Minor Hurling
Our
Minor Hurlers played Erins Own at home last Monday evening in what was a great
game of hurling. A great team performance was put in from all and Abbeyside
edged home with a win on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-12. This game doubled up as
the Kieran Lennon Memorial Cup. Tony Mansfield presented the cup to team
captain Eoin Bergin after the game and for the second year The Kieran Lennon
Memorial Cup stayed in the village. Our Minor hurlers are out again this
Wednesday evening when they play Clonea in Clonea.
U16 Hurling
Our
U16 game against Sacred Heart was once again cancelled on Wednesday last as
Sacred Heart were unable to field a team.
Under 13 &14
We
had a very busy time last week in this age group. Tuesday evening our near
neighbours travelled over from Dungarvan on a very wet and miserable night,
this was a very competitive game played with high intensity and was close for
the first 15 minutes, with both teams exchanging a few points. We then made the
break through and got two goals before half time. In the second have we added
two more to come away with a 4-6 to 0-7 win. Thursday night saw both of our
under 14 teams in action. We played Mt. Sion in division 1 in Waterford. We got
off to a quick start here and were always holding an advantage. It finished 0-6
to 2-7. Our second team hosted St. Mollerans and after a few false starts in
this division and a few walkovers this team finally got to play hurling. Both
teams were evenly matched throughout. Our boys started to get on top mid way
through the second half and came away with a 3-9 to 3-2 win.
