U7 Hurling
It was a busy week for our Under 7’s. On Friday evening they completed their first training session at the ball wall of Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn which was a great experience and went down a treat.
On Saturday they travelled to Dr. Crokes in Killarney for a blitz where they faced teams from Dr. Crokes, St. Pats, Lixnaw and Kenmare. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed this blitz and the hurling skills they displayed were a pleasure to watch, they truly have gelled as a team. Thank you to Dr. Crokes for organising and hosting.
Congratulations to this weeks players of the week, from Friday night Ferghal Lynch and Seán De Hora Gumley and from Saturday Shay Brosnan and Seán O’Brien, well done all.
U10 Camogie
Well done to all our U10 girls who travelled on Monday evening to Ardfert for their first blitz of the season against Cillard and Killarney. The girls enjoyed a fabulous evening of camogie. A big thank you to Cillard for the invitation. Training continues on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 with a move onto grass at our new juvenile pitch Páirc na Darach at Tralee Sports Complex.
U11 Hurling
Well done to our U-11 boys who put in a great performance against Ballyduff in Caherselee last Wednesday evening. With great scores and teamwork there was no shortage of skills on display. Thank you to Ballyduff for the game and to our referee Donnacha Buttimer.
U14 Camogie
This year the U14s are fielding two teams in the Camogie County league. The squad had their first round of games on Monday evening. Team one had a good win away against Ballyduff. It was a game where there was great skill and commitment from both teams. The girls managed to take their scores at the right time and won out in the end. Thank you to Ballyduff for a good game and many thanks to Brian Shanahan for buying the 99’s afterwards in Ross’s Centra !
Team two also played away where they met Sliabh Luachra. Despite a great effort by everyone the result didn’t go their way. It was a great experience for all especially for the Under 12 players who made the step up.
