Virtual League Prizes


The Virtual League is over but we have one last hurrah. We have a few prizes for people who made an impact over the course of the competition.
First up we have a blackrocks jacket for Eve-Lyne Bertrand the captain of the winning team, the Not So Underdogs. As she was introduced to the club by a blackrock, it’s only fitting. We also have three Healthy Club cookbooks for the people who made the biggest improvements over the three weeks.

Marty Lawless, who ended up increasing their distance logged by 28.79km from week one to week three. Larissa Anastasia who increased the time they logged by 5 hrs and 19 minutes, and for Caroline Leduc who managed to set the most personal bests across the competition, with four.
Well done everyone!

Winter Superleague 2022: Week Three Results


Week three of the superleague brought us three entertaining games, one of which was a history making inaugural Camogie superleague game.
The opening game was the men’s Verdun Vikings taking on the Goose Village Blackrocks, as with their first game of the season the Vikings started slow, which gave the Blackrocks a lead they never surrendered. Despite a spirited performance in the ten minutes before and after half time, the Vikings could never quite take back control of the game and it finished with a comfortable eleven-point victory.
The middle event of the day was the very first camogie match between PSC Cu Chulainn and N.D.G. Na Fianna Rouges. Both sides started strong, but it was the rouges who got and kept the upper hand. The Cus picked up the pace in the second half, but the damage had already been done and Rouges were the comfortable winners by a margin of twenty-five points.
And finally, we had a must win game for the Verdun Vikings in the ladies’ Football where they lined out against the Goose Village Blackrocks. A narrow loss to the Gaels meant the Vikings needed to win here to stand a chance of getting into the finals, whereas the Blackrocks could see their place secured with a win of their own. The Blackrocks started strong and made some initial gains before being slowly pulled back by the Vikings, but early in the second half the Blackrocks took the game by the scruff of the neck and in a ten-minute period stayed camped in the Vikings half, building up a lead that the Vikings spent the rest of the game chasing. It wasn’t to be, and in the end the Blackrocks ran out as winners by nineteen points.
