It’s high time the changing rooms at Ruislip and all
@LondainGAA
venues were opened. Some of our Reserves yesterday were forced to drink 10 pints of stout in a pub in Clapham without a shower after the match. Player welfare needs to be considered.
Driving an hour in full kit to play a match. Putting on boots in a "stand". Straight back in the car covered in sweat and filthy no showers. No respect for players. Fucked if it rains. Sort it out
@officialgaa
Our players held a minute's silence before training tonight as a mark of respect following the tragic death of
@theplunkettsgac
player Christopher Colhoun. Sincere condolences to the Colhoun and McAliskey families.
#RIPCrico
For everything you have done for us
@s_mccann10
, we thought we should do something for you. The committee, players past & present, management and wider Fulham Irish family have dug deep. Because we sure know you'll keep digging deep.

Many thanks to
@owen_mulligan
for his years of tremendous service to the club as both player and manager. SFC winner and some memorable points (and shoulders..) out at Ruislip. Best wishes with family and business matters at home. 🖤💚
Forwards of London will sleep easier tonight as one of the great Fulham men departs for the Mourne County. A man who finds his way to the bottom of every ruck or middle of every tackle & is always the one coming out with an O’Neills size 5. Roger Morgan - a Fulham legend.🖤💚🏆🏆
Congrats to
@Johngilfedder
in todays London marathon who slipped in 👀 just under 3hr for a PB and new
@fulhamgaa
club marathon record of 2:34:05. Phenomenal stuff.
Tomorrow represents one of the biggest days in the club’s history.
Shortly before 6pm, we line out for Amhrán na bhfiann in Castlebar, minutes later we go to battle with
@NaStiofanaigh
in the Connacht SFC QF.
Good luck to management & players.
Your club is proud of you 🖤💚
When
@MichaelMurphy85
was involved with the Tyrone All-Ireland SFC winning panel in 2005, Jack Goulding was playing U8 hurling for
@BallyduffGAA1
in Kerry. On Sunday they combined for the winning goals in the London SFC final. The GAA is beautiful. 🖤💚
Some game of football at Ruislip today. Black cards, yellow cards, red cards, goals and as much action off the ball as on it. But when all said and done we are back in our 3rd county final in as many years. Big few weeks ahead for the club. Let’s get behind both teams 🖤💚
Special moment at last night’s underage session when John Joe Maguire - father of Fulham Irish underage co-founder
@seanmag_
- celebrated his 84th birthday watching his grandson Jack get some pre-season training in. Tooting a long way from Lavey but GAA roots know no borders 🖤💚
Touchdown in God’s country 💚🖤

From Breffni Park to Croke Park and now in Ruislip, this man has been wreaking havoc on defences for the past decade. Working in London for close to two years, he has been a key addition to our 2018 squad. It's

And they’re off…. 30 kids down At Wandsworth Common this morning for the inaugural Fulham Irish Youth training session. Historic day for the club. Credit to all those involved, the volunteers and particularly to
@seanmag_
for driving this project from the outset. 🖤💚
Our sole Frenchman Jerôme couldn’t make training last night as he was at home visiting family. So he went down to his local GAA club in Liffré, Brittany and did the session with 25 ❗️other French lads. Arrangements for a friendly pending…. 🇫🇷🇮🇪
From strapping ankles in the snow to being the last one standing on a night out,

Great to have
@Armagh_GAA

legend Oisín McConville in town for an excellent session recently. Not many know their way about a Championship better than that man does. Hopefully not the last trip over 🖤💚
Huge battles await tomorrow for our Seniors & Reserves Vs
@StKiernansGAA
, not a backward step taken by either club. But there’ll be one man’s absence felt by all… Lorcan, Brendan, JD & Davy Connolly share some words on the late St Kiernan’s clubman, Brendan Moyles.
Huge congratulations to Ronan Sloan named in this week’s
@officialgaa
team of the week. As humble a man as you’ll find, he will bat this off like it’s nothing at all but credit where credit is due.
Hoping to win their first championship in management on Sunday but did you know this pair have 3 All-Ireland SFC medals between them? Mugsy has three & Savo has none 🖤💚
We knew we'd be up against it yesterday, and so we were.
@CorofinGAA
aren't one of the best sides about for nothing. Defeat never tastes good but proud of our men for battling hard with some excellent performances. Lots more to come on 2018. On to the next one!

All the best to Conor Hyde & David Connern who are both undergoing operations today / tomorrow for broken bones sustained in yesterday's replay. Hope all goes well lads. 🖤💚
Next we have a man that has come from South Derry to South London for his first SFC victory. A produce of

Well done to our Reserve footballers this afternoon who defeated Parnells 2-09 - 2-04 in Greenford. Semi-Final will be on 1st October at Ruislip. Some greedy but successful play from key men got us across the line, as captured in this photo.

Where better to start than Mr Fulham Hurling. A Cork man at heart but London has had him for most of a decade.Having replaced the hurl with a 7 iron, he made a return as a player / assistant manager this year. Part of the 2012 IFC winning team, it’s Miguel Juan Ruby

Our entire club is deeply shocked and profoundly saddened by the news of Mattie’s untimely death. An ever-present at Ruislip and a friend to so many London Gaels. Taken long before his time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
London GAA is extremely saddened to report the absolutely awful news that referee Mattie Maher passed away earlier this evening.
He had been reffing a provincial match in Watford when he took ill, but passed away en route to the hospital.
