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.
