Juvenile Notes - 31st August

U12
Our U12s had a very busy schedule last week. Firstly we headed to Thurles to take part in the Munster hurling activity day. We had 3 short games which we were pitted against Aghabullogue, Killeagh and Kilruane McDonaghs and thankfully we won our 3 games and then we had a stadium tour with Michael Breen the Tipperary senior hurling star.  We had a great time in Semple Stadium and it was a great opportunity for our young players to grace the historic venue.
Next on our schedule was we had Town and Country Football League in which we entertained St. Patricks and it was nip and tuck the whole way. We won by a couple of points at the end.
Our final outing was back to hurling again and this time we travelled to Erins Own in Cork to take part in Colman Dillion Tournament in which we were pitted against 3 very strong teams. We played Midleton in our first game and this was a very tough game and won it with a very fine performance in the second half. Next up was Kilmacud Crokes. This also was a very tough game and unfortunately we lost this game narrowly in the end. In our last game we needed to win against Valley Rovers and unfortunately we came up against a very strong team and lost this one.
Well done to all involved.

The Under 9s welcomed Lismore and St Patricks to the Burgery last Saturday morning for a hurling blitz. Some great games were played with the four teams at a similar level. We would like to thank Lismore and St Pats for attending. A huge thank you to the parents who brought buns cakes etc for the blitz and who helped out to make sure adults and kids alike were well looked after. This is greatly appreciated. Finally we would like to thank our own boys who continue to come along to the field for training or matches in big numbers and are really enjoying it.

Under 16
Our Under 16 hurling team play against De Le Salle tonight (Wednesday 31st) in Abbeyside in the latest round of the Under 16 Hurling Championship. Please come out to support the lads and best of luck to all concerned.

We would also like to wish William Beresford from our Under 13 team the best of luck as he lines out in Croke Park on All Ireland Final Day as part of the Mini Sevens exhibition game. This is a wonderful achievement for William and we hope he has a day that he will never forget. Hopefully it will be the first time of many he lights up the pitch at headquarters.

Juvenile Notes - 24th August

Academy
Our academy training sessions will continue this Saturday morning for players between under 6 and under 9 at the club grounds between 10.30 and 11.30.

Under 11
It was a busy couple of days for the Under 11 age group. On Wednesday last we went to Lismore for a mini hurling blitz where we took on Lismore first. In an entertaining game we shared the spoils. Straight into our next match against Midleton and the boys built on the first game and won well at the end. On Friday night we went back to football for our latest Town & Country game when Gaultier visited the Burgery. After an even enough first half the eastern side proved too strong for our lads and won comfortably at the finish. Next up is the Nire in a couple of weeks. Football training continues Friday nights at 6pm till 7pm.

Under 14
The Under 14 hurling team continue to train every Tuesday and Thursday night at the club grounds.
All in the juvenile club would also like to wish Colin Foley and Alex Norris the very best of luck as they represent the club and their county in the Tony Forristal and Sonny Walsh competitions in Waterford this weekend. This is a marvellous achievement for both players and hopefully they will have a weekend that they will never forget.

Under 10
It was also a busy week for our Under 10 team. On Monday night of last week they took on St Olivers and on Saturday last they took on Ballybacon Grange who were coached by ex Tipperary goalie Brendan Cummins. The lads really enjoyed both matches, and as I said earlier in the year in this page, are improving with every outing. They were also due to play Fourmilewater last night (Tuesday). At the time of going to print the result of this match was not available but will be included in next week’s notes.

Under 13
Our Under 13 hurling team had a very good win against Lismore in the last week and are now into a semi final of the western championship which will be played on September 3rd.

Minor
Our minor hurling team played the latest round of their championship on Thursday night last against Lismore.  On the evening that was ideal for hurling it was the Lismore team that upped their game in the second half to come out on top on a score line of 2-20 to 3-08. Next match here for the lads is against Portlaw/Ballyduff on the 22nd August.

Under 16
After a poor display in their last match against Roanmore our Under16 team came into their latest game in their championship needing a moral boosting win. On the night it was De Le Salle who provided the opposition. Our lads were much sharper and hungry than they were in previous games putting in their best display so far and thus coming away with victory on the night on a score line of 0-20 to 2-10. Well done to all involved.

Guest coaches were Waterford Ladies footballers, Maria Delahunty and Caoimhe McGrath and County U-21 hurler Conor Prunty.
Thanks to the residents for cutting the grass and supporting the event.

Hurling on the Green - Páirc na mBláth

Thanks
Alot of people contribute to making “Hurling On The Green” a success and due to the fact that we have now completed our 2016 Programme it’s only fitting that we thank everyone who has helped us this year.
Firstly, to all the residents in the four estates, who made us welcome and helped prepare the greens and promote the event, thank you.
Thanks to all the parents for supporting each event and to all the children, who enjoyed themselves so much and made it all so worthwhile.
To the Staff of Waterford County Council, who had the greens in Tournore, Cruchan and  McCarthyville like a billiard table and who supplied us with cones and safety barriers over the four weeks, it was much appreciated.
A large band of club members put in a lot of work to ensure the events run safely and smoothly. Much of the work is unseen; however, it’s very much appreciated.
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 & Camogie on Friday evenings from 6.30pm.

Blitz

Cúl Camp

Both will be the same week, 22th to 26th August and will take place in our County Grounds, Walsh Park and Fraher Field. We will have loads of unique prizes and lots of visits from County Players, including our Cúl Camp Ambassadors, Tadhg Bourke and Patrick Curran.

Hurling on the Green - McCarthyville

Former Team Mates
Pictured at the HOTG session in McCarthy Ville on Wed last was our ever busy club chairman Bernard Shields, who was taking a quick break from the HOTG activity to chat to long time resident & former team mate Eddie Moore.
A native of Holycross in Co. Tipperary, Eddie wore the club colours for many years, with both himself & Bernard playing in the 1964 County Senior Hurling final against Mount Sion, in which the city side took the honours by 3-6 to 1-6.
A year later, in 1965 both were involved in Ballinacourty’s historic first ever county Championship winning side, which captured the County Intermediate Football title & earned our place in senior ranks for the very first time.

Bernard Shields & Eddie Moore

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 14
Under 14 hurling training continues on Tuesdays and the last round of the league will be played on Monday next. We wish all involved the very best of luck.

Minor
In our second game in the County Minor Hurling Championship we took on Clonea. In what turned out to be a great free scoring game we came out on top on a score line of 3-16 to 3-12. This was a much improved performance on the first match against De Le Salle and that improvement will have to continue as our next match up is against a very strong Ballygunner team on Wednesday 10th August.

Under 16
Our under 16 hurling team were due to play two fixtures this week. The first was to have taken place on Monday night last and the second is due to be played tonight Wednesday (ask players or mentors for details). We will be trying hard to win these two games to give us the best chance of getting out of the group.

Under 15
On Saturday afternoon last we played our first game in the Under 15 County Hurling Championship against Mount Sion. Despite being under strength on the day due to commitments over the bank holiday weekend the lads battled away bravely throughout. On the day it was the city team that took the spoils on a score line of 5-7 to 2-8.
