Mens Spotlight
Warwick Oudeman
Originally from just north of Brisbane, Austrailia,
Warwick adds a new edge to the Colmcilles. He has
played
Austrailian Rules football for a number of years and has adapted to
the 'round' ball extremely quickly, establishing himself as one of the key members
of the team. He prefers playing in midfield which is not unlike that of
'Ruck' in Ozzie rules. He possesses extensive experience with Austrailian Rules, both amatuer and professional - former teams include
Delorine Tasmania (NTFL), Harvey Bay Lions (WBBAFL), Caloundra Panthers (BAFL), and Nambour (Sunshine Coast).
Ladies Spotlight
Sínead Larkin
Síneads'
first competitive appearance for
the Colmcilles ladies team was the Brussels tournament 2002, and prefers any
role in defence. Some say she inherited her 'never say die' attitude from her home
town of Birr in Ireland, also home of a hurling
team which has enjoyed top level success on numerous occasions. Others say its
just a natural trait. Whichever
the case, this was a crucial factor when the ladies team notched up
their first victory during the Munich tournament in August 2002. Sínead
is also involved in the administrative activities of the club, as joint
secretary on the Colmcilles committee.
