❄️🥶 Rathfarnham WSAF – Dublin Masters Champions! 🥶❄️
St. Anne’s Park was basically the Arctic today, but the cold never bothered us anyway… especially when there’s a Pat Hooper Perpetual Cup to be wrestled back! 💚🏆
In Baltic conditions, our crew stormed Raheny and brought the trophy home. Yes, Raheny Shamrocks… we’ll mind it for ye. Until next year. 😉
🥇 Medal Mayhem in the Cold
Intermediate Women:
Edel McCreery braved the frost and brought home gold! ❄️👑
M50 Men:
Paul Fleming grabbed individual gold, with team silver thanks to Paul, Sean McCreery, Dermot Shiels and Edwin Keville, Paul Gilligan and Pearse Coyle. Ice in the veins, medals on the chest.
M65 Men:
Age? Never heard of it.
Team Gold for Tom Cuddy, Gerry Boyle, Martin Kelly, Brendan Hogan, Sean Doyle, Donal Murphy, Eoin Murray and Terry Clarke.
Tom also picked up individual silver because apparently he’s collecting medals like loyalty points at this stage.
F50 Women:
A brilliant 4th place and crucial points for the PHPC!
Donna Mahon, Vanessa Sallier, Sheelagh Jones, Catherine Kelly and Miriam McCormack – heroes in hats and gloves.
F35 Women:
Louise Gaffney led the charge with individual 3rd and team silver!
Backing her up were Catriona Dowling, Gráinne Black, Laura Ryan, Claire Shiels, Lorraine Nolan, Amy Cooke, Esther Lawlor, Lian Brady, Louise Cassidy and Keren Ziv. A frosty powerhouse.
M35–49 Men:
Matt Kane continued his red‑hot form (the only warm thing in the park today) with silver, and Dave Power finished a brilliant 4th.
Their efforts sealed team silver and locked down the Pat Hooper Cup.
Also flying the flag: Patrick Marjolet, Ciaran Aylward, John McCauley, Greg Byrne, Richie Doran, Ross Griffin, Denis Everett and Sean McCarron.
🏆 And so… the Pat Hooper Cup returns to Rathfarnham.
Raheny, thanks for keeping it polished. We’ll see you next year – same time, hopefully warmer weather.
