Minor
County League Champions
Pride of place this week goes to the Minor Footballers
who won their County League Final against St Mary’s last Sunday. The lads put
in a fine performance to record a well-deserved 10 point victory.
Congratulations to all involved, hopefully it’s the 1st
of many trophies to come our way this year.

Academy Update
Our Saturday morning academy for boys aged from 5 to 10 continues with
our enthusiastic coaches putting on fun and energetic coaching sessions. New
members are always welcome so call out to us any Saturday morning from 10am to
join in the fun.
U10
On what was a very busy Saturday morning, half of our U10 football panel
headed across the bay to An Rinn where they played the hosts and Clashmore in
the Déise Óg county football league. Despite a thorough soaking from a
seriously heavy shower, the Ballinacourty spirit wasn't dampened and our boys
played some very good football and had great craic.
The following day, it was turn of the Sunday morning shift to take to
the field in the Burgery. They had a good contests with Dungarvan and St Pat's
and played very well. Like the other half of the group the day before, the boys
really enjoyed the run out.
The U10 leagues are played under the rules of the "GAA Go
Games". There are no league tables and the focus is on allowing our young
players to develop and have fun playing against teams from across the county.
The boys are looking forward to plenty more games as the weather improves.
Thanks to the parents for attending the games and supporting in a positive way.
The games mean a lot more to the boys when there's a good crowd on the
sidelines encouraging everyone!
U11
Ballinacourty U11’s had Clonmel Commercials down for 2 challenge games
with our 2 x U11 Teams. A great evening of football was had by all.
U12
Our U12 footballers took to the road and headed down to Gaultier last
Friday night to kick start their 2024 season. After a competitive, tough game
of football from both teams, the game finished level at the final whistle. Well
done boys.
U13
It was another busy week for the u13 boys who played Rathgormack at the
field on Wednesday evening (10th April). It was a very close game with our lads
losing out by four points in the end. On Friday they played a selection from
Ring school in what was another good contest. Next up is an away match against
Lismore on Wednesday (17th April). Good lock lads!

All of last week's U15 championship matches were called off because of
the rain but both our U15 football panels are in action on Monday (15th April).
