U7
Our U7 boys group have been very busy over the month of July.
We hosted the final blitz of the Waterford GAA Go Games at our own club grounds on Wednesday the 24th of July.
We have played two hurling and two football blitzes over the month of July and the boys have really enjoyed them and come on so much.
On Wednesday we hosted St.Patrick’s and St. Oliver’s and the boys showed some great skills and determination on the field on the night. These games showed us the importance of the basic skills in our games.
Although we had lots away on holidays we still fielded 2 teams and it was great fun to see the boys compete against each other.
We would like to thank all the support we got from parents over the last 4 weeks and especially Ashling and Máire who helped out with refreshments after the matches on the night.
We would also like to thank Jonathan in Eurospar for providing a goodie bag for each participating child and some refreshments for the adults . Well done everyone.

U10
On Saturday morning the boys played the first round of the Deise Óg U10 hurling series. We welcomed two of our close neighbours, Dungarvan and St. Pats, to the Burgery and each of our two teams played two matches giving them an hour of enjoyable hurling. The field was in great nick and this, along with the skill of the boys meant that the sliotar didn't stop for the hour. It was encouraging to see some proper teamwork emerging in the group. On a number of occasions the Abbeyside boys picked each other out to create scores and also worked hard to support each other in defence. It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning.
 
U13
The boys continue their training programme in preparation for the next round of their championship on Monday evening (5th Aug). The division 1 team host Ballygunner while the second team host Clashmore/Kinsalebeg. Good luck lads.
 
U15
Clan na Gael were the visitors to the field on Monday night (29th July) in round 5 of the division 1 U15 hurling championship. Keep an eye on our socials for updates

Well Kids!
The "Well Kids!" programme is an initiative driven by Déise Óg where children of four years old can begin to experience our games in a fun and accessible way through a variety of games and activities. It's a fantastic way to introduce your child to team activities and exercise and a safe and fun environment. Call out any Saturday morning at 10:30am and there's no need to bring any equipment, everything will be provided.
 
U10
It has been an unbelievably busy week for our U10 hurlers. On Monday (15th July) they played a Cappoquin and the Brickeys in Cappoquin. Thursday (18th July) saw them host Clan na Gael and St. Pats in the Burgery and on Saturday (20th July) they embarked on a mighty day out!  They piled onto the bus in Coolagh at 11:30 and headed across the border into Kilkenny. They played a really well organised blitz hosted by James Stephens, with Mooncoin also taking part. Even though a lot of the panel are away on holidays etc we were still able to field two teams and competed really well with our Kilkenny counterparts. It was lovely to see the skills from all the boys as well as the spirit in which the games were played.
James Stephens laid on a fantastic spread of refreshments afterwards which was really appreciated by everyone.
The boys didn't hang around too long though because next on the itinerary (after a quick pit stop in McDonalds) was Walsh Park to support our seniors in the first round of the championship. Big thanks to Joe Cleary who kept a steady pace on the bus and ensured we were on schedule.
The young Village boys sang and chanted all the way to Keane's Road and took up a good vantage point in the stand to cheer on their clubmates against Ferrybank. It was lovely to see all the blue and gold jerseys invade the pitch at half time for a puck around and a convincing win for the seniors capped off a fantastic day of hurling, friendship and fun. The boys were a credit to the club throughout the day and are looking forward to continuing their hurling throughout the summer. They play Dungarvan and St Pats this coming Saturday. Keep it going boys!

The U15 hurlers had a good win against De La Salle at home on Monday (15th July). It wasn't an easy encounter but the boys were in control throughout and won with a scoreline of 1-11 v 0-9. Next up is another home fixture against Clan na Gael on Monday 29th July so please come out and support the boys.

Our U13 hurlers were on the road last night, travelling to the city to play Mount Sion for round 2 of the division 1 county championship. They were assisted by a strong wind in the first period and lead by three points at half time. The boys showed impressive fight and plenty of hurling ability into the wind for the second half and took the victory on a score of 1:10 to 1:06. Well done lads!

Academy
It was a little damp on Saturday but it was great to be out in the field to witness the hustle and bustle of our young hurler and footballers.  We had a full complement of teams apart from our U9's who took a spin over the river Colligan to take part in a blitz hosted by our neighbours in Dungarvan.  Make sure to come along any Saturday morning to join in on the fun.

U15
