A Chairde,
Welcome to December’s edition of the Oryx Observer. We hope everyone had a great Novem-
ber and you are all looking forward to the well deserved holidays just around the corner.
Off the pitch, the team weekend bonding trips were a great success and we have included a
few photos of the weekend in the newsletter. On the pitch, the training intensity has been
upped as our Intermediate Men will make the trip to Oman in January for the weekend of the
18th. Our Senior Men and Ladies will do the same trip a week later. Find out how they got on
in February's edition. In the Tournaments section, check out the fixtures that are ahead in
2019.
In our Sponsor section we look at Hydroserv. It is their generous support, as with all our spon-
sors, that allows us to keep moving forward in a positive way.
Answers to last month’s very long quiz is in The Dugout section along with a fresh winter brain
teaser. All info for Thursday’s highly anticipated Christmas Party is inside too.
We would like to wish everyone who is travelling home and beyond a very safe trip. Enjoy the
quality time with family and friends and we will be ready to go again in January!
Please get in touch with a club committee member if you have any queries or would like
something added to next month’s newsletter.

Our Ladies got their weekend off to a start with a tough training session. Following
this, they made their way to Doha Sports Park with their tents. The yoga was out in
full swing the next morning to set them up for the day.
Our Men’s Team Building Weekend
The men’s weekend started off with an early training session in the Rugby Club
working on drills and tactics. This was followed by an intense CrossFit session in
the gym where they were divided into teams and put through their paces! Once
this concluded, they all headed straight for the desert towards Zekreet to camp
overnight. When the tents were pitched and the fire was lit - some sang songs,
some told terrible jokes while others opted for a bit of stand-up.
What’s on in Doha?

The hurling and camogie players took part in their Christmas session in Oryx Interna-
tional school last Thursday. The second session took part in the Rose and Thistle later
that night with some tough work put in! The popular pub will offer 10% discount
when a club member presents their Qatar GAA digital membership card at the bar.
Well done to Colman and the rest of the players for a great year again. See you all in
2019!
