Football League
Ardmore played their second game of the Division 3 Football League at home against Newtown Saturday. It was a closely fought game all the way through and the win was ultimately decided b last y a great goal from the boot of young Eddie Flavin. The final scoreline was Ardmore 1-13 to Newtown’s 0-9. Attention now turns to the hurling league for the next two weeks with our first game against Ballydurn away next Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m.
County Duty
Deuglán Naofa clubmen will see plenty of action with the County jersey in the coming week. Luke Hennessy will start at midfield with the County Minor Football Team when they take on Clare in the first round of the Munster Championship on Tuesday evening in Quilty in Co. Clare. Luke is keeping a good Hennessy family tradition of inter county duty going in style. Luke’s grandad, John Hennessy was inducted into the Munster GAA Hall of Fame with a remarkable record of three Railway Cup winning medals with Munster in 1975, 1977 and 1978. Like Luke, Grandad John was a midfielder and lined out at midfield for Waterford throughout the 1970s and was a key figure in the Déise’s promotion to Division 1 of the NFL during that decade. John was also a selector in 2003 when the Deise Footballers won the Munster Under-21 Football final where Luke’s Uncle Niall was team captain on that day! We wish Luke and the Waterford squad every success in the upcoming championship!
Our stalwart defender Jack Keane will be part of the Waterford panel that play Tipperary in the Munster Senior Football Championship next Sunday, in what will be a tough fixture for the side.
Juvenile Club Championships
There’s plenty of action this week for the juveniles with the U15s in action against Tramore in the first round of the football championship. Ardmore take on St. Olivers in the first round of the U13 football championship on Wednesday evening in Ardmore at 6.30pm, while the U12s will travel to Clashmore on Friday evening for the first match in the Déise Óg U12 Football league.
