Hurling Wall Open
Our new Hurling Wall Facility is now open and available for use to all our members free of charge. Having made such an effort to get to this stage we encourage as much usage as possible as it can only help improve our skill levels all round. Both the full wall and small alley are bookable on an hourly basis for teams, groups and individuals. A weekly booking sheet will appear shortly on our website. This will display hours booked and available. To book phone or text either Tom O'Leary or Joe Carton.
Hurling Wall Coaching Session
This coming Friday 17th February the former National Hurling Director Paudie Butler will conduct two coaching sessions on how to make the best use of our Hurling wall. The first session is from 6pm to 7.15pm and is for juvenile coaches up to U-14. The second session is for coaches of teams from U-16 up to adult. We encourage all coaches, parents, adult players etc to attend as all will benefit from the sessions
