Week three of the superleague sees men and ladies football action, as well as the inaugural game of our camogie league. All of this will be happening this Saturday, the 12th of March at the Concordia Stinger Dome, starting at 6pm.
Our opening fixture is the first game in the second round of men’s fixtures, with the Verdun Vikings looking to book their passage to the finals with their second win in as many weeks. Standing in their way are the Goose Village Blackrocks, who will be looking to reset and regroup after stumbling in their opening game. This should be a fantastic fixture, with these sides knowing how much is at stake here, it’ll be well worth watching.
In the middle we’ll have our very first Camogie fixture. Like the hurling, this will be a best of three series with N.D.G. Na Fianna Rouges taking on PSC Cu Chulainn, and like the hurling both sides will be eager to set the tone for the rest of the series with a strong start here. We can expect fast paced action and plenty of scores as this long-awaited event finally gets under way.
And finally, closing out another superleague week is the first fixture of round two of the ladies’ fixtures. Mirroring their male counterparts, it’ll also be the Verdun Vikings facing off against the Goose Village Blackrocks. In a reversal of that first fixture, it’s the Vikings hoping to thwart the Blackrocks goal of booking an early ticket to the finals, with a quick return to form after last weeks false start. Meanwhile the Blackrocks will be keen to put this to bed, so expect them to come out swinging. This should make for a fantastic last fixture to round out the day. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Week two of the superleague is over and the league is slowly taking shape, but there’s still plenty to play for. Starting off we saw the remaining two ladies teams in action, with the Verdun Vikings going toe to toe with the Griffintown Gaels. Both sides showed grit and determination, but eventually the quality of the Gaels side shone through to give them a five-point victory.
Next, we had our very first hurling fixture, with N.D.G. Na Fianna Rouges taking on PSC Cu Chulainn. The scores were tight in the first half, as both teams took a while to find their stride, but after the break it was PSC who got there first, turning on the pressure and pulling away for an impressive twenty-six-point victory.
Finally, the last fixture saw the Verdun Vikings and the Concordia Warriors meet to finish off the first round of men’s football. The Warriors showed early promise and went into the second half with command of the game, but an impressive rally from the Vikings turned the tide and eventually led to the Vikings winning out by a margin of twenty points.

Week two of the superleague sees a return to a full card of fixtures this Saturday, the 5th of March at the Concordia Stinger Dome, starting at 6pm.
First up we have Ladies Football, with the Verdun Vikings taking on the Griffintown Gaels. With the Goose Village Blackrocks having already put points on the board and with the season being so short, the teams here will know that this is going to be an important opportunity to put themselves in contention for a spot in the final. Both these teams have supplemented their core of experienced players with fresh talent so expect this match to go down to the wire.
Our inaugural hurling game of the season is the middle fixture, with the N.D.G. Na Fianna Rouges and PSC Cu Chulainn taking to the field for the first in their three-game series. With these teams being complete redrafts due to the split in hurling and camogie for this winter league, both are stacked with talent. The deciding factor here will be which team starts to gel first, as once either side gets into full flow, they’ll be hard to stop. This is a historic game, and not to be missed
Finally, we wrap things up with the last men’s game of the first round, as the Verdun Vikings line up against the Concordia Warriors. Much like the ladies’ game at the start of the evening, these teams know the chase is on, and with the Griffintown Gaels currently perched on the top of men’s league, a win here will be essential in keeping pace with them. These two sides should be very evenly matched, with emerging talent playing alongside grizzled veterans, all of which promises a fine display of football to wrap things up for Week 2.
