Juvenile Notes - 25th November

Under 15 Hurling

The final under age fixture for the year in the club was concluded on Sunday morning last with a 3-7 to 0-8 win for our Under 15 hurlers against Roanmore, to win the Division 1 County Title. This was a close contest for most of the game with us leading by a point at half time. In the second half our lads played some wonderful hurling to win well in the end. Well done to all the players and mentors that were involved. A word of thanks must go to the parents of the team for their support throughout the year driving to training and to matches etc. Everyone can now enjoy a short break before play for this group resumes early in the New Year.

A big thank you must go to all the teachers involved in our parish schools who put so much time and effort into the promotion of our national games in their respective schools.

Under 15 Hurling

On Sunday morning last we travelled to Old Parish for the Western Under 15 Hurling Final against a gallant St Oliver’s outfit. There was a late venue change as the Fraher Field had played host to many games over the previous twenty four hours. It was a very windy morning in Old Parish and conditions for hurling were far from ideal. However from the start our lads adjusted better to the conditions and over the hour played some good hurling. We won on a score line of 5-9 to St Oliver’s 0-7 in the end. Well done to everyone on the panel and to the selectors who have given up much of their valuable time to help this group over the years. We now go on next Sunday morning to face Roanmore in the County Final at an Eastern venue which has yet to be decided. Good luck to all involved again.

Western U15 Division 1 Hurling Champions

Congratulations to our U15 panel and management team on their fantastic 5-9 to 0-7 victory over St. Oliver's in the Western U15 Division 1 Hurling Final at Old Parish this morning. Played in extremely difficult weather and underfoot conditions, the lads led 1-6 to 0-4 at half time. This win completes a divisional double at this grade, the football title secured earlier in the year. The County Final takes place on Sunday next against Roanmore. The venue and time will be confirmed during the week.

On Friday night last we took on Stradbally in the County Final in Fraher Field where unfortunately we suffered a two point defeat. Whilst naturally all involved with the team were heartbroken at the full time whistle the players and management team can be assured that all in the club are very proud not alone of the performance given by the team on the night but of their performances throughout the year. The majority of the team line out in both codes for the club and continue to give wonderful commitment to the club, which we are most grateful for. Hopefully we will see them all back in action in 2016 challenging for honours yet again.

Junior Football

Our Junior Footballers lifted the spirits of the Club on Saturday afternoon last when they defeated a gallant Bonmahon side to claim the County Title in Stradbally. Both teams are to be commended for serving up such a good game of football in such difficult underfoot conditions, a great credit must go to our players for the fine displays of football they gave all year. This was our first year back in this Championship after taking a break from it for a number of years and the management team of Pat O’Brien and Pat Keane did fantastic work all year keeping the team going. After the game Conor O’Dwyer as team captain accepted the cup from Sean Michael O’Regan.

Camogie Notes - 11th November

U13 Camogie County Final

On Saturday, 18th October the U13 Camogie girls made history by becoming the first Camogie team in Abbeyside to win a county title. The Abbeyside Camogie Club was founded 5 years ago and Saturday’s victory was the result of the time and effort put in by the girls. The girls started well with an early goal which helped to calm the nerves; throughout the game the girls worked extremely hard displaying a high skill level. There were scenes of jubilation at the final whistle when the scoreboard showed that Abbeyside had won their first county title in Camogie. The girls then went to the Park Hotel to celebrate the victory. Thanks to the county board for giving the girls the opportunity to play in the Fraher Field. The club would like to thank the girls for the efforts they put in to training over the last 5 years and to all of the parents who helped out throughout the year.

We would also like to congratulate the Abbeyside U13 Footballers on their recent victory over St. Pat’s in the county final.

County Junior Football (Intermediate Attached) Champions

Congratulations to our Junior footballers and management team on their comprehensive 4-6 to 0-6 victory over Bunmahon in the County Junior Football (Intermediate Attached) Final played at Stradbally this afternoon. This is our first county title at this grade and a great vindication of the decision to field a third adult football team for the first time in a number of years.
