U8
You'd normally associate the phrase "half time show" with the Super Bowl but the half time entertainment in the Abbeyside vs Dunhill senior hurling championship match was brought to you by our mighty U8 hurlers. The boys played Na Gaeil in front of a sizeable crowd and really enjoyed the experience. It was the first of many appearances for these boys in Fraher Field and we look forward to seeing them develop into the future. Half time games like this are a fantastic initiative from Deise Óg and the county board as creates fond memories and a sense of belonging for our young hurlers of the future.
