Juvenile Club - Sponsored by St. Dominic Credit Union

We held the official launch of our partnership with SDCU on Saturday last. We enjoyed the glorious weather and a huge number of our juvenile players turned up to get involved in the day's events.

First up was the presentation of a set of jerseys for our U-12/U-13 teams. John Mullane was on hand to accept the jerseys on behalf of the club from Rachel Walsh, Business Development & Marketing Officer with St. Dominic Credit Union.

Following this we had all our Juvenile players from U-6 to U-14 involved in a series of internal blitzes. There were “freebies” and treats for all players afterwards generously provided by SDCU.

A very big “Thank You” to Rachel and her team from SDCU for coming along to Gracedieu on Saturday and helping to make the day such a huge success.

Check out our website for more information and photos of events on the day.

We urge all our members to support SDCU our new Juvenile Club sponsor.

U-13 Hurling

Our U-13 Hurlers began their 2017 campaign on Monday last at Gracedieu with a hard earned victory over our near neighbours Mount Sion on a score of 3-2 to 1-4. This was an extremely competitive match between two evenly matched sides and very little between them at the end. We opened with a goal but our opponents replied with two points and a goal of their own. We got a point so the minimum separated the sides at the break on a score-line of 1-2 to 1-1 to our visitors.

We equalised early on but Mount Sion responded with two quick points to lead by two. The game was very evenly balanced at this stage but we managed to add a further two goals to run out victors. Both sides are to be commended on a thoroughly competitive match.

Panel: Dylan Quinlan, Niall Dawson, Conor Cummins, Jack Cox, Kieran Kennedy, Jack Twomey, Jack Douglas, Sultan Andnekan, Ben O’Neill, Will Bermingham, Kieran O'Sullivan, Jake O’Halloran, Daniel Goff, Alex Finn, Daniel Lalor, William Irish, Billy Griffin, Rory Wymberry, Conor O’Shea, Conor Keane, Jayden Casey, Davin Power.
