Seventh Annual Charity Quiz Night - Another Superb Success
Our Seventh Annual Charity Quiz Night took place in the Sala Room at the Crown Moran Hotel on Friday evening last and again provided a drama packed evening. As members and guests battled their way through the educational maelstom set by quizmaster Michael Mulvaney and his team, a certain air of inevitability transcended the occasion as the spectre of 'Quiz King' Colm Finnegan, this time accompanied by nephew Christopher Finnegan, filled the night. King Colm duly collected another winning trophy, his fourth in seven years, and is now reported to be considering an extension to his Wicklow residence. We are delighted to have been able to present our nominated charity for this year - Aisling - Return to Ireland Project, with a cheque for £900 from the proceeds of the evening.

Irish colony helps bring cheer to Edinburgh...04/02/2012
There was some cheer in Edinburgh this afternoon, albeit at Easter Road and not Murrayfield, as manager Pat Fenlon saw his growing colony of Irish players help Hibernian into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. Record breaking former Sligo Rovers striker Eoin Doyle scored the only goal against Kilmarnock, while Under 21 candidate Matt Doherty, making his debut on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, was pivotal in defence.

The early Sunday afternoon FA Cup fourth round tie between Sunderland, with John O'Shea and James McClean in their starting eleven, and Middlesbrough ended in a one all draw at the Stadium of Light.

While Keith Fahey was an unused substitute, his club Birmingham City cruised into the next round with a four nil victory at Sheffield United with Adam Rooney scoring twice. There was disappointment for Leon Best and Robbie Brady as their clubs, Newcastle United and Hull City exited the competition.

Further south, Simon Cox started while Shane Long was a late substitute as West Bromwich Albion lost at home by two goals to one against Norwich City, who had Wesley Hoolihan and Anthony Pilkington in their starting eleven, while Marc Tierney was an unused substitute.

Irish quartet in FA Cup action on Friday evening...27/01/2012

Darron Gibson and Shane Duffy both completed ninety minutes for the home side, while the injured Seamus Coleman remained an absentee. The visitors included both Stephen Kelly and Damian Duff in their starting eleven.

Under 16s defeat Portugal in opening contest...17/01/2012
Head Coach John Morling saw his Republic of Ireland Under 16 side score a two one victory over hosts Portugal in Caldas de Reinha, thirty miles north of Lisbon, this afternoon. Early goals from Conor Dimaio and Eoghan Stokes put Ireland in first half command. The hosts scored early in the second half and dominated much of the play thereafter, but were foiled by a stout defensive performance with goalkeeper Peter Burke to the fore.

Tony Booth - RIP - Tenth Anniversary
In this year of 2012, we mark the tenth anniversary of the sad passing of Tony Booth, whose contribution to the development of the Republic of Ireland Soccer Supporters Club (London) is indefinable. Long standing members will be aware that St Luke's Hospice, Kenton played a supporting role during Tony's sad departure from this life and, together with his widow Catherine and son Turlough, the Club encourages any support, however small, that club members and friends can lend to the Hospice. Contributions can be made directly to St Luke's Hospice through the attached link.
