Medal
Presentation
There was a large attendance at
Ballinroad Hall last Friday night for our medal presentation for our successful
teams of 2015. The teams that were represented on the night were our Under 13
team, our Under 14 team, our Under 15 team and lastly our Under 16 team of
2015. It was a fantastic to see so many young hurlers and footballers from our
club pick up so many medals. There was also a huge turnout of parents on the
night which made the occasion all the more special for the lads that were
collecting medals. Our medals this year were presented by two very loyal
clubmen, Austin Flynn who won an All Ireland medal with Waterford in 1959 and
of course current Footballer of the Year in Waterford Patrick Hurney. We would especially
like to thank these two gentlemen for taking time out of their busy schedules
to be present with us on the night. We would also like to thank Tomas Kiely who
acted as MC and as usual he went very professionally about his business. Also
thanks must go to our Secretary Audrey Hallahan and Chairman Joe Cleary who put
in great work to make sure everything ran smoothly during the event and
decorating the hall before the event etc. However they were not alone and we
would also like to say thanks a million to all the parents who brought along
refreshments on the night and of course our wonderful ladies committee who as
usual were brilliant at catering to such a big crowd and who helped tidy the
hall up afterwards. All in all this night was a great success and everyone
deserves a big pat on the back.
Under
16
Our Under 16 team began training
again last night Tuesday (2nd February) and they will continue to
train every Tuesday for the foreseeable future.
Membership
Membership for 2016 for our juvenile
players is now due. We ask for parents to co-operate with us and pay the
membership as soon as possible. This is to make sure that all players are
insured as if they are not members they are not insured which is outside our
control.
Under 11
Under
11 football training continues this Friday night between 6 and 7 pm. New
members are always welcome and membership forms will be handed out on the
night.
Underage Outdoor Hurling
The
underage outdoor hurling season is nearly upon us again. The season starts on
February 20th 2016 for anyone between the ages of 5 and 10. New members are
always welcome and hurleys and helmets will be available on this date for new
members. These sessions will be weekly on a Saturday morning between 10.30 am
and 11.30. The next two Saturdays after this date which are February 27th and
March 5th will be allocated as membership days where we hope to collect all the
membership for the relevant age groups.
