Under 12
Last
Friday saw the final night of the under 12 Football League. We played Dungarvan
in Dungarvan. We played with a lot of determination from the start and notched
up some quick goals with some of the opening plays. At half time we switched
our forwards and backs and rotated our subs throughout. This was a strong
display by the Ballinacourty boys.
Panel: Shane Kiely, Daithi Brunnock, Johnny Treen,
Meldan Dwyer, Jamie Walsh, Michael Kiely, Senan Travers, Patrick Fitzgerald,
Jake O’Riordan, Dean Beresford, Eoin Ahearne, Ethan Raher, Michael Troy, Ben
Flynn, Oisin Hallahan and Sean Roche.
Harty Cup
Coláistí na nDéise continued the defence of their Harty Cup crown with
victory over St. Caimins, Shannon on a scoreline of 3-12 to 0-11. This gives
the boys two wins from two games. Next up for the boys is St. Flannan’s of
Clare, next Wednesday the 17th. Well done to all of our club members
on the panel.
Under 10
We

Under 10 win St
Finbarr’s Hurling Tournament
Our
under 10's travelled last Saturday to St Finbarr’s in Cork for the John
'Bawnie' Mehegan Perpetual Hurling Tournament, this prestige tournament has
been run for the last three years where four clubs St Finbarr’s, Blackrock,
Durlas Óg, and Abbeyside had two equal teams of twelve competing and it is the
best aggregate of the two teams which counts on the day. We had to call on the
under 8's to make up the two teams as only four of the under 9's were available
on the day and my God did the nine and eight year olds step up to the mark. Both
our teams played the Rockies in the first game and we ran out winners in these
games. Our next opponents were Durlas Óg and again we had some great performances
here from all the players, where one of our teams won and the other had a draw.
Our last game was against the host team and both our teams dug team to run out
convincing winners. We then had the medal presentations to all the teams for
participating, then and our winning captains on the day Tony Dwyer and Colin
Foley received the John Mehegan Cup. Well done to all the players and
especially the younger ones which travelled on this most enjoyable day and the
experience gained can only help them develop in the future, thanks to Justin,
Michael and Eddie and to all the parents for travelling and a special thanks to
the Barrs for the invitation and the catering on a great day out.
Our panel for the day: Calum Beresford, Alec Norris, Eoin Flynn, Colin Foley, Tony Dwyer, Tadgh Collins, DJ Kiely, Jack Riordan, Niall Buckley, Jamie Moylan, Daniel Treen, Darragh Slevin, Sean O Sullivan, Ben O Donovan, Stephen Lake, William Beresford, Oisin O Riordan, Conor Kent, John Joe Queally, Jack McGrath, Eoin Kiely, Charlie Treen, Charlie Gough, Fergie Slevin, Michael Walsh, Edmond Spratt, Rian Cosgrove, Sean Callaghan, Thomas Nee.
