Juvenile Notes - 24th October


Langan Cup
On Saturday 20th October, our U8s hosted the Langan Cup, competing against the finest that Waterford and Cork had to offer in Mt. Sion from the east, Lismore from the west and representing Cork were St. Finbarr’s bringing two teams with them on the day. The games started at 11.30 with teams of 12 aside all to play each other in games of 16 mins per game. A total of 83 scores were witnessed throughout the tournament with fine individual and team performances on show for all to see. Abbeyside ran out winners on the day ensuring that they kept the silverware in the village for the next 12 months. Congrats lads and well done on a strong team effort. Many thanks must be given out to everybody involved starting with the referees Eoin Kiely and Eamon Crotty who were given late notice the night before but were delighted to help out. Thanks lads. Thanks to the parents yet again who supplied food for the travelling teams and to the mothers who served it up. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks to the club for supplying crisps and drinks for 80 children and to the teams that travelled from afar to make this event an enjoyable one. But most of all to the Langan family who was represented by Mary Rossiter, June McShane and June’s son Padraic and grandchildren Rosie, Sally and Sarah who presented to cup to the villagers on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Thanks to all involved on the day from the U8 squad.
