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.

We

latest round of the Town and Country League Football. A report of this game
will be included in next week’s notes.
Under 9
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.
Well Done
Well
done to our club players who represented their county in the Under 14 Tony
Forristal and Sonny Walsh tournaments in Waterford last weekend as well as the
players who represented Waterford in the Under 15, 16 and 17 tournaments last
weekend also. 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.

Portlaw/Ballyduff on a score line of 2-19 to 2-14. Next match here is against
