Congratulations to our intermediate footballers and management team on their impressive 5-6 to 1-7 win over Sliabh gCua in the County Football League Division 4 Final played in Colligan on Saturday night last, 24th May. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, the lads led by two points at the interval. A powerful second thirty minutes ensured victory and a first piece of silverware of the year.

Academy Update
Our academy for boys aged 5 to 10 continues every Saturday morning from 10am. There’s no better way for children to learn the skills of our games, build friendships, and have fun – so come along any Saturday and you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome.
 
Under 11
We continue to field two teams in the Déise Óg games series, and last week the boys donned their gumshields and gloves for some great football action. On Monday, a panel travelled to Lismore to take on the hosts and An Ghaeltacht, while on Tuesday, another group headed for Carrickbeg to face St. Molleran's. Both evenings were thoroughly enjoyable and offered valuable game time for all involved.
Come the weekend, it was out with the hurleys and helmets as we welcomed St. Mary’s (Clonmel) to the Burgery. The boys played two competitive and entertaining matches against the Tipperary side. Having the chance to test themselves against teams from outside the county over the last couple of weeks has been a fantastic experience, and we look forward to more of the same during the summer – both home and away.
 
Under 12
Like the U11s, the U12 boys are enjoying a great mix of hurling and football. On Friday evening, Tramore visited the Burgery and the Ballinacourty lads delivered a fine display of skill and teamwork.
Sunday brought a big day out as two teams travelled to Midleton for hurling games against their Cork hosts. Both Abbeyside teams played really well in breezy conditions and had a brilliant time. For many, there was just enough time to refuel before making the trip to Páirc Uí Chaoimh to cheer on clubmates Conor and Mikey in the Cork vs Waterford Munster Championship clash. A long day – but a memorable one!
 
Under 14
The U14 footballers followed up their win over Gaultier with another impressive victory, this time against a strong Lismore side in round three of the Division 1 Championship. A combination of solid teamwork and sharp finishing up front helped secure a 4-07 to 3-07 win. They now look ahead to their round four clash with Rathgormack on Monday, 26th May. Best of luck, lads – keep it going!
Our U14 second team had no fixture last week and will sit out this week as well. They’re awaiting a rescheduling of their round one match, and in the meantime, it’s back to training.
 
Under 16
The U16 hurling championship is just around the corner, and preparations are well underway. The boys had a strong outing in a challenge match against Fourmilewater in Ballymac on Sunday morning, and they’re eagerly anticipating competitive games ahead.
 
Poc Fada Champion
Huge congratulations to Seán Óg O'Regan, who recently won the County U16 Poc Fada and will now represent us at the Munster competition. A fantastic achievement – well done, Seán Óg!
 
Young Whistlers
The GAA’s Young Whistlers programme certifies boys and girls aged 16 and older to referee Go-Games (U12 and younger) in both hurling and football. With a significant shortage of referees in Waterford, this initiative offers a valuable pathway for young people to get involved.
We’re proud to have several young members who’ve completed the course and are now regularly officiating our Go-Games fixtures. They bring excellent knowledge of the game, apply the rules fairly, and—perhaps most importantly – have a great rapport with the young players.
Supporting young referees is vital for the future of our games, and it’s important that we all do our part in treating referees, young and old, with the respect they deserve.
Thanks to all our young whistlers – we’ll be keeping you busy this summer!

U7
Well done to our mighty U7's who made the most of the sunshine on Saturday morning as they took part in a hurling blitz in Bushy Park. They had a great time and played some fine hurling! Well done boys!

U7 Hurlers at Bushy Park Blitz
 
U11
Midleton travelled to the Burgery on Saturday morning to play hurling against our U11's. The field is in prime condition thanks to the weather and the crew that maintain it so well, this meant that the boys were able to play fantastic hurling, both on the ground and in the air. Well done all. The lads switch to football this week in the Déise Óg programme. Half of the group will be travelling to Lismore on Monday while the other half head in the opposite direction to Carrickbeg to play Molleran's.
 
U14
Both of our U14 football teams continued their championship last Wednesday evening. The division 1 boys played really well and beat Gaultier in the Burgery while the division 5A boys also played well but lost out to Ballyduff Upper. Monday (19th May) sees the division 1 team take on Lismore (away) and the division 5A team host St. Olivers. Good luck lads.
 
County Duty
Well done to Colm Kiely and Waterford U16 football team mates on making it two wins from two in their championship (the O'Donovan Cup). They had a comprehensive victory over Kilkenny at the weekend with Colm lining out at corner back. We also had a number of boys in action with the U14 county football panels on Saturday in Carlow.
 
Sponsorship Announcement
We in the club are very grateful to Michael Morrissey of Riverside Veterinary Hospital for the very generous sponsorship of two sets of Ballinacourty jerseys. They look fantastic and will be worn with pride by our young footballers into the future. This is a great example of supporting children’s sport in our community and it's truly appreciated. We ask that you support Riverside and go to them in Kilrush with all your pet and vet needs!

U11
It was a busy week for our U11 panel because as well as their regular training sessions, they travelled to Tallow on Monday (5th May) to play Cois Bríd in a well contested game of hurling. Three days later they welcomed Ferrybank and Clashmore to the Burgery and again the games were well contested and the boys really enjoyed them. Back to training on Monday and Thursday for the boys and they look forward to welcoming Midleton for a hurling challenge on Saturday morning.
 
U12
Like the U11's, the U12 boys are busy with the Déise Óg programme of games.  On a beautiful Friday evening (9th May) half the panel travelled to Passage to play in a very hotly contested game of hurling while the other half of the group made the shorter journey out to Bushy Park to take on the Brickey Rangers.  The ground was hard, the grass was short and the sliotar was flying. Well done boys.
 
U14
On Wednesday (7th April) we had two teams, with 38 boys in total, togged out to play the U14 Football Championship. The division 1 boys were away to Stradbally and although they battled well, they didn't come away with the victory. The boys in division 5A headed for Clashmore and after an excellent game of football, they finished all square with the hosts. This coming Wednesday (14th May) sees the division 1 team host Gaultier and the division 5A team hit for Ballyduff Upper. Best of luck!
 
U16
Our U16 panel continues to prepare for their upcoming hurling championship and over the last two weekends have played three challenge matches against Ardmore, St. Olivers and Ballygunner. The championship is only around the corner so keep it going boys.
 
Coach Development
Our enthusiastic coaches are always hungry for knowledge and looking for ways to help our young hurlers and footballers develop their skills and enjoy our games. Continuing our series of coach development workshops, we held two further workshops over the past weekend where Joey Doherty, Head of Performance and Talent for Waterford GAA, took our coaches through the importance of athletic development and how to incorporate it into our coaching sessions in a way that children will enjoy it. The workshops were very well attended and it was good to see the collaboration and sharing of ideas amongst the groups. We look forward to facilitating further workshops as the year progresses.
