Under 10
After a busy few
months the playing year for the U10's is nearly over. August & September
saw us participate in the division one hurling league against Lismore,
Fourmilewater, Dungarvan & St. Pats. A couple of weeks ago we travelled to
Carriganore for matches organised by the Games and Development Committee. Here
we played De La Salle, Cois Bride & Clonea. Finally, weekend just gone
Ballybacon-Grange from Tipperary came to Abbeyside with their U10 panel where
we divided the squads to play two matches. A great afternoon's hurling was had
by all and thanks to Ballybacon-Grange for coming down, to our parents who
helped in anyway (serving teas, moving goals, bringing 'goodies' etc) Thanks to
James for refereeing and Audrey & Niamh for assistance they provided on the
day. To all, much appreciated. I'd like to take this opportunity to
congratulate my fellow coach, Richie and his U13 Camogie panel on their county
final win over Gaultier at the weekend. Well done to all. Training for the year
will continue Friday's 6 till 7 with us going into the hurling wall soon.
Nights Under Lights
Please note, next
Friday 23rd October, to mark the end of the season for some age groups, we will
be hosting a "Nights under Lights" for our underage groups of U8, U7,
U6 & U5. This will give the players an opportunity to have a game under
lights and experience the atmosphere of it.
As a result there will be NO training for any of these age groups on
Saturday 24th. This will be the last
training for the U5 & U6 age groups. U7 will continue on Saturday morning
until mid / end November (weather permitting). U8 will continue on Friday
nights to end of November (weather permitting). Mentors will keep you posted
via texts so please ensure you are receiving same, if not speak with your
mentor ASAP. Lastly, we would ask all travelling to the pitch on Friday night
to be vigilant when driving down to pitch and parking. Please adhere to the
instructions of those who will be controlling traffic as it will be dark
especially on departure. See you all from 7pm to 8pm and as usual the teas and
coffees will be available.
Under 15 Hurling
Our Under 15 hurling
team took on near neighbours Dungarvan on Sunday morning last in the Western Championship.
After a slow start our boys settled down to play some fine hurling on the
morning and come away with a comprehensive victory. Next up for this age group
is against Lismore on Sunday morning next at 11:00am.
