| 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
We
will be holding a special blitz for all our young camogie players, hurlers
& footballers on Saturday 17th September, more news over the
coming weeks.
Cúl Camp
2016
has been a fantastic success for Waterford GAA Cúl Camps with a huge increase
in the numbers of children taking part.
The camps have all been great and the feedback from parents has been
wonderful, so we are looking to try and give something back and so we will hold
two extra camps. 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.

Under 11
The U11’s got
their football campaign off to a winning start with a fine display against St.
Pats in Kilgobnet on Friday night last (5th of August). Next up is
Gaultier in Abbeyside.
Under 14
Our U14 hurling team
played their final league game on Monday of last week away to Portlaw. Training
continues every Tuesday and Thursday at the club grounds.
Under 15
Roanmore travelled
to Abbeyside on Saturday to play our U15’s in the second round of the U15
Hurling League. Despite our boys not being as physically big and strong as the
city side, they stuck with them for most of the game, but in the end were well
beaten 7-7 to 3.4. Despite being beaten Abbeyside played with huge heart and
commitment until the final whistle.
Under 16
Our U16 hurling team
played Passage on Monday night of last week in Abbeyside and had a
comprehensive win (6-14 to 0-09). The same team travelled to Roanmore two
nights later and were well beaten by a much improved and better Roanmore side on
a scoreline of 6-19 to 0-1.
Minor
Our Minor Hurling
Team are playing the next round of their county championship tonight (Wednesday)
away to Ballygunner at 7pm. Support for the team would be appreciated.
