Hurling on the
Green
Cruchan,
River Lane & Waters Edge hosted our 2nd HOTG session of 2016 on Wed last 20th
July. We had some brilliant sunshine and a big turnout of children, in addition
to lots of residents who came out to witness the event.
Special
guest on the evening was Caoimhe McGrath, a member of the Waterford Ladies
football team. Caoimhe has progressed through our underage structures to emerge
as a key member of the ladies football team and also is an accomplished camogie
player.
Thanks
to the residents & everyone who contributed to making the event such a
success and to Eoin Breathnach, Waterford GAA Games Development Officer, who
was on hand to support the event.

week we are heading to McCarthyville on Thursday next 28th July. This session covers McCarthyville, Murphy
Place, Kyne Park, The Hermitage, Park Lane, Sea Park & surrounding areas. Registration
