U12 Hurling
Our U12 hurling team travelled up to Lismore for the Pat
Montayne Tournament. Firstly we played Cois Bhríde. It was a close game with
our opponents leading at half time, we started playing better in the second
half and ended up close winners.
In our second match we played St Mary's of Clonmel. It was a
great match with incredible scores coming from either end. We had a small lead
at half time and managed to keep the advantage and end up winners by a very
small margin.
In our 3rd game we played Lismore. We did not
perform at all and ended up losers by a couple of points.
In the final we played Lismore in a rematch of our 3rd
game and it was a much tighter affair with the lads ending up very close
winners at the final whistle. Well done to all involved and the panel on the
day was: Rian Cosgrave, Jack McGrath, Rory Tyrell, Seánie Callaghan, Michael
Walsh, Andrew Norris, Eddie Phelan Fergie Slevin, Charlie Gough, Edmond Sprat,
Jack Kiely, Charlie Treen, Eddie Phelan, Dylan O'Regan and Tomás Nee.
Under 11
Sunday morning last we played De La Salle
in a hurling challenge. The game was moved to Colligan because Abbeyside was
hosting an inter county camogie blitz. We started off slowly but gradually got
going and we lead by 2 points at half time with some fine point scoring. DLS
improved in the 2nd half and with a couple of unfortunate scores conceded by us
DLS won the match. Thanks to Colligan for making their pitch available to us,
Ruairí for refereeing and DLS for agreeing to travel to Colligan. Panel on the morning
was: Sean Walsh, Kieran Cosgrave, Jake Fitz-Drummey, Aodhán Barrett, Cormac
Dunne-Fitz, Cathal Sweeney, Jamie Mulcahy, Daniel Morrisey, Jake O Donnell,
Jack O Donovan, Darragh Walsh, Conor Gough, Brian Callaghan, Billy O Donnell, Darragh
Cosgrave, Sean Queally. We start the Town and Country Football League soon. Our
first game against Youghal is off sadly with the Cork team unable to field. Training
continues Fridays 6pm till 7pm.
HOTG
Tournore Park hosted our 1st HOTG session of 2016 on Tuesday last
12th July. We had a
big turnout of children and everyone really enjoyed the activities run by the
coaches.
Special guest on the evening was Neil Montgomery, a member of
our senior hurling team and county minor hurler in 2016. Neil is a graduate of our
Saturday Academy and really made a big impression on the evening.
Thanks to the residents and everyone who contributed to
making the event such a success.

Cul Camps
Well done to all who
attended the Cul Camps that were run in our club last week. Great numbers were
achieved with more than 120 children taking part. This was an excellently run
camp and all the children who took part enjoyed the experience immensely. We
would like to thank the Waterford Games and Development Committee for making
this camp the success it was.
Under 13
Our Under 13 hurling
team took on near neighbours Dungarvan on Monday night of last week. On the
night the lads put an impressive performance together to end up winners. Well
done to all.
Under 16
Our Under 16 hurling
team played their first round of the Under 16 Hurling Championship on Tuesday
night last away to a very strong Ballygunner side. On the night it was the city
side that came away victorious on a scoreline of 3-18 to 1-16. Our next match
here is against Roanmore on the 3rd August.
Minor
Hard luck goes to our minor football team who on Monday night
of last week lost the County Final to Gaultir at Walsh Park. On the night our
lads never really got going and a goal in either half by the city side
separated the teams at the finish. The final score line was 2-3 to 8 points.
Despite losing the club are proud of every single one of the lads who togged
out on the night because despite defeat they never stopped trying till the final
whistle. These lads day will come again. They now move their attention to
hurling with the first round of the county championship taking place tonight
(Wednesday) at 7.30 against De Le Salle. We wish all involved the very best of
luck.
