Academy
Our academy is for boys aged between five and ten
years old and runs every Saturday morning from 10am. Our enthusiastic coaches
are always on hand to make sure that any newcomers receive a warm welcome and
lots of fun. The field was a little quieter on Saturday, due mainly to boys
playing matches. The U8's were on the road to play an enjoyable blitz in
Cappoquin and the U10's welcomed Naomh Brid to the Burgery on Saturday
afternoon.
U11
The U11’s had a busy week starting off on Monday
evening with the boys first hurling fixture of the year. this was a Deise Óg
Blitz, one team travelled to Lismore taking on the challenge of Lismore and Stradbally
and the other team playing at home against Cois Bride and St Olivers. They
followed this up on Friday when they welcomed Killeagh U11s for a home fixture
and having had a game under their belt you could already see the progress made.
The conditions were great, and all the boys contributed, the games were
extremely competitive which is sure to stand them in good stead as the season
progresses. Special mention to young whistler Cathal McGrath who refereed two
of the games on Friday night and was exemplary in the way he dealt with the
children and managed the games.

Young Whistler
Well done to Cathal McGrath who refereed his first
matches since completing a refereeing course as part of the transition year
programme. He was busy over the weekend, officiating for the U11's on Friday
and the U10's on Saturday. Well done Cathal!
U13 Division 1 Football – Round 4
Well done to our boys who drew against Gaultier on
Wednesday (24th April) evening on a score line of 2-9 to 2-9. Playing against
the breeze in the first half, Ballinacourty got off to a great start and played
a lovely brand of football. We had 4 different players that scored and seemed
to be in the driving seat. However, Gaultier with less time on the ball, were
clinical in front of goal and did not miss their opportunities. At half time,
Ballinacourty were down by 2 points on a scoreline of 1-5 to 2-3. In the second
half Ballinacourty started strong and kicked over 3 lovely points. Gaultier
stayed in touch with 3 frees. As the game played out it was very close and
could have gone anyway. Well done to Gary Kiely for his great block down to
deny Gaultier from scoring in the last play of the game.
We await the results of Stradbally vs Rathgormack
to see if we progress to the county semi final.
U15
It was a very busy week for the U15 boys. On Monday
(22nd April) the division 1 boys hosted St. Olivers and put in a very good
performance to win with a scoreline of 2-14 to 2-4. Unfortunately, our full
forward Alfie Wyse suffered a broken finger and will be out of action for a few
weeks. We wish him a speedy recovery.
On the same evening, our U15 division 4 boys
travelled to play Portlaw. They got off to an excellent start knocking over
1-04 in the first 10 minutes. Portlaw came back into the game with a couple of
goals of their own and it was nip and tuck for the remainder of the match. The work
rate and spirit of the Ballinacourty boys was admirable and it was this work
rate, along with some lovely football, that resulted in the boys claiming a two
point victory with a scoreline of 3-12 to 5-04.
The next round of the U15 championship is on 1st
May when the division 1 boys travel to play Stradbally while the division 4
panel host St. Pats. Best of luck boys!
Féile 2024
On Sunday we had 25 U15's in Stradbally to take
part in the Féile 2024 qualifiers. A win over Stradbally and a narrow defeat to
Gaultier meant that we didn't qualify, with Gaultier going on to represent
Waterford in the national competition.
