Well done to the rising stars of the under-15 hurling team who had a good win over Gorey on Wednesday night of last week on a scoreline of 5-4 to 0-7. The boys showed good attitude with some great defending midfield and forward play. The goal men also played well with some fine puck outs. The attitude and work rate were the things that were evident to see. These boys train well and will continue to improve and will have a big contribution to make to the club for many years to come.
