U14
Last Wednesday evening in Walsh Park our
under 14’s had a memorable evening by qualifying to represent the county in
this year’s Feile hurling tournament by beating De Le Salle in the county
final. This was the last of four games we played to qualify. We played Dungarvan,
Lismore and the Brickeys along the way but the final was
a tremendous game against the Eastern winners.
From the throw in this game was played
at a high standard and high intensity with both teams really up for the
challenge. There was very little between the two teams throughout, with the
Abbeyside boys finishing the stronger to force a draw at full time. As a winner
was needed on the night, we played five minutes a side extra time, at the end
of the extra time both teams were still level. A second lot of extra time was
required. The city team went two points ahead as we went into the final few
minutes but our boys never gave up and finally got the score we needed, a super
goal to put us ahead. This turned out to be the final score of the game; 3-8 to
2-10. This was a super game of underage hurling where both teams really played
their hearts out, with tremendous spirit and without a malice strike in the
whole game. All players on both teams should be proud of themselves.
The only negative point of the game was
Tom Looby who received a leg injury. We would like to wish Tom a speedy
recovery.
This was a great achievement for the
players to qualify for both hurling and football Feile finals in the one year. This is first time ever in the club and only the third time ever in the
county. We are currently in the middle of fundraising and working out the
logistics of both trips. Update will be given to all players this week.
Minor
Our minor football team had two home
games in the last week. The first was against Gaultier and the second was
against Rathgormack. We played some good football in these games and won both
to qualify for the semi finals. The semi final will take place on this Saturday
coming in Bushy Park and we wish everyone involved well.
