U12 Camogie
Our U12s had a great victory over Sliabh Luachra on Monday evening. It was a challenging game but each Parnells player played really well. The girls continue training on Friday nights in Caherslee 6 to 7pm. New players are always welcome where a hurley and helmet are available to borrow.
U16 Camogie
The U16 camogie squad are going from strength to strength with every game this season. On Thursday evening they came away with a win against a strong Killarney side in the County League. Many thanks to Killarney for a good competitive game. Well done to all players involved. The team will have a break now until after the exams but will continue training.
Minor Hurling
Our Minors kicked off their Division 1 County League campaign last week with matches on Thursday vs Crotta/Kilmoyley and on Sunday vs Ballyduff. Unfortunately due to injuries to key players as well as unavailability of others, we fielded weakened teams for both fixtures and some of our U15s stepped in at short notice. Despite this, the team put in a great effort and while not coming away with a result in either match, they gave a very good account of themselves. Last match in the league is vs St Brendans and hopefully we will be able to welcome back our injured players for this match.
