Juvenile Notes - 14th September
Minor
Our
minor hurling team finished their season very well in their final two games. On
Wednesday night last we played Dungarvan in the championship and this game also
doubled up for the Kieran Lennon trophy. Our boys played very well from the
start and were always in control and came away with a comprehensive victory. On
Sunday morning last they travelled to Mount Sion. This game was very one sided
where again our boys played very well coming away with victory in the end on a
score line of 13-15 to 2-14. However despite these two victories and really hitting
form in the last few weeks we missed out on qualification to the knock out
stages by a point. We would like to thank all the players and mentors for the
time and effort they have put into this championship throughout the year.

13 Hurling Final on Sunday morning last at Fraher Field against Naomh Brid. In

Western Final date against Naomh Brid on Saturday next at 12.30 in Fraher Field,
Dungarvan. Best of luck to all involved.
Well Done
Well done to William Besresford who represented the club on All Ireland
final day in Croke Park. On the day William was wearing Tipperary colours but
hopefully sometime in future William will be wearing Waterford colours at

Under 11
We headed to Ballymac on Friday night last in the third round of the

brilliant play by the lads we had a good lead at half time. In the second half
the Nire got some quick scores and brought them right back into the game. We
steadied the ship however with some excellent point scoring of our own and won
the match in the end after a very entertaining 40 minutes of football. The next
round is against St Pats at home on Friday the 16th September.
Minor
We will play our local neighbours Dungarvan on Wednesday night next the

Under 16
Our Under 16 hurling team beat De Le Salle last Wednesday night in the
County Under 16 Hurling Championship. We have now qualified for the quarter
final where we will take on Passage on the 14th September.
