Juvenile Notes - 27th July

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.
This 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 commences at 6:30pm, with activities running from 7 to 8 pm.
Our 4th session will be held in Páirc Na mBláth, Ballinroad on Wed 3rd August.
If you enjoyed HOTG, and wish to play more Hurling, Football or Camogie, you are welcome to come along to our Academy sessions on Saturday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 and camogie on Friday evenings from 6pm. New members are always welcome at our Academy sessions.
