THE FIRST ANNUAL CHALLENGE MATCH HOSTED BY CLANN EIREANN WITH ST PETERS G.S.WAS A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH TWENTY AND A HALF POINTS NEEDED FOR VICTORY. AS THE RESULTS CAME CLANN WERE STUCK ON 20 POINTS AND A FEW MEMBERS WERE GETTING RESTLESS AS ST PETERS STARTED A LATE RUN RACKING UP THE POINTS. WHEN MARCEL MURRAY AND KIERAN HENDERSON BROUGHT IN THE VITAL HALF POINT THE SMILES RETURNED TO OUR TENSE MEMBERS FACES. THE FINAL SCORE BEING TWENTYFOUR AND A HALF TO FIFTEEN AND A HALF. AFTER THE MATCH ST PETERS PLAYERS RETURNED TO THE OUR SOCIAL CLUB FOR A BUFFET AND REFRESHMENTS SPEECHES WERE MADE THE TROPHY WAS PRESENTED AND TALES OF IMPOSSIBLE SHOTS WERE TOLD, BOASTS WERE MADE THAT NEXT YEAR WOULD RESULT IN A ST PETERS VICTORY. THE HONOUR OF PLACING THE TROPHY IN PRIDE OF PLACE WITH ALL OTHER CLANN EIREANN TROPHIES WENT TO MARCEL (THE MONSTER) MURRAY WHO SAID HE WOULD LIKE THE HONOUR OF REPLACING IT NEXT YEAR. A BIG THANK YOU FROM BOTH SOCIETYS GOES TO JACQUALINE McGIBBON FOR THE FANTASTIC BUFFET SHE HAD READY AND WAITING ON OUR RETURN TO THE SOCIAL CLUB
