Academy
The young boys of our
academy played their annual "Mini All Irelands" tournament on Sunday
morning. Almost 120 village hurlers took to the field and had great fun while
being cheered on by a massive crowd. Full photo report next week and keep an
eye on our social media for some great photos and videos.
U11
Last Friday evening saw a
hive of activity over at the pitch with both our under 11 teams out in action
against Dungarvan and Ballygunner. The boys put in a great effort despite the
heat and all four teams put on a great display of hurling. Thanks to all who
came out to shout on the lads!

U12
The U12 boys continue
their hurling programme and had a good run out against our neighbours Dungarvan
on Friday evening. They await a fixture for the last match in the round robin
stage of the U12 all county league, when they will play Mount Sion.
U13
Our U13 hurlers got the
division 1 championship of to a start with a loss to a strong Ballygunner side
but the attitude of the Abbeyside boys couldn't be faulted. They've only had
just over three weeks to prepare for championship since they played the
division 1 county football final, so they're still playing catch up against the
city teams. Our lads love their hurling and will have a good crack at it
through the summer.
They travel to Tramore on
Tuesday 13th to play round two.
U15
Both of our U15 teams are
training well and will have had four challenge matches played before the
commencement of their championships on Monday 26th June. Also, thanks to the
senior panel for their generous donation of sliotars to the U15 panels. It's
very much appreciated.
U14
We had five boys representing
our club on the Waterford U14 panel on Saturday in the Fraher Field. Alex
Doyle, Coleman Radley, Dara Sullivan (missed out though injury) and Seán Óg O'
Regan took on the Tipperary u14 boys in two well contested games. Well done
boys and good luck with the remainder of the season.
Condolences
On behalf of all in our club we wish to extend our
sympathy to the Byrne family on the death of Johnny Byrne who passed away this
week. Johnny's family have strong connections with our club for many years with
his grandsons continuing to play for our club, whilst his wife Lenore helped
with many fundraising events for our club, especially helping with the
development of our current club grounds.
We send our deepest sympathies to all the Byrne
family but especially to Lenore and their children Liam, Pat, Maura, John,
Gearoid, Helena, Mairead and Michael.
We also send our sympathies to the Cliffe family on
the death of John Cliffe in England this week. Prior to moving to our present
club grounds, Cliffe's field was our home for many years. John's brother Larry
is still centrally involved in our club, whilst his nephews and grand nephews
continue to train and play for our club teams. We send our sympathies to the
wider Cliffe family, but especially John's brothers to Larry and Maurice and
his sisters Mary and Theresa.
