Well done to all involved.

Juvenile Notes - 11th June

Under 8

Our under 8 hurling team travelled to Carriganore on Saturday morning last to take part in a ground hurling blitz. After some great performances from the team we came away winning two matches and losing one by the narrowest of margins. Great improvement has been seen in this group in recent weeks and we thank all the lads and parents for travelling on Saturday. As we always say without the support of the parents these enjoyable days out would not be possible.

Under 14

Pride and place this week yet again goes to our under 14 hurling team after they claimed another western championship after a great victory against a gallant Lismore outfit on Saturday morning last at the Fraher Field. This game was right in the melting pot up until the final whistle. Indeed Lismore lead by 4 points with 14 minutes remaining and playing with a strong breeze. However our boys dug deep in the last quarter to come away with a four point win. Well done to all.
