U12s
Our U12s travelled to Derrynoose last Wednesday night and put a great display of football to claim a fully deserved win. The U12s still have a number of games to play and tournaments to take part in and, with the holiday period almost over, all players are asked to ensure that they attend training every Tuesday and Friday evening at 6.00pm at the field.
Meabh O’Neill’s Camogie
The U12 camogs have been improving with every game they play and on Saturday they put in a number of brilliant performances to reach the semi-final of the An Ríocht tournament. This was the first inter-county tournament the young camogs took part in and they played some great camogie throughout – well done everyone.
Training for all camogs - U14, U12, U10 & U8 – continues at the pitch every Wednesday evening at 6.00pm and all new members age four and upwards welcome to attend. Any past or present camogie or hurling players who could spare one hour per week on a Wednesday evening to help coach some of our underage is asked to contact Sandra 075996440444 - your help would be greatly appreciated.
