U12
Town & Country League
Our Under 12 team entertained Lismore at the club grounds
for our final game in the Town & Country League. It was an enthralling
encounter with both teams coming up with outstanding scores. Our boys played
very well throughtout the game and ended up victorious at the final whistle.
Our team was as follows: Rian Cosgrave,
Eoin Kiely, Jack McGrath, Rory Tyrell, Seánie Callaghan, Michael Walsh, Andrew
Norris, Charlie Gough, Jack Kiely, Charlie Treen, Conor Bohane, Oisín Brazil
and Aidan Higgins. Well done to all involved.
Under 11
On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning last (July 3rd) in
Abbeyside the U11's played their final Town & Country Hurling match against
Fourmilewater. With two walkovers received, one win and one defeat, we wanted
to finish with a victory and the boys duly obliged with probably their best
performance for a long while when they beat a very strong Fourmile outfit and
deservedly came away with the two points. Sean in goal made a couple of vital
saves and with the strong defensive display from Jake F, Cathal, Jamie, Cormac
& Kieran they kept the visitors chances to a minimum. Daniel and Jake O in
midfield worked their socks off. Darragh W, Jack, Fionn, Brian & Darragh C
caused their back line no end of trouble with a great forward line display.
Conor, Ethan, Aodhan and Sam all played their part when introduced. Well done
to all. Attention now turns to football but we'll have a couple of hurling
challenges in the near future. Best wishes from us all to Sam Phelan who moves
away this week. Sam made great progress when he joined the panel. Keep it up
with your new club. Training continues Friday evenings 6 - 7pm.
Minor
Hard
luck goes out to Darragh McGrath and Neil Montgomery who were part of the
Waterford minor hurling team that lost out to Limerick in the Munster semi
final in Walsh Park on Wednesday night last. Both did themselves proud
throughout the course of the year.
Thank You
Thank
you to anyone who helped out in any way with our flag days last weekend. This
was a vital fundraiser and without help of parents and committee members this
would not be possible to run.
Academy
Our
academy training sessions will continue this Saturday morning for players
between under 5 and under 10 at the club grounds between 10.30 and 11.30.
Under 16
Our
Under 16 hurling team were due to play against Passage on Sunday morning last
but this game was postponed at Passage’s request. This game will now have to be
scheduled for a later date.
Under 10
Our
Under 10 team played a football blitz in Ballinameela on Wednesday night last
week. After some great football being played on the night our lads came away in
third place overall. They were also due to play a hurling blitz last night
(Tuesday) in Carriganore. At the time of going to print the results of this
blitz were not available but will be included in next week’s notes.
