U12 hurling
We travelled to Roanmore on Tuesday evening last to play our U12 hurling league fixture. It was a very warm evening and our lads played an outstanding game against a strong opposition. This was Roanmore’s first team, so we were up against a strong Senior club. In the end the width of the crossbar cost us as the Sliotar came back out instead of going over to give us a draw or going under to give us a win. Final score was Ardmore 5-10 — Roanmore 6-08.
U14 hurling
On Wednesday evening we travelled to Clashmore for our U14 hurling fixture. Another beautiful warm evening and a very good competitive game was played. The lead changed hands on a number of occasions and in the end a late goal by Clashmore caught us. The score was Ardmore 2-07 Clashmore 3-07
Back to football this week and we are away to Cappoquinn/Affane
Camogie Notes

In Remembrance – Paul Foley R.I.P.
Our club was deeply saddened at the passing of Paul Foley, Ardmore, Co. Waterford, formerly of Ballygarvan, Co. Cork. Paul was a passionate supporter and dedicated coach who gave generously of his time, energy and encouragement to our club and its members.
Above all, Paul was a devoted family man, and our thoughts are with his loving wife Sandra, his children Jack and Robyn, and his extended family at this very difficult time. Paul’s presence will be greatly missed, but his contribution and spirit will long be remembered within our club.

St Declans GAA Poc Fada
What an incredible day filled with fun, laughter and true community spirit. From start to finish, the support shown was amazing, and we are sincerely grateful to everyone who took part, donated, helped out, or cheered us on along the way.
We were blessed with fantastic weather, a stunning scenic village backdrop, and a superb turnout on the day. It was especially heartening to see such a diverse representation involved — boys and girls, men and women, past, present and future club stars — with some Waterford stalwarts also on show in Séamus and Declan Prendergast and Clinton Hennessy.
Congratulations to all our winners on the day — thoroughly well deserved. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised approximately €3,500 for the club, which is truly phenomenal. This support means everything and will help keep the club thriving.
Days like this remind us how lucky we are to live here and to be part of such a special community. A great occasion all round — and one we’ll definitely be repeating again next Christmas.
We look forward to 2026 onwards and upwards for the Village and the Club.

St Declan’s GAA Club Ardmore – AGM Update
Following last night’s Club AGM, we would like to share some important updates and, most importantly, extend our sincere thanks to those who have given so much of their time and effort to the club.
Both Chairman Nicky Keating and Treasurer Nora Fitzgerald informed the club that they would be stepping down and not seeking re-election. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Nicky and Nora for their incredible 7-year stint in these roles, and for their many years of dedication to St Declan’s both before and during that time. The commitment, hard work and countless hours they gave to the club have left us in a very strong and positive position. Thankfully, they won’t be disappearing anytime soon and will continue to be around to guide and support the new team.
The club is pleased to confirm the following officers were voted in and agreed:
Chairman: Seamus Prendergast
Vice Chair: Mike Murray
Secretary: Martin Keevers (continuing in role)
Treasurer: Damien Lenihan
We wish Seamus, Mike, Martin and Damien every success in their new roles and look forward to working together in the years ahead.
We would also like to thank Jay Prendergast for his very distinguished service as our County Board Delegate, as he now passes the baton to Nicky Keating.
With the reins being handed over in such a positive position, it’s very much onwards and upwards for St Declan’s GAA Club Ardmore
We would also like to note our adult managers will be as per last year with Mike Murray looking after hurling, Adrian O’Donnell football and Cathal Hennessy taking the reigns at both codes for the Under 20’s.

Brave Rally Seals County Title for Juveniles U 16 in Lemybrien Thriller
Our Juvenile squad signed off their season in style on Wednesday night, capturing the county final in a wet and windswept Lemybrien with a hard-fought 3-08 to 3-06 victory over Clashmore.
In dreadful conditions, both teams served up an outstanding contest. Clashmore opened the scoring with the first two points, but once we settled, our forwards found their range. Points from Charlie and Jack, followed by a superbly taken goal from Séamus, put us in a strong position midway through the half. However, we failed to push on while on top, and Clashmore finished the half impressively, hitting 2-02 in the closing minutes to lead 2-03 to 1-02 at the interval.
Facing a four-point deficit and a stiff breeze in the second half, our task looked daunting. But the team showed real character, with early points from Aaron and John narrowing the gap. Just as momentum seemed to be swinging our way, Clashmore struck for 1-02, pushing their advantage to 3-06 to 1-04 with twelve minutes remaining.
What followed was a remarkable response. Three unanswered points from John, Aaron, and Padraig brought us back within five, setting up a frantic finale. With time running out, full back Paudi Keane pushed forward and produced a heroic burst, scoring 2-01 in the dying minutes to turn the game on its head. A last-ditch goalmouth clearance preserved the lead, sealing a memorable county title.
The victory was all the more impressive given the absence of Eoin, Conor, and both Seán’s through injury. It capped a superb year for the group, who won 13 of their 14 championship matches across hurling and football.
Panel: Cathal, Eoghan, Paudie, Tom, Padraig, Jimmy, Charlie, Aaron, Daithí, Jack (capt), John, Aaron T., Séamus, Logan, Harry.

U13 hurling
We played Abbeyside B on Sunday morning in Abbeyside in the under 13 hurling league. It was a lovely bright and calm morning which led to some really good hurling being played. The Ardmore team played really well and came out on top in the end with a final score of 6-07 to 1-07. We have two games left, our next game is against Dungarvan on Sunday evening in Ardmore at 5 o clock.
U9 & U10 Report
Hard to believe, but Wednesday, Oct 1st was the first time in 10 weeks that our U9 and U10’s trained together, not because of an extended summer break only becoming of a politician, but due to the week on week nature of the blitz season over the summer with either or in some cases both age groups having game on almost a weekly basis. With that in mind, our U9’s not content with taking on what the county of Waterford has to offer, took to the road on Saturday last to Mallow, Co. Cork for a Munster U9 Football blitz in the GAA sports complex. Another extremely well organized blitz with our own counties Head of Games Eoin Breathnach in overall charge of a morning’s operations that took in 9 venues in five Munster counties.
Our boys played Ardfinnan of Tipperary and Buttevant and Mallow of Cork in three 15 minute games. The boys showed great skill and composure over the three games and showed that they can more than hold their own at Munster level! As the season nears an end, the morning showed just how far this group have come over the season and they can be justifiably proud. We wish all the best to our players from both Grange and Ardmore national schools taking part in their respective finals in Cumman na mBunScoil this coming weekend.

U9 Report
Our U9’s had a busy fortnight, with football blitz’s hosted by Cappoquin and St Pat’s on consecutive Wednesdays. In Cappoquin, we had three games, against the hosts, Clashmore and Brickey Rangers. All teams gave full blooded commitment over the three matches and we had a lot of tired bodies as the end of it. The following week, the boys were in action in Bohadoon, playing Cappoquin and Nire. The team put in one of their best performances of the summer over the two football games and went home a happy bunch. The rollercoaster continues with blitz’s in U10 and U9 over the coming week.

U9 & U10 Report
Our U10s had a special outing last weekend as they played at half-time in the Western Junior A Hurling Final in Fraher Field against co-finalists Kilrossanty. It was a fantastic experience for the boys to showcase their skills in front of a big crowd. Sincere thanks to Katie Walsh and the Western Board for organising this wonderful opportunity.
The busy week continued with an U9 Football Blitz on Wednesday, where Ardmore hosted Affane, An Ghaeltacht (with two teams), and Lismore. All the games were closely contested, with great effort and determination shown throughout. It was very encouraging to see the boys’ continued development in football. The blitzes keep coming, with Ardmore set to host an U9 Hurling Blitz this week — a perfect chance for our return-to-schoolers to release any leftover energy from their first week back in class!
U12 Football Final
On Saturday morning our U12 footballers contested their final against Affane/Cappoquin in Bushy Park. In beautiful sunshine, the game got underway with an early goal from Jordan Walsh giving Ardmore the perfect start. From there, Affane/Cappoquin piled on the pressure, but goalkeeper Ross produced a superb display, denying at least four certain goal chances. Half-time score: Ardmore 1-01 Affane/Cappoquin 0-02.
The second half was a thrilling affair, with both teams trading fine scores. Midway through, Affane/Cappoquin struck for a goal and edged one point ahead. Ardmore responded brilliantly, with four excellent points putting us two clear as the final whistle approached. Determined defending saw us hold out for a famous win on a final score of Ardmore 1-05, Affane/Cappoquin 1-03.
This talented group have enjoyed a hugely positive year so far, and now turn their attention back to hurling, with a final to look forward to in the coming weeks. Training resumes Wednesday evening at 7pm.
Club News – Exciting New Project!
Over the coming months, work will begin on an exciting new addition to our club facilities — an Adventure Trail at our grounds. This project is being developed in conjunction with Ardmore GAA Club and the Ardmore Community Group, with the generous support of a local benefactor.
The Adventure Trail will be another fantastic amenity for both the club and community. As part of the works, the long jump will also be relocated. We look forward to keeping everyone updated as the project progresses, and we thank members and visitors for their patience during construction. A draft design is available, and a presentation will be shared on our WhatsApp information group.

Let’s Rally Behind Our Club – We Need You!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Win a House Draw – your generosity keeps our club alive. Congratulations as well to John Prendergast, who walked away with €250 in the Déise Draw – well deserved, John!
But friends, we need to talk.
At our recent club meeting, just six people attended. That’s six out of an entire community. This isn’t sustainable. A rural club like ours thrives on the strength of its volunteers and members – without you, we simply can’t function. It’s not fair – or possible – for the same few to carry the load time and again.
If you care about keeping our club alive and thriving for the next generation, now is the time to step up. Your time, your energy, your ideas – they matter.
We urge you: join us at the next meeting. Even showing up makes a difference. Watch our social media for dates – and come along if you can.
We also have a Bake Sale coming up on August 17th, and we need all hands on deck. Whether you’re a budding baker or a master of the sponge cake, we welcome your cakes, buns, breads, and bakes with open arms. And if you can help out on the day, even better – we’d love to have you. There will be raffle tickets available from club members during the week , with some nice prizes on the day.
This is your club. Let’s build it together.

Ardmore 2-12, Abbeyside 3-09
An Rinn played host to a sun-drenched evening of hurling, where Ardmore faced off against Abbeyside. Ardmore started brightly but were hit by two soft goals that left them trailing by five points at halftime.
With the breeze at their backs in the second half, Ardmore quickly narrowed the gap with a flurry of points. The turning point came when Seamus Prendergast, moved to full-forward, was dragged down for a penalty. James Flavin stepped up and confidently slotted it home. A second goal from James followed shortly after, putting Ardmore in a strong position as the match entered its final minutes.
However, a couple of late points from Abbeyside saw the game end in a draw—a fair result on the night, though Ardmore will rue their sluggish start. With three teams now tied for second place in the table, a win this week is crucial.
Next up: Lismore on Saturday evening.

U8 Blitz Action
A wet and miserable evening in Kilrossanty couldn’t dampen the spirits of our boys and girls as they took to the field for three games of football against Clashmore, Brickey’s, and the hosts, Kilrossanty. We came away with two great wins and were narrowly beaten by a strong Kilrossanty side.
It’s been a busy summer for our U8s, travelling across the county to take part in various blitzes. With our schedule nearly wrapped up, we’ll soon be back to regular training. Next up is a trip to Ballyduff Upper this Wednesday evening for more U8 football action.

We hosted an U8 and U10 blitz last Saturday evening in Ardmore, despite very damp and challenging weather conditions. Our young players put on a fantastic display across three competitive games against Tallow, Cappoquin, and Ballyduff Lower.

Our U12 league campaign reached a brilliant conclusion last Saturday as we proudly lifted the Division C Shield after an exciting final against Tramore. The teams were evenly matched, delivering a thrilling contest for our travelling supporters in Cappoquin. With a large panel on the day, every girl who took to the field gave an outstanding effort. Our midfielders worked tirelessly, driving the team forward and helping to secure the win.
Team captains Aebhin Flavin and Rosie Roche led by example with superb performances, proving themselves to be excellent leaders. A special mention goes to Caitlin Sheehan, who was named Player of the Match for St. Declan’s after an exceptional display in midfield.
Sincere thanks to Eoin, Michelle, Miriam, and Tom for their dedication throughout the season. Their commitment and guidance made this a truly memorable year for the girls.
Under 18
A proud moment in our club’s history took place last Thursday as we fielded our very first minor team since the club’s founding. Supported by players from An Rinn and Dungarvan, we faced a strong Abbeyside side in a brilliant game of camogie, narrowly missing out by just a single point.
This milestone is a remarkable achievement for our small club, as many of these girls began their journey at U8 level and have now grown into skilled and confident minor players. A huge well done to all involved—what an inspiring moment for the future of camogie in our community.

Ardmore 4-18 Affane/Cappoquin/Tourin 2-08
Good win: 4-18 to 2-8 gets our championship campaign back on track.
We led 1-12 to 0-6 at half time after a strong first-half showing. Cappoquin fought back well in the third quarter, cutting the margin to just three points going into the final 15 minutes. But goals proved decisive—we hit three in the closing stages to open up a big gap and see it out comfortably.
Great performances all over the field, especially from the half forward line who contributed 2-5 from play. Other standouts were Eoin O’Shea, Luke Hennessy on his adult championship debut, and James Flavin making a welcome return after missing all of last year’s championship.
Next up: Abbeyside in Ring on Friday evening.
Scorers: J Flavin 2-3(0-2 frees), K Murphy (2-0), O O’Dwyer 0-3 (all frees), L Hennessy 0-3, J O’Brien, S Prendergast, E O’Shea 0-2 each, P Foley, M Coakley 0-1 each.
