U12 Hurling
Our U12s entertained Youghal at the club grounds on the
first round of the Town and Country League. Conditions underfoot were tough
going with both teams finding it hard to score. It was nip and tuck the whole
way right up to the end and Youghal got the goal that was needed and won in the
end.
The panel was: Dylan
O'Regan, Charlie Gough, Oisin Brazil, Andrew Norris, Jack Kiely, Michael Walsh,
Fergie Slevin, Charlie Treen, Jack McGrath, Rian Cosgrave, Eoin Kiely, Seanie
Callaghan, Rory Tyrell, Tomas Nee, Conor Bohane, Aidan Higgins and Mark
McCarthy.

Minor Football
The next round of the minor football
championship takes place tomorrow night (Thursday) against Clashmore in

Under 14
We took on neighbours Dungarvan in
Dungarvan on Friday night last in the Under 14 football championship. After a
good performance throughout we came away with victory on the night. Our next
match here is against Kilrossanty on Sunday morning next.
Under 9
Our under 9 team will play matches
every Monday night at 7pm for the next eight weeks. It will alternate between
hurling and football each week with us being home one week and away the next.
Details of fixtures will be written here weekly. Saturday morning training
sessions for this group will also continue at 10.30 every week in club grounds.
Under 10 and 13
Our Under 10 team played Ring on
Monday night of last week in Abbeyside and there was a big improvement all
round from the team. They also took part on Saturday last in a football blitz
in Carriganore where they competed against The Nire, Dunhill and Gaultir and
performed well in all three matches.
Our Under 13 team lost to Cois Brid
in their second championship game on Wednesday night last. They were also due
to play against Gaultir on Monday night just gone in a must win game. At the
time of going to print the result of this match was not known but will be
included in these notes next week.
Best Wishes
The club would like to send best
wishes to juvenile player Niall Buckley who recently had surgery. We all hope
to see Niall back on the playing fields as soon as possible.
Well Done
Everyone in the club would like to
say well done to Neil Montgomery and Darragh McGrath who both represented
Waterford in the Munster minor hurling championship on Wednesday night last.
While defeat for the team on the night was the overall outcome both players
represented their county and club with pride.
Underage Hurling
Normal training resumes for the
juvenile teams on Saturday morning next at the time of 10.30 to 11.30. The club
send apologies to any parent who did not receive teamer of change of time last
weekend.
Last Saturday morning the club was a
hive of activity. The weather was magnificent and we had near to a full quota
of all our panels from 5 to 9 years busy training with their dedicated coaches.
We also welcomed twenty two Syrian boys and girls to the club to part take in a
training session with our fantastic coaching officer Pat Moore and juvenile
chairman Joe Cleary and coach Laurance Hurney. The kids learned some of the
basic skills of hurling and football from the three lads and thoroughly enjoyed
it. We would also like to thank the games and development coaches in the county
for providing a loan of hurleys and helmets for this session. We look forward
to welcoming this group back and any help with this initiative would be greatly
appreciated on Saturday mornings at 10.30. We would also like to thank Paul
Heffernan for providing transport to these kids on Saturday morning.
Easter Bunny
The Easter bunny arrived on Saturday
morning last to the juvenile session also (a little late due to poor weather
Easter Saturday) and provided every child with an Easter egg which they were
all delighted about.
Note to Parents
Unless you receive a text saying
training is cancelled, please take it that training will be on every Saturday
for our underage coaching sessions.
Under 11
On a cold, windy (but dry) Thursday
evening last (7th) we continued our build up to the start of the Town &
Country League when we welcomed Lismore to Abbeyside. This game was originally
to be played in Lismore but at their request it was moved. A good hours hurling
was played, with little between the two sides. We'll train tonight (Wednesday)
hopefully ahead of Dungarvan's visit on Friday.
