Championship 2022
Our Senior and Junior teams made their respective championship debuts
last weekend. The Senior team overcame a dogged Clashmore outfit on Sunday with
some fine performances throughout the field. On Friday a very young Junior team
unfortunately came up shot following a tight game versus The Geraldines.
Meanwhile the Minors continued their championship with a trip to
Gaultier on Sunday where the hosts won by four points.
All the above are in action again this weekend with the Intermediates
also entering the fray.

On behalf of all in the club we’d like to offer our condolence to the
family and friends of Nell Dalton (née Hennebry). In particular her sister

at this difficult time.

U15 Hurling Championship
Our
U15 boys had mixed fortunes in the knockout stage of the championship in the
past week. Last Wednesday (14th
Sept) the division 2 team played out an exciting encounter against a big
physical St. Mary’s. The group team from
mid-county pushed our boys all the way to injury time when a well taken free
clinched the victory for the village lads with a score of 2-12 to 3-08. They now go on to play Sacred Heart in the
semi final on Friday evening in Carriganore.
Throw-in is at 6:15pm so please go along and give the boys the support
they deserve.
On
Saturday morning (17th Sept) in Cappoquin our division 4 hurlers
bowed out of the championship in a hotly contested plate semi final against
Clashmore. Having lost to Clashmore in
the final match of the round robin stage the boys really upped their game and lead for good spells of the game. After a really great performance they sadly
lost out by the narrowest of margins finishing on 0-09 to 2-02. This group can hold their heads high after
putting in a lot of hard work through the season and showing great development
as the season progressed. Well done to
all.
Déise Óg Hurling Leagues
Our
U12 division 1 team travelled to Ballygunner on Friday evening to play the last
game of the round robin matches in the county hurling league. The Abbeyside boys fought hard and played
some great hurling but Ballygunner took the victory in the end by 3-08 to 1-07.
Both
our division 1 and division 4 teams have made the semi final stages in the U12
leagues and both teams face De la Salle at the weekend.
U11 Tournament Victory in Cork
The
U11’s made the quick switch from hurling to football last week and had only two
training sessions before travelling to the outskirts of Cork city to take on
some top quality competition in the annual Mick O’ Leary tournament, hosted by
Glanbia Football Club. The tournament
consisted of some of the top clubs around the country, including Cuala
(Dublin), Lucan Sarsfields (Kildare), St. Finbarrs (Cork). This level of opposition didn’t deter the
boys from Ballinacourty though as they topped their group, beating Valley
Rovers, St. Finbarr’s and Lucan Sarsfields.
They were drawn against the famous Austin Stack’s in the semi final and
overcame the challenge with quality football and impressive work rate. The final saw the lads take on the hosts Glanmire
and after a very tough encounter Ballinacourty claimed the victory and brought
the cup back to our parish. This was a
great achievement from this group and it’s well deserved after the dedication
and effort that they have put in throughout the season.

Academy Update
Saturday
was busy for our academy teams with the U7’s welcoming our neighbours
Stradbally to the Burgery where they played loads of games in very well run
blitz. The boys all had great fun and
really enjoyed the games in the lovely weather.
Meanwhile,
the U8’s made the trip to Tramore to play a hurling blitz against Micheál
MacCraith Tramore and Ballygunner. The
boys really enjoyed the games and competed very well with the eastern clubs and
deserved the refreshments afterwards. We
knew that U8’s were well able to hurl but they also showed that they have the
makings of formidable choir. On the bus
home they belted out the classics like “Up the Village” and “Everywhere we
go…”. It was a great morning and was
enjoyed by all.
Our
academy continues every Saturday morning from 10am and keep an eye out in the
coming weeks for the return of our Mini All Ireland Football series.
