Soccer — Sol icitors Get Their Just Per Cent

INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY OF IRELAND

On the 4th of July last another Independence Day dawned, this time quite by accident. The story began when the Younger Members Committee were asked by their counterparts in the Irish Institute of Auctioneers and Valuers to enter a team in their mixed soccer blitz. The venue was to be Blackrock Rugby Club. The date the 4th of July. A team consisting in the main of last year's winners of the Law Society's Soccer Blitz took the field against the combined might of the auctioneering profession. Several hours later, f o l l owi ng games against Gerard Farrelly & Co., James Adams & Co., Druker Fan- ning & Partners, The Valuation Of- fice and Allen & Townsend, they found themselves in the final, hav- ing scored 1 7 goals and conceded only two. As daylight began to fade, the "Legal Eagles" lined out in the final against Gerard Farrelly & Co., win- ners of the competition for the previous t wo years. The Law Society opened the scoring with a fine goal f r om Pat O'Neill. However, shortly after the start of the second half, Gerard Farrelly & Co. equalised with a deflected shot. The scene was set for an ex- citing finale, but straight from the restart the game was put beyond doubt with the finest goal of the competition, scored by Charles Burke. The solicitors had got their just per cent! The Irish Nationwide Building Society Perpetual Trophy was presented to Dan Murphy on behalf of the Law Society. The Law Society team consisted of the following: Pat O'Neill (Fitzpatrick, Ludlow & Son), Jo Ebbs (Fitzpatrick, Ludlow & Son), Ray Noone (Kelly & Co.), John Kilroy (Kilroy & Co.), J. J. Cummins (Cum- mins, Daly & Co.), Charles Burke (Hanby, Wallace & Co.) and Dan Murphy (Hanby, Wallace & Co.). The Younger Members Commit- tee would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank the IAVI for their kind invitation to participate and re- mind you all of the Law Society Mixed Soccer Blitz in aid of the

Solicitors Benevolent Fund on the 5th September. See you all there! Dan Murphy, Younger Members Committee.
