All-Ireland Progression
It has been an incredible run for several Templeogue United teams on the All-Ireland stage, with three squads progressing after fantastic performances.
U16 Boys
Our U16 boys travelled to
Mullingar Athletic and delivered a superb performance away from home to secure their place in the Quarter Finals. Playing with great discipline and composure, they showed the quality and determination that has defined their season so far.
U12 Premier Girls
Our U12 girls produced a brilliant away win against
Shamrock Rovers, showing tremendous character and teamwork. It was a performance full of energy and belief, and one that the whole club is incredibly proud of and as for yesterday... WOW. Into the semi-finals now, just incredible
U12 Premier Boys
The U12 boys enjoyed an outstanding couple of results. First, a strong performance
at home against Bridge United, followed by an impressive
away victory against Salthill Devon, sealing their progression into the Quarter Finals
To have
three Templeogue United teams progressing at national level is a fantastic achievement and a credit to the players, coaches and families who support them every week.
Emerging Talent Program
Our
Sunday 11.1 group had the opportunity to travel over and take part in a Foundations Programme workshop delivered by the ETP coaching staff in Abbotstown. The session focused strongly on individual player development and provided a great experience for the lads. A thank you to the DDSL for the invitation.
Coaching Development – Darren Dillon Workshop
Off the pitch, we were delighted to welcome Darren Dillon to the club to deliver a Strength & Conditioning workshop for our coaches.
The session focused on helping coaches understand how to safely introduce strength, movement and athletic development into youth football sessions. It provided practical tools that can help players improve performance while also reducing injury risk.
Investing in the
education and development of our coaches is a key priority for the club, and sessions like this ensure our players continue to benefit from the best possible environment.
A huge thanks to Darren for sharing his expertise.
Sold-Out Coerver Coaching Camp
We were also delighted to host another sold-out Coerver Coaching Camp at the club.
The camp once again proved hugely popular, giving players the chance to develop their skills, confidence and love for the game in a fun and positive environment.
It’s fantastic to see so many young players engaging with the game and enjoying their football at Templeogue United.
In Memory of Dick Dunne
Finally, we close this newsletter with a moment of reflection.
The club was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of
Dick Dunne, a much-loved member of the Templeogue United community.
Dick meant a great deal to many around the club, and his presence, kindness and support will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Dick’s family and friends at this difficult time.
May he rest in peace.
To conclude, thank you to everyone who continues to support Templeogue United — our players, coaches, volunteers, parents and sponsors. Your commitment is what keeps the club thriving.
We look forward to another great year ahead and hope to see you down at the club in the weeks to come.
Gavin Jones,
Chairman
