All County Hurling League Division 7 CHAMPIONS
Two first half goals from Seamus Keating set Ardmore up for a fine win against Ballydurn in the hurling league final last Monday evening in Colligan. Ardmore were the better team throughout and were thoroughly deserving of their win. Ardmore led by four points at the end of the first half, but Ballydurn were slow off the mark in the second half and the Ardmore lads used this opportunity to build on the lead and eventually ran out 10 point winners on a scoreline of 2-14 to 1-14. Joint captains, Pádraig Foley and Jack Keane lifted the cup, the first of many we hope this year! The group now turn attention to the Intermediate Hurling Championship when they take on Ballyduff Upper this Saturday evening at 6 o’clock in Cappoquin. We wish the group continued success in the championship.
Deuglán Naofa - All County Hurling League Division 7 CHAMPIONS 2024
Win in Opening Round of Junior C Hurling
Oisín O’Dwyer was a scoring sensation in the first Junior C game of the championship last Friday evening when the lads took on Shamrocks. Oisín scored 1-8 of the 2-12 scored by Ardmore, who edged ahead of Shamrocks in the last ten minutes to win by two points.
Minor Hurling Championship
Best of luck to our Minor Hurlers who take on Tramore on Wednesday evening in Ardmore at 7.30pm in the championship. Come along and show your support for the lads!
Works on our Club and Community Car Park Complete
Phase 2 (surfacing) of the car park was completed last week with Phase 3 (lining) to be completed in 3-4 weeks’ time as the new tar and chip surface needs settling time. During the coming months, the garden area and other auxiliary jobs will be advanced. Already, there is great acknowledgement of the work and the benefits it will bring for those attending matches and training. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project.
Déise Draw Tickets
FINAL CALL – PURCHASE YOUR TICKET NOW All those associated in anyway with Deuglán Naofa will note the vast activity in the club in the last twelve months. New peripheral fencing, initiatives under healthy club, new training tops for the juvenile players and gear for the adults, and of course the car park project. There has been significant outlay to cover all of this and to fund the normal day to day running costs. We also have other works in the pipeline as set out in the Club Plan. Please support our club by purchasing a Déise Draw ticket! With €63 from each sale staying with the club, there’s no better way to pledge your support.
Juvenile Update
The U9s played a football blitz in Dungarvan on Saturday morning with plenty game time for all that travelled. It was football this week also for the U11s who took part in a two game blitz on Monday evening in Cappoquin. These groups are improving with every game. The U12s game against Ferrybank was postponed as Ferrybank couldn’t play so this group enjoyed a break from game time this week. The U15s kick off their hurling championship this week and we wish them the best of luck in their first game against St. Mary’s.
Camogie U8 & U10
We will host our own Under 8 and 10 blitz this Saturday 6th of July with teams travelling from Cappoquin, Butlerstown and Gailltir and will no doubt be a lovely morning of camogie.
Camogie Under 14
Our Under 14s travelled to Ballyduff Lower last Friday evening and after a tough first half the home team were ahead 2.5 to no score at half time. However, after a motivational team talk from management, the girls took up the challenge and played out of their skin scoring 3.6 in the second half and finishing out the match with a draw, 3.6 a piece. Well done girls.
Camogie Under 16
Our Under 16 team will face Abbeyside on Tuesday the 2nd of July at 6.30pm in our home grounds.
