FAI SOCCER CAMP

Last week St Cormac’s hosted a FAI Soccer summer camp and 74 future stars attended the week long event. They had great craic and were blessed with some of the best summer weather we have had in years.

FLYOVER OPEN.

Well done to all involved in the Harrow flyover – it’s open now, much earlier than the projected date of August 10.

GAA NEWS

On Tuesday, July 10, our under-13 hurlers had a good 7-12 to 2-5 win over Kilmore in Monageer. The team started well, eased off the throttle for a while but finished with a flourish. This win puts them on top of the table and especially well done to the boys from the under-11 squad who filled gaps left by players away on holidays. Team: Euan Pender, Raymond Kehoe, Patrick Kinsella, Eden Flynn, Harry Goff, Robert Cahill, Jack Turner, Adam Power, Charlie Donnelly, Leon Doran, Evan Dunne, Bobby Codd, Tomas Deacon, Seán Egan, Christopher Kehoe, subs: Henry Kelly, Conor Burke, Gerard Turner and Aaron Leacy.

Earlier in the week, on Sunday the eighth., the junior hurlers also scored seven goals, beating Gussarane by 7-15 to 3-12 to qualify for the league final.

The under-13s had also played on Sunday in the Bill Hassey Blitz in Davidstown. Fielding a team which included six drafted in from the under-11 squad, they gave good account of themselves and won the shield trophy. There were four sets of brothers involved in this squad, Powers, Turners, Dunnes and Kehoes.
