Academy Update
We're entering the busiest time of the year for our
games and every Saturday morning at our club grounds there's always a huge
amount of fun, enjoyment and development happening. From our coaches in the astroturf with the
youngest hurlers and footballers, through to the U10's there's always a real
buzz amongst the boys as their kicking, pucking, running, jumping, falling and
crawling. It's a really enjoyable
experience for any young boy between the age of 5 and 10 so contact us through
our social media if you have any questions.
U10 Football
Our U10's travelled to Ballymacarbry to play a
football blitz in the famed Mill Field against the Nire and Rathgormack. It was lovely to see the spirit in which the
boys played the game with enthusiastic parents and family cheering from the side
line. Some lovely team work is beginning
to emerge and the boys are really enjoying the experience. It's nice to see them working for each other
and encouraging each other.
U11
The U11 boys have had a very enjoyable few months
so far this season. The Deise Óg format
means that they alternate between hurling and football every two weeks. There are plenty of games for all the boys and
this Monday (3rd June) they take on Cois Bhríd and Kilrossanty.
U12
Our under 12's continued their run of games last
week traveling down to Roanmore. Both
teams put on a tough but fair game for the spectators with some great scores
coming from both sides. Well done lads!

The Village
Poc Fada
On the bank holiday Monday morning a serious crowd
of young Village hurlers descended on Abbeyside beach for the 2024 Village Poc
Fada. The lead up to this event has seen
lots of young lads finding any available space on their local green or back
garden to get some vital practice with their hurleys. 51 boys from our U10 and U11 panels were put
into teams of three and took on the 2KM long course. They started underneath the abbey and struck
for the Cove where they had to turn to make the return trip. Everyone remarked on the quality of the
ball-striking and the adults that were keeping the score had their work cut out
to keep up with the pace! It was a
really enjoyable event for the boys and thanks to the parents for turning out
in numbers to support also. We're so
lucky to have a natural resource like Abbeyside beach in the heart of our
village and it's great that our young village hurlers can make the most of it! The event was topped off with goody bags
kindly sponsored by Brian Enright.
Finally, well done to
all the boys for helping to pick up after ourselves and to leave the beach as
we found it.

U13 Football
Trials
Now that the U13 football championship has
finished, Deise Óg are conducting trials to select the U14 football development
squad for 2025. Week two of the trials
was on Sunday (2nd June) in the really well turned out Kilrossanty GAA grounds
in Leamybrien. We were well
represented on the day with 12 Ballinacourty boys pitching their skills against
others from across the county. We also
had a number of volunteers from the club helping to run this event and they
should be credited because without the volunteers the boys won't have a chance
to take part in events like this.
U14 Hurling
Monday (3rd June) sees Mount Sion come to the
Burgery to play what is the quarter final of the U14 division 1 hurling
championship. We'll expect a stiff
challenge from the Monastery Men especially as our boy have only recently
switched from playing football. Good
luck lads!
Féile U15
Hurling
Our U15 hurlers qualified for the county feile semi
final on Monday of last week. They played Lismore, Fourmilewater and Clan na Geal
in the qualifier and with all three teams finishing level on points our boys
qualified for the semi final on points difference. In that semi final they played Ballygunner but
unfortunately lost by three points. Ballygunner
went on to win outright, and will now represent Waterford in the national Féile
competition and we wish them good luck.
