GAA
Congrats & well done to DLS College venue Player of the Week U7 Jake Moore & to Tommy Mcgrath the Butlers Hall venue Hurler of the Week. Well Done to all the boys at both locations, who are making fantastic progress at mastering the skills . In the U8s, well done to Eddie Emmett Power player of the week for the Butler Hall venue & for DLS College, Congrats to Leon Browne. The coaches speak every highly of all the improvements being made on skills by all the boys and this was on display in the U8 Blitz v Tramore in Gracedieu on Sunday morning. Some great photos thanks to John O' Neill on Social Media. Well done boys, keep up the good work and thanks to the parents for all your support.

Unfortunately for their first get together of the campaign, our U15 Footballers went down to St Mary’s. A lapse in focus during the first half saw us punished, however the score line didn't reflect the flow of play and if the early goal scoring opportunities had been taken, would certainly have been a different score. In the second half, the lads dug deep to match the opposition with a penalty going against us. An inspiring last 10 minutes saw Oisin Power put two well taken frees over. Better days ahead for this team with the talent and potential on display.

Well Done to Waterford Management, team and squad on a great ten-point win over Tipperary in the League and particularly to Shaun O Brien, Shane McNulty & Jack Fagan who were all on top of their game.
