Minor Football
On Sunday last we played our second game in the county minor football championship. In near unplayable conditions our lads played some good football and came away with a battling win. Our next match at this level will be this Sunday morning when we take on Dungarvan in a rescheduled fixture and we wish these lads the best of luck.

Bishopstown Visit
It was brilliant to see so many underage players from under 8 upwards turn out at our club grounds on Sunday morning last for a trip from Bishopstown in conjunction with their trip to the Waterford - Cork National Hurling League game at the Fraher Field. Conditions were awful on the day with wind and rain being to the forefront. It was remarkable that any games could be played in such awful conditions. While the under 8s were disappointed that their match had to be called off due to the rain the three games of under 12s and two games of mixed under 9s and 10s that went ahead were very skilful matches indeed in the weather conditions. Every ball was fought for like their lives depended on it. To the parents of the under 8s we must apologise for the late notice in calling the under 8 match off but this was outside our control. To everyone else we must thank you all for coming out and playing and even though everyone went home cold everyone seemed to go home happy.

Indoor Hurling
Again hurling indoor training continues this Friday night at the Friary College hall starting with the five and six year olds at 6 pm. Helmets will once again be on sale for anybody interested in purchasing one.

Fun Table Quiz
The juvenile club is running a fun family table quiz on the 24th March in Minnies beginning at 3pm. This promises to be a fantastic event and certainly not one to be missed. This quiz is aimed at families where both adults and children can get involved and where fun is the most important aspect.

Congratulations
It was great to see the two local schools reach all Ireland Finals at the weekend. Congratulations to both the Friary and the CBS on their wins and especially our club representatives.
