There is a Monster Hurling Go Games blitz for the under-7 and 9s in Ballinakill this Saturday morning. Time still to be confirmed.

The under-5s will have training on Saturday morning from 9.30 to 10.30am in the complex. After such bad weather recently the pitch has been out of bounds for everyone. Hoping to see all teams back out soon for training.
