Slightly later than usual the Leaving Certificate results will be out on Friday. We would like to wish all awaiting results the very best of luck. Don't stress, as your Ma has probably told you a thousand times 'what's for you won't pass you'.
Match Fixtures

Dinny O'Brien
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Dinny O'Brien. A Tipperary native who came to Dublin, Dinny was a regular and most welcome visitor to Fingallians where he was very popular company for all who met him. When asked once why he always sat next to the Gents he said "it was a great way to make sure to have a chat with everyone". Dinny was proud of and never forgot his native Tipperary roots but also had great time for all his friends in the club where he was held in great esteem. To all the O'Brien family we extend our sincere sympathies. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis.
