Academy
Saturday morning at the field was quieter than usual but only because we had lots of boys on the road playing blitzes and tournaments.  The academy will continue well into October so it's not too late to join us if you have a son that's interested.
 
U5 & U6 Blitz
There was great excitement for our under 5s and 6s at the weekend when we took part in a very well organised blitz in Kilmacthomas GAA pitch.
Our under 5 team wearing the Abbeyside jerseys played against Kilrossanty, Stradbally and Gautier in three very entertaining matches.
The under 6 team donned the Ballinacourty jerseys and played some great football against Portlaw, St. Saviours and Kilrossanty. Playing matches is what it's all about so well done to the boys and also well done to the coaches for facilitating.

U10
The U10 boys headed across the border to Clonmel on Saturday morning to take part in the annual Frank Maher hurling tournament which was hosted by St. Mary's hurling club. Play started at 10:30am and the boys played four rounds of matches against St. Mary's, St. Josephs Doora/Bearfield and St. John's Ballinteer.  It was a really well run tournament and the Village boys had a great morning.  The boys now return to prepare for the final two rounds of the Deise Óg U10 league.

Academy
The academy, for boys between 5 and 10 years old, is still flying every Saturday morning from 10am.  Call out any Saturday morning or get in touch with us through our Facebook page to get more information.
 
U13
Both of our U13 hurling teams bowed out of the championship at the semi final stage recently.  Well done to the boys and their coaches for putting in a great effort this year and it's good to see our young hurlers continuing their development.
 
U15
The U15 hurlers lost to Ballygunner in the division 1 county semi final last week in Ballyduff Lower.  Although the disappointment was obvious for the boys, they can hold their heads high because they gave it 100% and left everything on the field.  Looking back on their year, the boys and the coaches did really well to win the division 1 football championship and get to a division 1 semi final in hurling.  The results are good but the development of the boys as individuals and as a team was encouraging to see.
 
Under 11 Killeagh Tournament
Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of participating in a fantastic hurling tournament hosted by Killeagh GAA. Our club brought along 25 enthusiastic young under 11 hurlers, who were divided into two evenly matched teams, ensuring that everyone had ample opportunity to demonstrate their skills and enjoy a day filled with hurling action.
In addition to our under 11s, we were fortunate to have four talented under 10 players join us on the day.  Their contribution to the teams was invaluable, and they showed great determination and skill throughout the tournament.  A big thanks to them for stepping up and playing a key role in our teams’ performances.
Throughout the day, both teams faced strong opposition, competing against teams from Dicksboro, St. Finbarrs, Killeagh, and Valley Rovers.  Each game provided a challenging test, and our players rose to the occasion, showcasing their talent, teamwork, and determination.  The effort from all the kids was commendable and the experience of playing against such formidable clubs was invaluable for their development and growth as hurlers.
Many thanks to the parents who came to support the boys on the day.  Your support is an essential part of the boys experience and a huge help to the coaches.
A special thanks must go to Killeagh GAA for not only extending the invitation to this wonderful tournament but also for hosting the day with such professionalism and hospitality.  We greatly appreciate their effort and look forward to future events.
Also as the evenings close in and it is dusk when lads are cycling home from training can we add a reminder to parents and kids to wear their hi-viz vests and have a light front and back on their bikes so they are seen when going home.
