Juvenile Notes - 23rd March

Under 10 and 13
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 Under14 football team played their third match of the championship on Sunday morning last against the Nire. The team played very well on the day and came away with victory. Training for this group of players continues weekly on Monday and Thursday nights.

Minor Football
Also on Sunday morning last our minor football team played their third match of the championship at home to Rathgormack. After another good display by the team over the hour the team won this game also and remain unbeaten so far in the championship. Well done to all.

Under 16
Our Under16 football team played their first championship match on St Patrick’s morning last away against Tramore. In what was an exciting game of football played between two evenly matched teams the score at full time was level. This was a solid start to our championship and hopefully this will be a result that can be improved upon as the championship goes on.

Congratulations
Congratulations from everyone in the club must go to brother and sister combination Dara and Caoimhe McGrath who were recently shortlisted to the final 12 in the prestigious Pat Noctor Awards for their outstanding achievements in GAA over the past 12 months. Well done to both indeed who did not win the overall award on the night but represented the club with pride.

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.
