Western Junior 'B' Football Champions

Congratulations to our Junior 'B' footballers and management team on their hard fought 0-9 to 0-8 victory over Kilrossanty in the Western Final played at Fraher Field this evening. In a game where there was never more than one score between the teams, we kicked a late point to secure our sixth divisional title at this grade and our first since 2015. We now face Roanmore in the County Final next weekend.

Academy

Our weekly academy, like many other sporting events, succumbed to the weather warning on Saturday. We'll go again next week so we're looking forward to seeing the boys at the field next Saturday morning from 10am.
Our U9 and U10 avoided Saturday’s bad weather and took to the field in pleasant conditions on Sunday morning. The U9's welcomed James Stephens of Kilkenny to the Burgery and had an enjoyable morning of hurling.
The U10's were on the road to Tallow to take on Cois Brid and St. Mary's (Kill). The boys enjoyed the games and played really well.

U13 Trials

A good number of our U13 hurlers took part in county development squad trials in SETU on Sunday morning. The trials continue over the next two weeks so best of luck to the boys.

U14 Division 1 County Football Final

SETU Carriganore was the venue for the U14 county football final on Saturday morning. The match was squeezed in just before the orange weather warning took effect and was played in dry conditions. It was a tough day for our boys as they faced off against a very strong Gaultier outfit. The physical difference between the two teams was evident and the power of our opponents was too much for our young panel to cope with. It's a testament to the spirit of the boys that they fought to the bitter end. This group have contested four division 1 county finals since U12 and they will continue to play and develop. They're a good group and there will be better days ahead for them!

Academy

Saturday morning at the field was quieter than usual but only because we had lots of boys on the road playing blitzes and tournaments.  The academy will continue well into October so it's not too late to join us if you have a son that's interested.
 

U5 & U6 Blitz

There was great excitement for our under 5s and 6s at the weekend when we took part in a very well organised blitz in Kilmacthomas GAA pitch.
Our under 5 team wearing the Abbeyside jerseys played against Kilrossanty, Stradbally and Gautier in three very entertaining matches.
The under 6 team donned the Ballinacourty jerseys and played some great football against Portlaw, St. Saviours and Kilrossanty. Playing matches is what it's all about so well done to the boys and also well done to the coaches for facilitating.

U10

The U10 boys headed across the border to Clonmel on Saturday morning to take part in the annual Frank Maher hurling tournament which was hosted by St. Mary's hurling club. Play started at 10:30am and the boys played four rounds of matches against St. Mary's, St. Josephs Doora/Bearfield and St. John's Ballinteer.  It was a really well run tournament and the Village boys had a great morning.  The boys now return to prepare for the final two rounds of the Deise Óg U10 league.

Academy

The academy, for boys between 5 and 10 years old, is still flying every Saturday morning from 10am.  Call out any Saturday morning or get in touch with us through our Facebook page to get more information.
 

U13

Both of our U13 hurling teams bowed out of the championship at the semi final stage recently.  Well done to the boys and their coaches for putting in a great effort this year and it's good to see our young hurlers continuing their development.
 

U15

The U15 hurlers lost to Ballygunner in the division 1 county semi final last week in Ballyduff Lower.  Although the disappointment was obvious for the boys, they can hold their heads high because they gave it 100% and left everything on the field.  Looking back on their year, the boys and the coaches did really well to win the division 1 football championship and get to a division 1 semi final in hurling.  The results are good but the development of the boys as individuals and as a team was encouraging to see.
 

Under 11 Killeagh Tournament

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of participating in a fantastic hurling tournament hosted by Killeagh GAA. Our club brought along 25 enthusiastic young under 11 hurlers, who were divided into two evenly matched teams, ensuring that everyone had ample opportunity to demonstrate their skills and enjoy a day filled with hurling action.
In addition to our under 11s, we were fortunate to have four talented under 10 players join us on the day.  Their contribution to the teams was invaluable, and they showed great determination and skill throughout the tournament.  A big thanks to them for stepping up and playing a key role in our teams’ performances.
Throughout the day, both teams faced strong opposition, competing against teams from Dicksboro, St. Finbarrs, Killeagh, and Valley Rovers.  Each game provided a challenging test, and our players rose to the occasion, showcasing their talent, teamwork, and determination.  The effort from all the kids was commendable and the experience of playing against such formidable clubs was invaluable for their development and growth as hurlers.
Many thanks to the parents who came to support the boys on the day.  Your support is an essential part of the boys experience and a huge help to the coaches.
A special thanks must go to Killeagh GAA for not only extending the invitation to this wonderful tournament but also for hosting the day with such professionalism and hospitality.  We greatly appreciate their effort and look forward to future events.
Also as the evenings close in and it is dusk when lads are cycling home from training can we add a reminder to parents and kids to wear their hi-viz vests and have a light front and back on their bikes so they are seen when going home.
