Condolences
Deuglán Naofa would like to extend deepest condolences to Peter Power on the recent passing of his wife Mary. Peter is a good friend of Deuglán Naofa and has a special connection to the club having trained us in 1989 when we won the Junior B hurling championship.
Condolences also to brothers James, Declan, Brendan and Kieran Hurley and their extended family on the sad passing of their mother Joan Hurley.

Juvenile Update
Our U8s and U9s had a busy week last week, not just with a return to school but also on the pitch! The U8s were first into action with a blitz in Bohadoon last Wednesday. They did very well in their games against An Ghaeltacht and St. Pats, especially in view of the fact they hadn’t kicked a ball in weeks! Next up were the U9s on Saturday who played Clashmore and An Ghaeltacht in a hurling blitz in Clashmore. The boys put in a great performance in the early Autumn sun.

Camogie Under 12C Plate Final
Ardmore played host to the Under 12 C finals last Saturday and we couldn’t have gotten a better venue or weather to take on a very tough Tramore side on a gorgeous sunny day in our home grounds. Tramore started off the stronger side dominating the first half with the wind and putting our backline under serious pressure. However we dug deep in defence and done extremely well to hold them to minimal scores. A quick ball sent into Aebhín Flavin resulted in a brilliant finish and left nothing between the teams at half time. After what must have been a rousing half time talk from the coaches, the girls took to the field in the second half looking a lot more determined and driven. They fought tirelessly and every girl must be commended for their hard work and will to win at all costs. Our forwards saw a lot more action in the second half resulting in two fine goals, one from Rosie Roche and one from our hardworking midfielder Róisín Ní Dhroma. The game finished up 3 goals to 1.4 at the final whistle much to the delight of our supporters who turned out in force on the day.
A special mention must go to Meadhbh Dunne who received player of match for Ardmore and also was joint Captain on the day with Róisín Ní Dhroma. Also a special thanks to our team coaches Eoin, Michelle, Agnes and Tom for all their hardwork throughout the year with the girls. Team was as follows; Maeve Prendergast, Meadhbh Dunne, Caitlin Begley, Grace O’Neill, Laura Beausang, Katie Keane, Chloe Webster, Róisín Ní Dhroma, Eline Tobin, Saoirse Fraher, Rosie Roche, Hannah Grace Hally, Aebhín Flavin, Sadhbh Foley, Sadie Prendergast, Catelyn Sheehan, Aoife Levins.
