Last Tuesday our U10 hurlers took part in the latest blitz held in the Fairgreen. Our first game saw us beat neighbours Blackrock on a 4-4 to 1-1 scoreline while our second game was won against Naomh Moninne by 2-0 to 0-3. Meanwhile last Thursday we hosted Pearse Og and Blackrock in an U8 blitz. All present were very impressed by the determination and skills of all players involved , many of whom were playing their first ever hurling game.
This Tuesday our U12 hurlers are at home to a Mattock/Kevins/ Glen Emmets combination while our U.13’s face the same opposition this coming Thursday.
Finally next Sunday sees the first adult final of the year when our junior hurlers square up to Naomh Moninne in the Junior championship final. There is never much between these teams so hopefully we can bag the first piece of silverware of the year.
