10 November 2019 Club News

Our under-21’s lose out to Roscrea, the Primary schools welcome our hurling heroes and the under-13 camógs lose out to Ballina. All this and more in this week’s news on the Blues

Under-21 

Hard luck to our under-21 hurlers who were defeated by Roscrea in the North championship on Sunday morning, 1-15 to 0-19. They now play Toomevara in the quarter final in two-weeks time.

Junior Football

Unfortunately the North junior football championship has been postponed until the Spring due to the recent weather and lack of available playing pitches. As a result we have cancelled training until further notice.

Fenway Classic

Best of luck to Barry, Jake and the Tipperary team who are travelling to the USA next weekend to play in the Fenway Classic. Have a great time lads.

School Visits

Our All-Ireland hurling champions Jake Morris, Barry Heffernan and Conor McCarthy received a heroes welcome when they visited the local primary schools during the week with the trophies they won this year. The lads were blown away with the kindness and enthusiasm of the staff and students as the schools were turned blue and gold by the young supporters of the Premier county. Once again we wish to thank all the staff in our schools for kindly promoting Gaelic games and passing on a love of hurling, camogie and Gaelic football to our young players. 

Best Wishes

We extend our best wishes to Shane O’Neill who was appointed Galway senior hurling manager this week. Shane has been helping out our senior team in recent years.

Under-10 Camogie

Our under-10 girls started a four-week winter training program on the astroturf in Nenagh College on Saturday morning last. Great to see so many of the girls out and if your daughter would like to try camogie please come along this Saturday at 10am.

Under-13 Camogie

The under-13 girls bowed out of the championship in their semi-final over the weekend. We were well in touch at half time but Ballina pulled away in the second half. Well done to all the girls who put in a great effort on the day. Thanks also to all the parents for coming to support us on Saturday morning and all year. Please encourage the girls to stay hurling over the winter with their schools. Enjoy the break!

Gaelscoil

Congratulations to the Gaelscoil who won not one, but two county finals this week in Gaelic football. Fantastic achievement and well done to all involved.
