Academy
Our academy for 5 to 10 year olds continues every Saturday morning from 10am.  Our enthusiastic coaches will be on hand to ensure that all our young players have fun while getting active and developing the skills of hurling and football.  New members are always welcome so come along any Saturday morning to join in the fun.
 
U11
The boys played two very competitive mini blitzes on Monday (7th April).  We had a total of 29 boys in action with one group heading east to play in Stradbally and the other heading to the Mill Field in Ballymac.  Both evenings were really enjoyable and all the boys got to show off their hurling in the sunshine.  They're scheduled to play football over the coming weekend so look out for an update.
 
U12
Congratulations to our U12 panel who won the U13 division 4 plate final against Ardmore on Wednesday evening.  The young Ballinacourty boys played a lovely brand of football and credit to Ardmore who put up a very good challenge.  Well done boys!

U15
April is a very busy month for the 14 and 15 year olds in our club.  On Monday (7th April) the boys won the U15 division 1 plate final vs Stradbally, in SETU.  They moved the ball very well and showed impressive work rate which meant they went in at half time with a sizeable lead.  The second half saw the traditional fight back from Stradbally and the second half was an exciting affair. Our boys did well to respond and won the game with a scoreline of 3:12 to 2:08.  Next up for the boy was Féile Peil na nÓg.  They played the qualifying rounds on Saturday morning in Ballinameela.  They played St. Oliver’s and Lismore and won both games which meant they qualified for the divsion 1 county final against Gaultier in SETU.  Gaultier proved too strong for us but the fight and spirit in the boys was admirable.  The second half of April is occupied by hurling and the boys will now don the blue and gold and travel to play Na Risig (Mount Sion & St. Saviours) on Tuesday (15th April). Good luck lads!
