34 Teams Compe te in Y MC So c c er Blitz

rock and roll music was provided by Paddy Goodwin and his band. Creche facilities and refreshments were available all day and the players and spectators if they were not engaged in watching or participating in the football matches could sit down at their leisure and listen to the fine music, while soaking up the sun. The two teams in the Final of the Cup - Dublin Corporation and Kent Carty - played a very close game, so close that it went to penalties, with Kent Carty emerging as eventual winners. In the final of the Plate, Reddy Charlton & McKnight played City Law, who were the victors in that game. Dermot Boyle and Adrian Taheny presented the prizes, both representing the Educational Building Society who were the very kind and generous sponsors of this tournament. We would hope for the repetition of this successful sponsorship venture by the EBS next year! After the final whistle, the activities were not yet over - a disco was held in the President's Hall later that evening. It too was a great success, with hot music, and even hotter action on the dance floor (no names mentioned - you know who you are yourselves!). One excuse offered was

the highly charged atmosphere which resulted in that night's thunder and lightning. Finally, a word of thanks must be given to the great effort and the hard work which was put into the whole event, both in the organising and the running of the competition, by the members of the Younger Members Committee especially Orla Coyne, Robert Hennessy and Joan Doran (the secretary of the YMC) without whose help the event would not have been the success that it was. Also thanks must be conveyed to the number of referees who were roped into refereeing the matches at different stages during the day but who did so with great humour and without hesitation. Roll on YMC Blitz 1993 - Olé, Olé, Olé! •

The mixed 7-a-side Soccer Blitz, organised by the Younger Members Committee of the Law Society, took place in Blackhall Place on Saturday 23 May last. The main aim of the Blitz is not only to encourage the participation of soccer teams from different offices but also to provide an occasion when a number of solicitors who might not encounter each other outisde office hours meet on a different playing pitch. A further benefit is the raising of funds success in that 34 teams entered and it was also decided to run not only a Cup Competition but also a Plate Competition for the losers. The day got off to a great start in that the weather was superb - unfortunately the same could not be said for some of the soccer exploits on the pitches! Play started at 10.15a.m. and continued until the final at 6.00p.m. There was great competition amongst the teams involved but the sense of fun was never lost. A Tennis Tournament took place simultaneously and there were some 20 entries, the ultimate winners being Ruth Shipsey and Tony O'Grady with Laura Booth and Patrick Molloy as runners-up. for The Solicitor's Benevolent Society.
