U10H Blitz:
Our u10s had an end of year blitz out in UL last Sat morning. We had 2 teams taking part. Even though it was a terrible day the kids did brilliantly even though a few hurleys went flying through the air at times.
We played against Monaleen, Hospital Herbertstown & Bruff in 1 group. Ballybricken, Bruree and Drom Athlacca in the other group.
The kids tried the hardest and showed great skill in testing conditions. Well done to all and well done to the parents for coming out.
Team: Emma Kennedy, Jack Kennedy, Calvin O’Brien, Alex Moore, Molly Maher, Gracie Waters, Conor & Aimee Griffin, Gavin McNamara, Adam McMahon, Alex Ahern, Donal McMahon, Jamie Lawlor, Mya Moloney, Alex Meehan, Jack Kiely, Luke Morgan, Jake O’Callaghan, Aaron O’Brien, Aaron McNamara, Jay O’Sullivan & Matus Nadasky. Darragh Kiely, Darragh Tuite, Dylan Tuite, Dylan Kett, David Lee Pearse, Reece Dillon, Sean O’Brien, Cathal Duggan & Stephen Byrne who performed excellently throughout the season.
Keep it up – thanks to coaches Colin Tuite & Derek Lawler!
U13 Hurling Blitz:
We started at 10am last Sat in a very wet Croagh, our players had three testing games and displayed some great passages of play & score taking. Scoring 6 goals across the 3 games in testing conditions were the highlight and great experience for this young group of players. Pat Galligan, Darren Kenihan & Keith Quinn were the ‘John Kielys’ on the day & the club appreciates their help on the day in coaching our future stars. Also Claughaun Gaa would like to thank the parents that attended also and gave great support!
Panel: Emmett Hehir, Colm Leo, Cathal Casey, John Reilly, Jamie Hannon, Peter Loo, Evan Shine, Jimmy O’Reilly, Kian O’Brien, Nathan Lane, Conor McMahon, Ross McNally, Aaron Considine, Sean Whelan, Robert Galligan.
