Academy Update
Our academy, for boys aged between 5 and 10,
continues every Saturday morning from 10am. There's no better way for children
to learn the skills of our games, build friendships, and have fun, so come out
any Saturday morning and you'll receive a warm welcome.
U11
It was a busy week for our U11 panel because as
well as their regular training sessions, they travelled to Tallow on Monday
(5th May) to play Cois Bríd in a well contested game of hurling. Three days
later they welcomed Ferrybank and Clashmore to the Burgery and again the games
were well contested and the boys really enjoyed them. Back to training on
Monday and Thursday for the boys and they look forward to welcoming Midleton
for a hurling challenge on Saturday morning.
U12
Like the U11's, the U12 boys are busy with the
Déise Óg programme of games. On a
beautiful Friday evening (9th May) half the panel travelled to Passage to play
in a very hotly contested game of hurling while the other half of the group
made the shorter journey out to Bushy Park to take on the Brickey Rangers. The ground was hard, the grass was short and
the sliotar was flying. Well done boys.
U14
On Wednesday (7th April) we had two teams, with
38 boys in total, togged out to play the U14 Football Championship. The
division 1 boys were away to Stradbally and although they battled well, they
didn't come away with the victory. The boys in division 5A headed for Clashmore
and after an excellent game of football, they finished all square with the
hosts. This coming Wednesday (14th May) sees the division 1 team host Gaultier
and the division 5A team hit for Ballyduff Upper. Best of luck!
U16
Our U16 panel continues to prepare for their
upcoming hurling championship and over the last two weekends have played three
challenge matches against Ardmore, St. Olivers and Ballygunner. The
championship is only around the corner so keep it going boys.
Coach Development
Our enthusiastic coaches are always hungry for
knowledge and looking for ways to help our young hurlers and footballers
develop their skills and enjoy our games. Continuing our series of coach
development workshops, we held two further workshops over the past weekend
where Joey Doherty, Head of Performance and Talent for Waterford GAA, took our
coaches through the importance of athletic development and how to incorporate
it into our coaching sessions in a way that children will enjoy it. The
workshops were very well attended and it was good to see the collaboration and
sharing of ideas amongst the groups. We look forward to facilitating further
workshops as the year progresses.
