Sympathy

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our sympathies to the family and friends of the late Margaret (Peggy) Burns, Tramore who passed away recently. Peggy’s son Johnny was a key member of our successful Senior Football teams in the 1970’s and 80’s, after which he gave many years coaching numerous underage teams to County Titles. Peggy’s grandsons featured on some of those teams and her great grandchildren continue to wear the club jersey today. Once again we send our sympathy to Johnny and all the Burns family on the death of Peggy.

U12

A couple of games played in the last week with St Mary’s of Clonmel coming to the Burgery on a lovely Tuesday evening for a hurling challenge. The boys didn't play anywhere near their potential and lost out by 4 pts in the end to a strong outfit from south Tipp. Thanks to St. Mary's for travelling.

Then Friday evening we headed to the Mill Field in the Nire to take on Fourmilewater in Round 3 of the Town & Country Hurling League. Our first attack saw us score a goal but FMW fought back to take the lead with 4 pts of their own. With half time approaching the heavens opened and we gained the advantage again to lead by 2 pts. 2nd half and an early goal for us, but credit to FMW, who came back at us again, but we held out thanks to a couple of scores as the game was nearing the end.

Panel for both nights: S Walsh, A Barrett, B O'Connell, F Murchu, J Fitzgerald Drummey, K Cosgrave, S Queally, D Morrissey, D Walsh, J O'Donnell, C Sweeney, J O'Donovan, E Keohan, B Callaghan, J Mulcahy, C Dunne Fitzgerald, D Cosgrave, B Crotty.

U12 Tournament

What a day we had on Saturday April 29th. We were invited to the inaugural Paddy Moore tournament held by the Naomh Chartaigh club at the Lismore GAA grounds. 3 games, 72 mins hurling, 9-8 scored 3-8 conceded meant we qualified for the final after matches against St. Catherine's of Cork, Naomh Charthaigh and Cois Bhride, Tallow. Another game, another 40 mins hurling and the final was in the melting pot right up to the last whistle, which saw the host club emerge victors by two points, with our lads fighting back from 7 points down but that piece of luck eluded us preventing us coming away with the trophy. Well done to Naomh Chartaigh and many thanks for the invite. A great days hurling had by the boys with the final being game of the day.
