a score line 2-12 to 2-11. The Intermediates were in action also and defeated Bunmahon

U15 Football Championship
The
division 1 boys continued their 100% record in the championship with a win
against the Brickeys on Monday evening while the division 4 team played some
great stuff to claim the win against Clashmore/Kinsalebeg. Well done lads!
U13 Football Championship
Our
division 4 boys had a busy week as they played Ardmore on Monday evening and
Kilrossanty on Wednesday evening, recording good victories in both matches.
The
division 1 panel hosted Gaultier on Wednesday and came out on top with a four
point victory.
Town & Country League
One
of our U12 panels lost out to St. Olivers by a point on Friday 15th

performance but lost out in the end.
The
U11’s boys were on the road to Ardmore and Kilgobnet on Sunday morning and won
both matches, playing some great football.
Waterford Primary Schools Games

Academy Update – Under 9s
The
under 9’s have been back at the pitch since February 26th with a 4 week block
of football training completed followed by a blitz against Gaultier on March
26th which was a great success. We are currently in the midst of a hurling
block and we are played a very entertaining hurling blitz against Midleton last
Saturday. With the pitches starting to firm up and the long evenings on the way
the kids and coaches are looking forward to a busy summer of activities. We
hope to hold a mini All Ireland 9 a side internal competition with the under
10’s during May and we encourage all parents to get involved with this great
event.
Well Kids!
The
Well Kids programme officially got up and running last Saturday morning and our
astroturf was awash with a gaggle of four to six year old boys running and
hopping and jumping and falling.
Generally just having great craic! It was great to see the coaches
making the most of things like hula-hoops and pool-noodles (not your
conventional coaching equipment!) to help start the GAA journey for the young
boys in a really fun and positive way. Our
academy is always open to new members so if you have a boy aged between 4 and
10 years old just get in touch through our Facebook page or email abbeycourtyjuvenilesec@gmail.com
