Solo Across The Parish!

On Saturday afternoon, over 70 young players — from our U12s right down to our U5s — took on the epic challenge of soloing across the parish. Starting in Ballyvoyle, on our eastern boundary with Stradbally, they followed the greenway through Clonea Lower, Garrynageragh, Tallacoolmore, Ballinroad, and Ballyrandle, before arriving in Abbeyside and finishing at Walton Park, where the banks of the Colligan mark our border with Dungarvan.
There was plenty of craic along the way, and the boys will proudly tell you that not a single sliotar was dropped for the whole journey! Marching into Walton Park decked out in club colours, they were rewarded with a well-deserved pizza feast, generously sponsored by Domino’s Dungarvan. After devouring the pizza and enjoying an impromptu Poc Fada competition, the final leg was a short hop to Fraher Field to cheer on our seniors against the Brickey Rangers.
It was a fantastic day that not only raised funds for our juvenile section, but also showcased the incredible club spirit among players, parents, and volunteers. A huge thank-you goes to the volunteers who ensured the day ran smoothly, kept everyone safe, and made sure no one went hungry.
Keep an eye on our social media for the final fundraising total and photos from the day. Finally, a special word of praise for the boys themselves — their effort, enthusiasm and excellent behaviour were a credit to the club.

These two groups continue their busy summer programme of hurling and football. As well as their regular coaching sessions they play matches, alternating between hurling and football, on a weekly basis and both groups are doing really well.
 

Championship Update

Our U14's travelled to Clonea Power on Monday (21st July) and took the victor with a scoreline of 3-11 to 3-09. On Sunday morning (27th July) our U16's were on the road to play Lismore in round four of the hurling championship. The boys put in a good performance to win 2-17 to 0-08.
 

Intercounty Action

We had boys representing Waterford in football across two age grades at the weekend. Colm Kiely and his teammates lost narrowly in the semi final of the O'Donovan Cup, a national competition, to Wexford on Saturday. We also had a number of U14's playing in the qualification matches for the Jim Power football tournament. Fergus Donnelly, Jamie Drummey, Aaron Lacey, Isaac Walsh & Luke Walsh lined out for Waterford and will go on to play the finals in two weeks time.

U10

Sunday morning saw our Under-10 hurlers head off on a bus trip to Ballygunner. We played 3 competitive games, with all the players getting stuck in and showing plenty of skill and determination in beautiful sunshine.
After an hour hurling in warm conditions, we had a well-deserved picnic before heading off again to Walsh Park to support the senior hurlers.
Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way in Walsh Park but the ice cream on the way home eased the disappointment!

Minor Hurling All Ireland Champions

On behalf of all in the club, we would like to congratulate Aaron Walsh and his Déise teammates on their superb 1-18 to 0-10 victory over Clare in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Final in Semple Stadium, Thurles on Saturday.  Aaron is only the sixth Abbeyside clubman to win an All-Ireland title.  Hopefully Aaron will be a member of more successful club and county teams in the years to come.

Well Kids 2025!!!

Saturday morning was throw-in for our 2025 Well Kids activities.  The Well Kids initiative is designed by expert coaches to provide a fun and exciting introduction to the GAA, for children aged four and five.  The primary aim of Well Kids is to attract young children and parents of all backgrounds to our GAA clubs. Fun and enjoyment are at the core of Well!Kids and we are aiming for a top class coaching experience for children in the community.  Why not bring your child along next Saturday to join in the fun - you'll receive a very warm welcome!
 

A Day to Remember for Our U11s!

They filled a 33-seater bus and left Abbeyside at midday in fine voice, with singing and chanting lasting the full one hour and twenty minutes to Littleton, where we faced Moycarkey Borris GAA.
The boys played two very well-contested matches, with the lads from Tipp and Waterford moving the ball brilliantly.  When the hurling was done, it was into the clubhouse for refreshments, which were very well received.  We thank the Moycarkey club for their warm welcome and hospitality.
Then it was back on the bus for the spin into Thurles for a final refuelling stop at Dr. Morris Park, alongside Semple.  Pizzas were quickly dispatched, and the singing and chanting continued while queuing at the turnstiles – the atmosphere was brilliant, and our boys added to it!
In the stand, the boys gave their very vocal support to the amazing minors throughout the match.  The scenes at full time will be etched in the memories of our young hurlers forever and will surely help develop their love and enjoyment of our games.
When it was time to head for home, we gathered the boys on the pitch (it took a while!), did a last headcount, and returned to the bus for the journey back to the Déise.  Needless to say, the noise levels were impressively high all the way home – but we can guarantee they all slept well that night!
All in all, it was a fantastic day for the boys.  The minor team, including our clubmate Aaron Walsh, are truly an inspiration for all our young hurlers, and we congratulate them on their epic victory.  They’re setting a great example for the next generation!

U12's at the Southeast Football Sevens

It was an early start for our U12s on Sunday morning as they travelled to Tinryland GAA in Carlow to take part in the Souteast Sevens Football tournament.  The Ballinacourty boys were pitched in a group with Naomh Eanna (Wexford), St Broughans (Offaly) and O'Hanrahans (Carlow).  The boys played mighty football to progress through the group undefeated and won their quarter final.  The day came to an end however at the semi final stage with a loss to Cellbridge.  It was a really enjoyable day for the boys and they represented our club very well.

Hopefully Aaron will be a member of more successful club and county teams in the years to come.

Hurling League Champions

Well done to our Junior Hurlers who won the Division 7 of the county league over the weekend when they defeated Ballydurn 1-19 to 1-07. This is our 2^nd trophy of the year, adding to the football title won a few weeks back.
 

Academy Action

On the longest day of the year, our club grounds were a hive of activity as the Academy sessions lit up under glorious sunshine.  With huge crowds of people in attendance, boys aged 5 to 10 enjoyed a fantastic morning of hurling and football.  The energy and fun were infectious as the next generation of Abbeyside and Ballinacourty stars played with smiles and spirit.  Call out any Saturday morning from 10am to join in on the fun.
 

Under 8 Hurlers Take on Kiltha Óg

Amongst the bustle of the Academy morning, our Under 8s took to the field for a highly enjoyable hurling match against Kiltha Óg from East Cork.  It was a classic morning of "clash of the ash" with great pulling on the ball and lots of excitement throughout.  The young Abbeyside hurlers gave it their all and earned their well-deserved post-match treats!

Under 11s in Action

After the Academy wrapped up on Saturday morning, the Under-11s took to the main field – currently in immaculate condition – for their matches.  Despite a slightly reduced playing pool due to holidays, our boys put in great performances in both hurling and football against St. Molleran’s.  There was plenty of skill and determination on show with the small and big ball, and the lads are now eagerly looking forward to their trip on Saturday to play Moycarkey-Borris – followed by cheering on the county minors in their All Ireland final in Semple Stadium.
 

Annual Village Poc Fada

Our U11 and U12 players took part in the much-loved annual Village Poc Fada, continuing a special tradition in a beautiful setting on Abbeyside beach.  Each team of three carefully picked their course, avoiding rocks and aiming for a long roll on the hard sand.  The 2km route began at the church, turned at the cove, and saw the young hurlers battle a stiff wind on the return leg – a fantastic display of skill and teamwork!

Club Clean-Up Day

Led by Kevin, a hardworking and enthusiastic team – ranging in age from 14 to a fair bit older! – took part in a big tidy-up around the club.  Volunteers painted, weeded, swept, picked litter, and repaired fences, all in a wonderful demonstration of club pride and community spirit.  Well done and thank you to all who rolled up their sleeves!
 

Congratulations Cailíní

Big congratulations to the U15 girls and their camogie coaches on winning their national Féile in Wexford on Saturday.  It's a great achievement and well done to all involved!
