 4th match against Paris was mutually waivered due to injuries and fatigue, and both teams agreed to a tied 3rd.

As to all ends of a tournament, the ladies enjoyed themselves off the pitches to a very nice meal and later ventured into the city for post tournament festivities. We would like to thank the Maastricht club for hosting and giving us a wonderful and well organized tournament.

With training in full swing, the ladies are now preparing to host and play in the next tournament in Munich on Saturday, September 11th. It guarantees to be an exciting day of football with over 15 menÂ´s and ladiesÂ´ teams from all over Europe. Please join us for the day and support our team and club.

Paris 2010 Report

We were delighted to participate just last weekend in the Paris GAA Ladies European Football tournament. We thank Paris GAA for their excellent organisation. Though short of numbers our squad of 3 (Angela Buechler, Suzi Schwalb and Silvia Sanz) was inflated to 8 players, a true pan-European effort on the players behalf. We sincerely thank Laura GÃ©rard (ex-Munich), Monica Duran (Barcelona), Emma Wood, Olga Lawlor (both Maastricht) and Odile Moutounet (Rennes) for coming to our rescue. It truely was an enjoyable and fun day as all the players can lay testimony to. Not to be content with just â€œturning upâ€ our team of vagabonds started slowly in the first round defeat to Paris A and then began to raise the tempo after the first 10 minutes of â€œgetting to know youâ€. It was for a brief but intense 5-minute period in the second half that our ladies realised their potential and scored a rapid 2 goals and 2 points without reply.

With confidence now restored, and new faith in one another, Munich defeated Belgium B in the second round game. With this win a semi-final spot was secured. After a brief rest-bite and relaxation in the intermittent sunshine, our ladies took on the mighty Belgium A. Munich battled bravely but fell short of the performance posted by their Belgium opponents.

The final game of the tournament, a 3rd and 4th place play-off was certainly most exciting. In a close and tense match the weary Munich team trailed by a single point with just moments remaining, only for the Holland team to secure a 4-point win with what turned out to be the last kick of the match.

In a consolation prize for the Munich team, Angie B. earned the female player of the tournament. Certainly a well-deserved accolade on the day.

Finally I must express my thanks one more time for the immense effort that all the ladies put in on the day. It was certainly an energy-sapping effort on behalf of our Munich representatives.

-Shane
