U10 Hurling....

Our U10 team travelled to Tallow on Saturday last where they played in a blitz. They played Castlelyons, Ballyduff, Tallow and won all 3 games. It was great to see so many boys interested in playing. We had the highest number of players with all boys getting equal game time. Well done lads keep it up.

U14 Hurling

We continued our U14 Hurling league campaign on Wednesday the 10th when we travelled to White Church. We were out played on the night as we only had 15 players and a lot of them had already played a Sciath Na Scoil game that day. (Both Boys and girls won their first hurling Sciath Na Scoil games. Well done.) White Church scored 2-2 in the first half as we failed to get on the score board. Ben in goal was bringing off a number of saves but the shots were coming fast and furious. Shane moved to defence and with Peter, Matthew, Ciaran and Patrick tried to lock down the back line. Cian and Shaun got on the score board with a goal each while the Roches, Griffin and Jordan were chasing everything. John Conor and Mark played well but overall White Church proved too strong scoring an additional 3-4 throughout the second half.
