Academy Training
We had another great session for our U6-U9 boys and girls in Caherslee last Friday evening. There were great skills on display. All newcomers are welcome to come along and give hurling and camogie a try. The club will provide hurleys and helmets. We now have a tea/coffee station on Friday evenings where parents can come and say hello and mingle while the boys and girls have some fun.
U11 Hurling
Our U11s were busy during the week. They travelled to Lixnaw last Wednesday for a great evening’s hurling and put in a brilliant performance against Kilmoyley last Saturday evening. Thanks to both Lixnaw and Kilmoyley for hosting and for skilful sporting matches.
U13 Hurling
Hard luck to our under 13 hurlers who lost to Crotta O Neills in the North Kerry Championship last Tuesday evening on a scoreline of 2-8 to 0-8.
They are away to Ballyheigue in the next round on Tuesday 28th May.
U13 Camogie
Our U13 camogie team had a good win against a competitive Abbeykillix team in Pairc na Darach last Friday evening. Our thanks to the opposition for a competitive and sporting game and to Diarmuid Brennan for reffing.
U15 Feile Preparations
Both our U15 hurling and camogie teams have qualified to go to the National Féile na nGael competition which is being held this year in Wexford. This will require a huge club effort to fund both groups of players on their féile adventure. If any business owners are interested in sponsoring the teams to help alleviate the cost, please contact any member of the respective management teams. As part of the fundraising effort the club have setup a Go Fund Me page at https://gofund.me/ce16f9a9. Many thanks to those who have already donated.
Both squads will hold a feile fundraiser (bake sale and long puck) from 6pm in Caherslee next Friday evening 31st May after which the U15 hurlers will play Abbeydorney in a Co. League fixture.
Thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to our fundraising Table Quiz last Monday evening in Kirby’s Brogue Inn.

There was a great win for our under 16 camogie team against Cillard in Rd 2 of the County league last Wednesday evening. As usual, there was very little between the teams at the final whistle.
