Teamers
Teamer.net,
the service we use to contact players about team events is now only allowing
each team to have 200 free texts per month. It is vital when you receive a
teamer that you respond straight away so as it does not cost your manager
money. Also if you have given your email address the teamer notification will
automatically go to your email because it is still free so please check your
emails as well. We ask all our members
for their cooperation in this so as to keep our running costs down.

Under 13/14
We
played Lismore in the Western Feile hurling final last Monday in Cappoquin. A
very strong Lismore side started very well and had a good lead at half time.
Our lads battled well in the second half but Lismore were convincing winners
and go on to represent the west in the county Feile final.

U11/ U12
This
week it was the turn of the U 11’s in their hurling league. We travelled to
Tallow to play Cois Brid. This was a very good competitive game of hurling with
a high standard through out. Our lads were always just holding slight advantage
to win by 5pts 1-6 to 3-5. Our second team travelled to Ballinameela to play
St. Olivers. This was a very low scoring game and we lost out 2-0 to 0-2. Next
matches in the age group is away to both Dungarvan and St. Pats on Friday 4th
May.
This
week our two U12 teams play Cois Brid and Ardmore on Friday evening in
Abbeyside.
Under 16
Our
under 16 boys had a very busy week on Monday night. They played Dungarvan in the
Dungarvan club grounds. The weather on the night was atrocious. The boys never got into this game and
Dungarvan came out on top.
On
Saturday morning the boys made the trip down to Gaultier. This was a vital game
for the boys as they badly needed a win, the weather once again on this
occasion was not the best with the lads playing into a strong wind in the first
half but to be fair to the boys they worked hard and came out on top at the
final whistle. Next Saturday morning the lads play at home to Roanmore with an
11.30 throw in.
Under 8
Our
under 8's went on tour on Saturday last to Dublin, leaving the club grounds at
8.30a.m to arrive in the big smoke at 11.30 for a tour of Croke Park. After the
tour we enjoyed a packed lunch overlooking the stadium in the kids’ cafe above
the Davin Stand. Back onto the bus heading for St. Jude’s of Templeogue, where
we played both hurling and football; making up two nine aside teams with great
team performances on show from both clubs. Thanks to St. Jude’s for their
hospitality in serving up teas, coffees, sandwiches, crisps and drinks for
their Waterford visitors and expressed much interested in a return match
sometime in the future. A huge thanks to our travelling parents, without their
support this event would not have been possible. Thanks also to Flynn’s buses
and to Tom our driver for the day. Thanks again to all involved and well done
to our under 8 squad who did their club proud both on and off the pitch.
Under 10
We
had a busy week with plenty of games:
We
played the under 11 town & country hurling league against St. Olivers on
Thursday night, this was a very close game and some good hurling.
We
travelled to Castlemartyr on Saturday morning for a football tournament, we
played three games in this tournament with our lads playing some good football
in all the games especially their last game where they showed great spirit. Our
goalie, Eoin Flynn made several brilliant saves on the day and we better be
careful that his dad’s premier league club don't send a scout. Our back line of
Ben O’Donovan, Jack Riordan, Sean O’Sullivan and Daniel Treen played very well.
Our midfield trio DJ Kiely, Colin Foley and Alec Norris delivered some great
ball and worked very hard and our forwards took some great scores with the
dominant Niall Buckley, Jamie Moylan, Darragh Slevin, Tadgh Collins and of
course Tony Dwyer who was outstanding. We would like to thank the organisers for an enjoyable tournament.
We
are out this Saturday in the Carriganore football tournament where the throw in
is at 11am.
