U10 Football
The Ballinacourty U10 footballers travelled to the city on last week to play Gaultier in a series of matches. The games took place in the Ballygunner club grounds and although we were missing a few boys we still had a good gang heading down. The bus left the Friary at 9:30am with the singing, chanting and general racket started at approximately 9:32am. The boys were in good spirits getting off the bus and this translated onto the field where each of our two teams played two really competitive matches against Gaultier, in what was a very enjoyable hour of football. There was a stop on the way home for some well-deserved refreshments followed by plenty more singing, shouting and roaring on the way home.
This brings the curtain down on the U10 season and for this group and so, they will transition out of our academy structure in 2025. They're a really tight group and have shown impressive development, both individually and as a team so they deserve lots of credit. Thanks must go to the parents for their support since this group joined our club in 2019. The five years have flown by, and we look forward to many more years watching this group play for Abbeyside Ballinacourty into adulthood.

Underage Athletic Development Programme
After a considered planning phase, the club will facilitate a structured athletic development programme for our under age players. The programme will run through the winter and will be an opportunity for our young players to develop their athletic capabilities which will further develop their on-field performance. We look forward to good participation from all the relevant age groups.

U6 Hurloween Party
The U6s had a very enjoyable end to the year last recently when they dressed up in their costumes for the club's first ever Hurloween event. This group have made great strides during the year, and this was evident on Saturday during some mixed hurling and football matches. The highlight of these being a great tussle between Ironman, Captain America and Spiderman. We would like to thank Eurospar for kindly donating goody bags for the boys on their last day of training.
Thanks to the parents and coaches for making it a great year and we will see the boys again in spring.
