U10
Over the last few days we played a couple of challenge matches as we prepare for the Ballyduff Upper Festival of U10 Hurling. First up was Mount Sion, on a beautiful evening in Abbeyside where, after a slow start we played much better in the second half. This is a very good Mt. Sion team and a good learning curve for our lads. Then onSaturday morning just gone we travelled to Lismore, again a lovely morning for hurling. A great game was played by both clubs and you could see that the lads learned from the Mt. Sion game, with improvements all round the pitch. A couple more training sessions before Ballyduff (which is starting for us on Saturday 23rd) and we'll be well prepared for the tournament and we'll give it a right go. We are due to play De La Salle, Fourmilewater and Sarsfield. If we come out of the group we'll be playing the semi-final the following week. Also coming up we have an U10 Western Football Tournament. Dates for your diary regarding the football are: May 27th in Ballinameela,June 10th in Kilrossanty and June 24th in Cappoquin.
