U10
Last Wednesday evening saw our Under-10 hurlers travel over the county bounds into Cork for a blitz in Bride Rovers.  It was the first hurling blitz of the season for the lads and it was played in glorious sunshine on a fantastic pitch.  The lads rose to the challenge of the local teams, playing some great matches against Bride Rovers, Kilworth and Castlelyons.
The lads showed plenty energy and skill for a team with only one hurling session under their belts this season and really earned their ice creams after the blitz!!
 
U10 Hurlers - Bride Rovers Blitz

U11
Having played Lismore a couple of weeks ago, our U11 hurlers take part in the first Deise Óg blitz of the season on Monday (7th April).  We have two teams on the go with one heading to Ballymac to take on Fourmilewater and Ballyduff Upper.  The other half of the group hit for Stradbally to play the hosts and Mount Sion.  Enjoy the hurling boys!
 
U12
This year our U12 panel entered in the U13 championship and after playing a number of round robin matches, they take on Ardmore in the division 4 plate final on Wednesday evening, in Adrmore.  Good luck to the Ballinacourty boys!

U15
The U15 championships are run off on a very condensed format.  Ballinacourty played Lismore in the quarter final on Sunday 30th March, when they ran out comfortable winners.  The semi final was played on Thursday (3rd April) against Gaultier, where after a battling performance our rivals from the east took the victory on a scoreline of 4:09 to 0-11.  This meant that our boys go to the plate final and will meet Stradbally on Monday (7th April) in SETU.  Good luck lads!
