Apologies
The club would like to send out apologies to anyone who
was inconvenienced in any way with the cancelling of hurling on the green on
Thursday last. The Irish weather was the main reason for this and it was out of
our hands completely with the amount of rain that fell on the day. We are hoping
to see better weather conditions this Wednesday.
Under 10
The U10 panel travelled to Thurles, Co. Tipperary on
Saturday 18th July to take part in the Munster U10 Hurling blitz. This was
played in Dr Morris Park which is right beside Semple Stadium. First game on
the day was against Scariff Ogonnelloe from Co. Clare and the lads won this one
well. Second up was Doon from Co. Limerick, this was a much tougher game but
the lads dug in and came away with a one point victory. Last game was against
Cork's Lisgoold and again we played very well and made it three out of three on
the day. The emphasis of the blitz was participation, improve skill levels and
fun and all three were achieved. Well done to the boys on the effort put in,
thanks to the parents who travelled and a special thanks to Paschal for
refereeing the games. Also thanks to Shane Briggs who took a training session
with the boys on Friday evening, this was something different for the boys and
they enjoyed it too. We take a break for a few weeks now to enjoy holidays and
recharge the batteries and a text will be sent out a couple of days before we
come back.

Under 13
We took on Fourmilewater in the Under 13 Western Hurling
Championship on Wednesday night last. After playing very well on the night it
was the visitors who came away with victory and while we lost the game the lads
gave it everything on the night. We also played on Monday night of this week in
this championship against St. Pat’s but the result of this match was not
available at the time of going to print but will be included in next week’s
notes.
Under 14
Our Under 14 hurlers took on a very strong Ballygunner team
in the first round of the Under 14 County Championship on Monday night of last
week. Again a loss here was the result but everyone was full of praise for our
boys on the night. They fought tooth and nail throughout before losing out by a
goal. Well done to all who played on the night.
Under 16
Our Under 16s play their second game of the County Championship
on this Wednesday night against Tramore. After losing in the first round a win
here is a must if we have ambitions of qualifying for the knockout stages of
the championship.
Minor Hurling
Our minor hurling team also played their second game of
the county championship on Sunday night last against Mount Sion. On the night
we were too strong for our opponents and came away with victory. Our next match
at this age group is on Wednesday night next against Clann na Gael.
