If anyone is
interested in having their child join our club, we would invite them to come
out to the pitch and speak with the coaches who will be happy to answer any
questions you might have.
We would also
encourage any of our existing young members to bring a friend with them to
their next training session and they can see at first hand what our club can
offer them.
Walk a Mile, Share a Smile Update
Just
to remind everyone that we are still walking every Monday evening at 6.30pm.
Participants fill in an envelope at Centra and show whether they wish to
contribute to the Juvenile GAA or SERT. The fee is €1 a mile and the walk is
from Centra, out the New Line, down by St. Augustine's College in Duckspool and
in the Burgery and back to Centra, which is just about 2 miles, so the cost per
walk would be €2.
The
organised walk takes place each Monday at 6.30pm but people can walk anytime
they wish. We will keep a record of the people walking and a chart will be
available after a few weeks. That’s the reason for writing your name on the
envelope.
So far, over €600 has been collected for our
club, well done and thanks to all and....keep on walking!
Harty Cup
Last Sunday was an historic day for Waterford
hurling as Coláistí na Déise became Harty Cup champions for the first time ever with a fantastic
display against Nenagh CBS. The lads were quick out of the blocks and led the
game early on; a lead they would never relinquish. In an extremely tough and
whole hearted match, there were some brilliant passages of play and they ran
out deserving winners on a scoreline of 2-14 to 1-10. Well done to all players
involved, particularly our club members Eamon Crotty, Evan Collins, David
Collins, Laurence Power and Brian Looby. This is a marvellous achievement for
these lads and they progress now to an All Ireland semi final.
Under 9's
Last Saturday our under 9’s were in action
again, one team travelling to Ballinameala for a blitz and one team going to
Kilgobnet. They played 4 games each against all the local clubs and performed
excellently in all matches. The panel that travelled to Kilgobnet were William
Beresford, Seamus O’Sullivan, David Byrne, Oisin O’Riordan, Conor Kent, John
Joe Queally, Mark Sheehan.
The panel that went to Ballinameela were Rian
Walsh, Kevin Keohan, Seanie Lenihan, James Murray, Sean Lanigan, Adam Carroll
Lawlor, Joe Flynn, Jack Ahearne.
Well done to all players and many thanks to the
parents who travelled.

Under 13/14
Last
week we our under 13 campaign started off. This year we have two teams in this
championship again. We played Clashmore at home in Div 1 and ran out convincing
winners. 7-12 to 0-2. Our other team travelled to Ardmore where the game was
much more competitive. Ardmore started well and had a good lead after 10
mins. Our boys competed well after the slow start and there was very
little in it at half time and 10 mins into the second half there was only a
point in it. Ardmore fought back and got 2 quick goals and finished the
stronger to win the game 6-11 to 3-7.
Last
Sunday our Div 3 team were in action at home to Ballyduff Upper. Ballyduff started the stronger and we were 4
pts down after 10 mins. Our lads settled down and the sides we level at half
time. In the second half we become more and more competitive and had some great
passages of play to recorded a 4-3 to 1-7 win.
Next
week we switch to under 14 football. We also have 2 teams in this championship.
33 different players got a lot of game experience at under 13 over the last 2
weeks which will help them all develop for the future. All players will be notified of times and venues
during the week. Training 6:45pm Wednesday.
