A big thank you

Iniscealtra Community Shield 2008

The success of our first tournament was down to a huge amount of generosity, good will and hard work. We'd like to thank the following for making it all possible:

  • all the teams who made the day what it was
  • the Scariff Show Society, for the use of the field
  • Mountshannon Celtic for the use of their goalposts
  • Tulla United AFC for the loan of some netting
  • Scariff Rugby Football Club for the use of their facilities
  • the 3 Clare League referees who gave their time and skill for all 33 matches
  • TJ for the use of his marvellous marquee
  • the Irish Red Cross for their care of the wounded
  • the Iniscealtra Festival committee for their support
  • Karen for providing the refreshments
  • Denise, Rebecca and Danielle for administration on the day
  • Phil B for shouldering most of the organisational burden and taking care of the bulk of the practicalities
  • all the other Mixed Bag players who helped with the setup and clearup
  • everybody else who helped out

The first name on the shield is: Jakko's Bar

Jakko's receive their trophy

The inaugural Iniscealtra Community Shield, a 5-a-side soccer tournament, took place in Scariff on Saturday 31st May as part of the 2008 Iniscealtra Festival of Arts, whose theme this year was Community.

Fourteen teams played out a thoroughly enjoyable tournament in bright sunshine despite the thunderous storms affecting surrounding localities. Indeed the Scariff Fire Station team had to withdraw due to a lightning strike nearby! Over €800 was raised for the Clare Branch of the Samaritans - many thanks to their Director, Mary Lynch for attending the tournament to present the shield to the winners: Jakko's Bar.
