Academy
Our
academy training sessions for those between the under 6 and under 9 age groups
continues on Saturday morning next at the club grounds between 10.30 and 11.30.
Lá na gClub
The
Burgery on Saturday morning last was a hive of activity when we hosted our
annual Lá na gClub day. There was a big turn out on the day and many cups were
played for. The morning turned out to be a huge success and the weather on the
morning was perfect. A big thank you to anyone who helped out in any small way
to make sure the morning ran smoothly. There are too many names to mention here
but a big thank you to everyone involved. A big thank you must go to all the
parents and kids who turned out because without those we would have no club.
Under 16
Our
Under 16 hurling team received a walkover from Passage in the quarter final of
the Under 16 Championship. They are now due to take on Roanmore in the semi
final in Roanmore on Monday night next.
Under 11
We
took on Lismore last Wednesday evening in Abbeyside in a challenge game. After
a competitive hours hurling we came up just short in the end. Then on Friday
night last we were due to play St Pat’s in the town and country league football
competition. However due to a mix up on the St Pat’s side the game never went
ahead and will now be played tomorrow night (Thursday).
Under 14
Our
Under 14 hurling team bowed out of the championship on Monday night last
against a strong Ballygunner team who were at home on the night. The pitch was
far from ideal on the night with the grass too high for hurling. However it was
the same for both teams and our lads tried their hearts out throughout. As the
saying goes, goals win games and it was the home side that got two early goals
and left us chasing the game throughout. Our players tried hard throughout to
close the gap and tried till the very end but it wasn’t to be and Ballygunner
ran out deserved winners. It wasn’t one of our better performances of the year
but everyone in the club is proud of all the lads that played on the night and
throughout the year. At the end of a long season it is only right to thank all
the players and mentors involved for giving so much of their time to the cause
since last February. Well done to all.
