Fixtures
Western U20 ‘A’ Hurling Championship Final
Abbeyside v Fourmilewater – Fraher Field, Saturday, 9th November, 3:00pm
 
U13 County Trials
The U14 county development squads for 2025 were announced at the weekend and from the 170 boys that took part in the trials, it was good to see that nine Abbeyside Ballinacourty boys have made the grade. On the football panel we have Aaron Lacey, Dara Power, Fergus Donnelly, Isaac Walsh, Jamie Drummey, Lochlainn Hurney, Luke Walsh and Ronan Sullivan. The boys that made the hurling panel are Dara Power, Luke Walsh and Tadgh O' Connor. While it's great that the boys have been recognised as having lots of potential, it will take plenty of work and dedication to realise that potential. With the help of the dedicated coaches from Bord na nÓg and the continued support and guidance from our coaches in our club, we look forward to watching the boys develop while enjoying their hurling and football. There was an important message from the selectors to the boys that didn't make the panels this time; there will be plenty more opportunities for boys to be selected in the future. It's important that everyone keeps playing and giving their all, anyone that does will be noticed!
 
Munster U14 Super 10 Hurling
Our U14 hurlers travelled to Mallow on Saturday morning to take part in the Munster 10-aside competition. Twelve teams (two qualifiers from each county) were organized in four groups of three. The Abbeyside boys faced Ballyheigue (Kerry) and Moycarkey/Borris (Tipperary) in their group. Both games were very competitive and having beaten Ballyheigue in the first match, we lost out to Moycarkey/Borris in round two which meant we didn't progress to the semi final stage. Moycarkey/Borris made it to the final, only to be beaten by our long-standing rivals Ballygunner. It was great for the boys to play the top teams from across Munster, they competed really well and will have taken a lot from the games.
