Under 13
& 14
We played De La Salle in the third round of the under 14 hurling
championship a fortnight ago. This was a competitive and low scoring game where
we came away with a win 0-8 to 0-3.
We then travelled to Cappoquin to play them in the fourth round of the
under 14 hurling championship last Monday evening. We held a few point
advantage for most of the game, when we got two goals mid way through the
second half it sealed the game for us to record the win 1-5 to 2-10.

Under 12
Our under 12’s had a day to remember last Tuesday where they travelled
to Croke Park to play in a football blitz. We played three other teams from
around Munster JK Brackens, Oola and Kildorrery. These were very good games
with each of the 20 player panel getting plenty opportunity to show their skill
on the big stage. After the games and photo shoot, it was time to get the tour
of the stadium and a briefing of the history of both the GAA and the
stadium. On our way back we stopped in
Carlow for refreshments and bowling. This was a very enjoyable day which most
of the kids will remember for a long time.

some very good football and went on to
record a good win 3-5 to 4-13.

Under 10
We travelled to Ballyhale last Saturday to participate in this prestige hurling
tournament the Awlyard Cup. The standard of hurling was very high by all the
teams with our lads performing very well on the day. We played Thomastown in
the first game where we fought very hard only to lose out by a single point,
the ball went everywhere except over the post and even though our lads were
disappointed after the game the gathered themselves to beat Ballycallan in the
2nd game which put them through to the final of the shield. The lads really
excelled in the final to win comfortably 7-4 to 2-3 against Carrickshock, we
had some great performances in the final and playing in a tournament like this
certainly helps in bringing on these lads for the future, as they play against
different teams with a different style of hurling. The team on the day was Jack
Riordon, Sean Sullivan, Ben O Donovan, Daniel Treen, Colin Foley, Darragh
Slevin, DJ Kiely, Tadgh Collins, Eoin Flynn, Niall Buckley, Alec Norris, Jamie
Moylan, Tony Dwyer. We would like to thank Ballyhale for the invitation and
their hospitality on the day and also compliment them on their efficient
running of the tournament.
We have a hurling league for the next three Monday evenings, all players
will be notifed by teamer of the fixture.
