Under 10
We
travelled to Ballyduff last weekend to play in the Division 1 semi final of
their hurling tournament which is run on a yearly basis. Our semi final was
against Lismore and even though we played well, it was our opponents who ran
out winners in the end. We then played in the Shield, where our opponents were
Fermoy. Our lads upped the tempo in this game and we had some very good
performances and ran out good winners. We then played De La Salle and again our
team played very well to reach the final in the Shield. Our opponents in the
final were St Catherine’s from Wexford and this was a good game. Our lads
fought hard and played well to run out deserved winners. Well done to all the players
over the two weekends:Daniel Treen, Sean Sullivan, Jamie Moylan, Colin Foley,
Daire Slevin, Niall Buckley, Eoin Flynn, Ronan Foley, Tadgh Collins, Tony
Dwyer, D J Kiely, Jack Riordan, Ben O Donovan, Alec Norris. We would like to
thank Ballyduff for the invite as it is a very well run tournament and no doubt
we are seeing some county hurlers of the future.
We
have several tournaments coming up over the next few weeks with football
starting next Wednesday evening, details will be sent by teamer.
Ballinacourty
win Under 13 County Football Final
 |
| U13 County Football Champions |
Our
under 13’s travelled to Dunhill Saturday morning to play in the Football county
final against Gaultier. This was a very
competitive match, we had to play into a breeze in the first half and despite
having a lot of possession we trailed at half time 0-3 to 0-1. We started the
second half with a lot of determination; we matched Gaultier point for point.
We took a further setback half way through the second half when Gualtier got a
goal to put us four points behind; 1-5 to 0-4. A bit like the Western final our
lads really dug deep and got three quick
points and followed this with a goal of our own and finished winners 1-5 to
1-9. This was a great team win where all of the panel played their part. This
was the first under 13 county championship for the club since the under 13
championship structure changed last year.
A word of thanks to all the parents and supporters who travelled to
Dunhill and back to McDonalds afterwards for the celebration.
Panel: Aaron Beresford, Tommy Walsh, Shane Ahearne,
Sean Whelan Barrett, Sean Crotty, David Montgomery, Mark Twomey, Padraig Moore, Bearach Moore,
Gearoid Hallinan Capt, Tom Looby, Jack
Kiely, Jamie Walsh, Shane Kiely, James Riordan, Daithi Brunnock, Fionn Gibson Kiely, Ben Flynn, John Power, Johnny Treen, Dean
Beresford.
There
is no rest for the under 13 players as they will have played the first round of
the Under 13 western hurling Championship by the time of reading these notes
(both divisions) on Monday evening 4th
against Brickies and Ardmore.
Our
Under 14’s played Ardmore in the Western Hurling semi (div 3) last Wednesday
evening. With this fixture clashing with the county finals of the primary
schools running and with one or two players sick we had the bare 13 players. We
played very well into the wind but in the second half we conceded a number of
goals and Ardmore came away with the win and proceed to the western final on 16th
June. This was great experience for a lot of our younger players and will
benefit them in the future.
Panel: Padraig Moore, Bearach Moore, Tiernan Fagan,
Jamie Walsh, Tommy Walsh, Jake O’Riordan, Fergal Roche, Shane Kiely, James
O’Riordan, Johnny Power, Meldan Dwyer, Sean Kent.

Our
under 11’s played Lismore, in Lismore in the Town and country league last
Monday. This was a tremendous game of hurling throughout, there was nothing between
the two teams all the way, in the end Lismore held on for a one point win 3-8
to 3-7. The positive thing is we were invited back to an under 11 tournament
hosted in Lismore on the 16 June. We play Youghal in the final round of this
league on Wednesday night.
