Under 8 / 9
The U9's took part in the annual Roanmore Charity Blitz
on Saturday 13th. 132 teams entered this year, the biggest entry in its 19
years. We split our panel in two, and group one started at 1pm in glorious
sunshine against Douglas from Cork followed by a match with
Rathgarouge/Cushinstown of Wexford. Last up was O'Loughlin Gaels from Kilkenny.
After three close games the boys came out on top in all playing great ground
hurling throughout.
Panel: Daniel Morrissey, Darragh Walsh, Darragh

Donnell, Kieran Cosgrave, Sean Walsh.

Group two were up at half two with a game against
Rathgarouge/Cushinstown’s second team. Then we met familiar opponents in the
next game, Fourmilewater and finally Cork opposition in the form of Inniscarra.
With group one performing so well the boys wanted to match them and duly they
did winning all their games also.
Panel: Sean Walsh, Sean Queally, Kyle Moloney, Jake
Fitzgerald Drummy, Jack O Donovan, Conor Gough, Cormac Dunne Fitzgerald, Cathal
Sweeney, Brian Callaghan, Billy O Connell.

Well done to our lads, they played fabulous hurling on
the day and proved ground hurling is not a thing of the past, and done the club
proud. Big thanks goes to Roanmore for the invite and running a brilliant
blitz, as you can imagine organising 132 teams must have been some headache,
but manage it they did. Finally all of us wish Aodhan Barret a speedy recover
from illness, hope to see him back training soon.
Our under 8s also took part in this competition with a
report coming next week.
