Our hurlers mentioned how the fantastic support on Sunday really helped them to get over the line so lets keep supporting all our teams !!

A brilliant mornings hurling was played on Saturday. Our U8 boys were all away for their first fixtures of the season and were straight out of the blocks in no time 📷
Coaches and spectators were treated to excellent displays of skill, effort and hard work.
It was a pleasure for the U8 mentors to see the boys back in action, to see their determination for winning the ball, and to see them get some lovely scores for their efforts.
Well done to all the boys !
