U11 Hurling
Our under 11 boys had a change in their training schedule last week as they swapped Caherselee for an adventure walk in Ballyseedy woods followed by pizza and a puck around. A big thank you to our U11 coach Niall Hayles of Brio Brunch for organising, Sean Street Pizza for supplying the delicious pizza and to Clifford's Cash and Carry for supplying the drinks. A great evening had by all.
On Sunday the boys stepped into the unknown as they participated in the Con O Calahane Memorial tournament hosted by Na Piarsaigh Limerick playing. The boys were up against the hurling heavy weights of Munster including the hosts Na Piarsaigh of Limerick, Na Pairsaigh of Cork, Newport of Tipperary, Sixmilebridge of Clare and Ballygunnar of Waterford. The coaches were really proud of all the boys who played some fantastic hurling, displayed great heart and courage with them being highly completive in all games and even winning some along the way. This was a fantastic opportunity for our club to participate in the tournament and we would like to thank the Na Pairsaigh club for an extremely warm welcome in what was an exceptionally well run competition. A special thank you to all who traveled and helped out the group along throughout the day.
U13 Camogie
Well done to our Under 13 Camogie team who reached the final of the Aoibeann Duffy memorial blitz which was held on Saturday in Kilmoyley and hosted by Cillard Camogie Club. The girls played fantastic camogie all day and battled all the way to the final whistle loosing narrowly to a very strong Causeway team. Well done to Nuala and all in Cillard Camogie Club for organising a fantastic tournament.
