Club News 6th Sept 2021

Junior

Our Junior As put in another fine performance last Friday evening to defeat Borrisoleigh by 9 points in Round 4 of the Championship. The score in the game was 2 – 18 to 1- 12 with Cian Crowley and Craig Hilmi getting the goals. This win means we retain top spot in the table and a semi final place guaranteed. Our final group game is against Kilruane which will take place the weekend after next.

Hard luck to our Junior Bs who lost out to Ballina at the weekend on a scoreline 1-19 to 1-12, Sean McTiernan getting our goal. This now ends this group’s interest in the championship. Thanks to mentors Brian Maxwell, David Minogue, Stephen Ryan and Enda O’Sullivan for all their work with this group over the past few months and to all the players for their commitment.

CAMOGIE NEWS

Senior team

With under 2 weeks to the first round of the championship, the seniors have upped the intensity of training and with all players back, this squad is beginning to see its potential. A comfortable win on Friday against a depleted Shinrone team along with good performances in other recent challenge matches highlights the ability in this team and suggests that these girls will give a good account for themselves when the championship starts. With one final challenge arranged for next Sunday we hope to be chomping at the bit on Saturday 18th September at home to Silvermines to kick off our championship quest.

Under 15s

We will be entering a team in the u15 league, details of which will be released shortly by the County Board, once they know which clubs are entering. It is due to start late in September and games will be played on Saturdays over the following 6 weeks. This will be a great opportunity for the girls to stay active into the winter.

Under 14s

The very best of luck to our u14s, who play their county semi-final against Roscrea in Roscrea this Monday evening at 6.45pm.

Under 12s

U12 Team 2 played against Toomevara last Thursday and we scored some great goals but sadly lost in the end. Well done to all. We continue with training on Monday and we will soon be playing in the semifinals.
