Playing against a very strong wind in the first half, our boys trailed by one point at the break, 2-4 to 2-3. Two early second half goals along with 5 points in the final quarter secured victory. Congratulations to all the players, mentors and backroom team on a fantastic 2018.

World Record

On Sunday last a large group of boys and girls from our under 12 and 13 teams made the long trip to Croke Park to take part in the GAA's World Record attempt at having the largest hurling training session. Clubs from across Ireland were represented as 1772 children and their mentors smashed the target to create an official new Guinness World Record. All of the boys and girls who travelled had an absolutely brilliant day out and will remember their big day in Croker for many years. Sincere thanks to all the club mentors who helped organise the trip.

Juvenile Notes - 3rd October

World Record

Sunday Sept 30th saw 33 boys & girls from the Abbeyside GAA Club enter the Guinness World Record Books when they participated in the Largest Hurling Lesson which took place in Croke Park. The previous record stood at 577. Tickets scanned we entered the pitch with 40 plus clubs from around the country. The hooter sounded for the start of the record attempt, 20 drills and 30 minutes later the hooter ended the session. Back up to our seats in the Cusack Stand where we waited for the news, the record was smashed when the Guinness World Record adjudicator on the night announced that 1,772 kids trained all at the one time and for the 30 minutes required. Valid attempt and great excitement greeted the announcement, well worth the trip and a great day was had by all. Well done to all who helped make this a great memory for the boys & girls.
