Soccer — Sol icitors Get Their Just
Per Cent
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!
