Under
16
Our
Under16 Football team play their first championship game away to Tramore on St
Patrick’s Day morning in Tramore. This game is a re fixture as when they were
due to play two weeks ago it was postponed due to a water logged field in
Tramore.
Under 11
Under eleven hurling 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. The Town and Country Leagues
for this group of players starts in a few weeks time and hopefully all the training that this
group are doing will pay off when they begin.
St Patrick’s Day Parade
Our underage section will
be participating in this year's Dungarvan St Patrick’s Day Parade. We are
inviting all our underage players to walk with our group in the Parade. We will
be assembling at Garveys Service Station on Coolagh Road at 2.30pm. All players
should wear their club colours and bring their hurleys and helmets. We will
follow the route of the parade until we reach the traffic lights midway up
O'Connell Street (Walsh’s Spar). At this point we will turn right, heading
towards Dunnes & Aldi. Children can be picked up at this location @ approx 4pm.
All are welcome to participate.
Underage Hurling Sessions
Our weekly underage
training sessions on Saturday mornings from 10.30am to 11.30am are proving to
be a great success and we welcome back all previous players and say a Céad Míle
Fáilte to all our newcomers. Thank you to all the parents who have returned the
membership forms so far and we respectfully request any outstanding forms are
to be returned this Saturday to allow us to register all players with Croke
Park (for insurance purposes). Hurleys, Helmets & Junior Gum Shields can be
purchased from our Equipment Officer, Séan Fischer, on Saturday's and are very
competitively priced.

Féile Fundraiser
We held a fundraising
sponsored walk and run on Sunday evening last in the Ballinacourty area along
with the camogie club in aid of being a host club for Féile 2016. Luck was on
our side on the evening as the weather was beautiful for walking and as a
result we had a massive turnout. The juvenile club would like to thank all
those who helped on the evening in any small way including stewards on the
roads to make sure safety was a priority. We would also like to thank most
sincerely anybody who took part in the walk or run and anybody who dipped their
hands in their pockets and sponsored those partaking. Well done to all.
Minor Football
We took on Gaultir in the
second round of the Minor Football Championship on Sunday morning last in
Gaultir. On the morning we played some fabulous football at times and came away
with a comfortable enough victory. The next game for this group of players is
this Sunday morning at home to Rathgormack at 11.30.
Under 10 and 13
On Saturday morning last
our Under 10 team took part in a hurling blitz in Carriganore. This was our
first action of the year in this grade and all the boys that took part acquitted
themselves well and had a very enjoyable day. To top off a busy weekend for
this group they played on Sunday morning in football against Clashmore and
again done well.
Also on Saturday morning
last our Under13 football team played the first round of their championship
against a very strong St Pat’s side. On the morning St Pat’s proved to be the
better team and came away with victory.
Training for the Under 10 and Under
13 age groups will go ahead again this Friday night as usual in the wall ball.
The Under 10 team will train between 7 and 8 pm and the Under 13 team will
train between 8 and 9 pm. All are welcome to attend.
Under 14
Our Under 14 football team play
their second game of the Under 14 championship tonight (Wednesday) against
Tramore in The Burgery at 7pm. We wish all involved well. Training for this
group continues on a weekly basis on Monday and Thursday nights.
