Dear all,
Warmest congratulations to our men’s team, runners-up of the CUSAI volleyball league, and to our women’s team, 2009-2010 champions!
Those are well, well deserved rewards, the result of over five months of hard work. To top their qualifiers group and reach the semi-finals, the lads had to overcome Cork IT, IT Tallaght (ITT) and Galway-Mayo [...]

Dear all,
During study week there will only be training on Tuesday, for the competitors in the CUSAI League. There won’t be training on Thursday, because the CUSAI teams go to Belfast for the finals the day after and I want them to rest, and because I’m afraid there would not be enough beginners alone, considering [...]

Hey there,
I have arranged friendly games next Thursday to be played in our hall for both our CUSAI teams, who will be playing the Celbridge Philippians.
So as not to have our non-Tuesday players miss yet another session, I am booking the main hall from 7. Therefore, we’ll run the usual Thursday training from 7 till [...]

Bjorn took some great picks on that occasion, which can be viewed here.
I find the group picture excellent. It’s a pity Bjorn had to hold the camera, but we’re all having a grateful thought. Thank you Bjorn
See you next week,
Matthew

Dear all,
Congrats to our CUSAI girls’ and lads’ teams, who both won their last qualifier games before the finals by three sets to none (25-5, 25-4, 25-15 for the girls, and 25-19, 25-23, 25-15 for the lads).
In fairness, it was disappointing the girls did not meet the opposition that befitted them, making for a boring [...]

Everyone,
The basketball club hosts a league game on this Thursday evening, so they’re going to have the hall on our practice time. In return, we have their wednesday slot. So for this week, the Thursday session is replaced by another session, which is Wednesday (tomorrow), from 8:30 till 10pm. I’ll be in Galway with our [...]

Dear all,
Clubs and societies resume their activities this very week. This mean that volleyball is back on too, Tuesdays (small hall) and Thursdays (large hall), 8 till 10, still. Both sessions are for beginners and experienced together, at least for now – how the trainings will be organised for the coming semester is not defined [...]

And there we go again!!
Congrats to our lads who, yesterday, beat Institute of Technology Tallaght on their grounds, per two sets to one, 25-21, 23-25, 25-22 (or something like that). It was a tough, nerve-wrecking match. ITT had a few decent setters and attackers, and most of all, a bril-liant captain, with unreal attacking skills. [...]
