U14
We played Brickies in Bushy in the Feile
Football last Wednesday evening. This was a competitive game and we came away
with the win. We now meet Naomh Brid in the Western Final of this competition
Wednesday 3rd April. Our second team played in a western semi -
final away to Ballyduff Upper last Sunday. This was played in very poor weather
conditions but despite this the lads played their hearts out with some
excellent football but were unable to peg back the good lead Ballyduff had
built in the first half.

Congratulations
and the Best of Luck
Heartiest congratulations to everyone
involved with the Friary College on their All Ireland victory last weekend.
This was a very battling performance which was played in Newbridge in County
Kildare. The final score was 2 -8 to 0-10. This is a tremendous achievement for
all involved because All Ireland medals in football in Waterford are rare. A
special word must be given to our own players involved on the team who are
namely Michael Maher, Conor Prunty, Kevin Dwane, Eoin Kiely, Kevin Dee, Eamonn
Crotty and specially Brian Looby who captained the team. It is heart warming to
see so many of our players with these coveted medals at such a young age.
It is for some of these players however
straight back into action this weekend in the pursuit of another All Ireland
medal, this time on the hurling field. We would like to wish Colaiste Dun
Garbhain the very best of luck in the All Ireland Croke Cup Final at Thurles
this weekend. This is colleges hurling of the highest standard and the skill
levels this team have shown from the beginning of the year has been remarkable
and hopefully they can finish the job this weekend. Support would be greatly
appreciated. The players on this panel from Abbeyside are Brian Looby, Eamonn
Crotty, Sean Daly, Conor Prunty and Laurance Power.
Get Well Soon
Everyone in the club wishes Eoin Kiely a
speedy recovery after breaking his ankle playing for The Friary at the weekend.
Eoin is a very talented hurler and footballer and we hope to see him running
around again soon.
