A beautiful Sunny day at Meola Road (Perhaps a bit too hot for players but great for onlookers!) where Harps took on Emerald City, one of the new teams made up of quite a few advanced players along with a few NZ standard soccer players. . This was a huge challenge for our new players to take on and they did it to the best of their ability considering a lot of them never even knew what Gaelic football was all about until a few weeks back.  Our experienced players knew they had a job to do today and that was leading by example.. they sure did this and well done to all of you!  Didi O Sullivan had an outstanding game, gave it 100% the whole way through, communication between herself, Elaine Clarke and Yvonne Gill was fantastic as they made lots of ground and resulting in a goal sent in by Tessa Hickey. Emerald City sent plenty of wides over the bar due to great pressure being put on a few of there key players, nice marking by Michelle Cahill and Tanya Elliott.Harps girls really kept up with the play for the 1^st half and showed us some great football by communicating well with each other and keeping the pressure on the other side.  Julie Houghton in goals played a stormer with several lovely saves throughout the game.  The second half was more upbeat and Harps fitness levels let them down.  Some of Emerald Cities girls could have run all day it seemed and this was harps weakness.  Harps kept up to speed as much as they could.  A lovely goal was scored by Didi O Sullivan along with a point. Miria Allman had a great game clearing the ball out on several occasions and Coaimhe Church did a fantastic job keeping up with her player throughout the game. everyone gave it their best shot in general and we will do it all over again with hopefully a few more points on the board as we take on Paddys this Sunday 14^th November kick off at 1.30pm.. Well done to everyone who participated. Thankfully Hammy is now driving, (watch out Auckland) Yvo would have been stranded Sunday when she was left at Meola Road after been promised a spin to the Clare by a good friend who forgot her Full Stop

11th Oct  Harps v Marist:  A great start to our season with a narrow 1 point win against a good marist team, we played very well moving the around with great confidence and precision. Great spirit.

Harps Man of the match: Pat O'Sullivan and Sean Quinlivan. 


29th Oct Harps v Celtic:  Unfortunately we couldn't find the same momentum we had the week previous and went down by 5 points, everyone tried very hard and put a great effort into the game but beaten by a better team.

Harps Man of the match: Rohann Da Silva. 

1st Nov Harps v Gaels:  A good game of football played very well by both teams, not a very high score line as both teams failed to capitalise on their chances, good spirit shown by Harps.

Harps Man of the match: Doire Reid. 

5th Nov Harps v St Pats:  Unfortunately St Pats had to default but we still played a highly competitive game, after being 3 points down at half time we fought back to win by 1.

Harps Man of the match: Pat O'Sullivan 

8th Nov Harps v Marist:  Certainly not our best game, never scored in the first half but did improve in the second, don't know final score, were well beaten, lots to improve on.

Harps Man of the match: Rohann Da Silva.
