Club Notes 05.08.24
Intermediate Hurling Championship
Hard luck to our intermediate hurlers who came up against a very on form Ballyduff Upper side in the championship last Sunday evening. The lads battled hard but Ballyduff commanded the lead from the whistle, scoring 2-3 in the first 12 minutes with just one point on the board for Ardmore in the same period. The half-time scoreline saw the teams a little closer on 3-6 to 0-8. Ardmore needed goal chances that were hard to get against a very well set up Ballyduff defence. Our lads made good some lovely point scoring opportunities in the game, but ultimately came up short on final scoreline of Ardmore 0-13 to Ballyduff Uppers 3-19.
The club would like to once again thank Aidan Quirke at the Round Tower Hotel for his recent sponsorship of new jerseys for our adult teams.

Junior C Hurling Championship
Best of luck to our Junior C hurlers who take on Kilrossanty this Friday evening in Colligan @7pm in the Western Semi-Final. This team has put in some fine performances this year and will prove tough opponents in this game.
Minor Hurling Championship
Our minors took on Clashmore last Wednesday evening in Ardmore, in a very exciting championship game. The lead was shared right throughout the sixty minutes with the result going down to the wire, the Ardmore boys just shading it on a score of 4-14 to 5-9. This Wednesday evening they take on league toppers Stradbally who are unbeaten in this championship to date. The game is scheduled to take place in Stradbally at 7.30pm, come along and support the lads!
Juvenile Update
A number of blitzes and games were cancelled this week due to the weather, so a number of our juveniles had a break from play this week. However the U15s championship game went ahead and the lads put up a huge score to record a fine win against Kilrossanty, who had beaten us earlier this year in the Féile. This week, the U12s switch to hurling on Friday evening with a home game against Clashmore @6.30pm. In Under 10, Ardmore will host Lismore, Stradbally and Dungarvan this Saturday morning in a Déise Óg blitz. Best of luck to all our juvenile players in this week’s games!
Cake Sale and Raffle for Juvenile Club
Our annual August Bank Holiday weekend cake sale and raffle went ahead in less than favourable weather conditions last Sunday morning. Despite the conditions, business was brisk and over €3k was raised to support the juvenile club for the next 12 months. A very sincere thank you to all the businesses who support us annually. A massive thank you also to those that baked cakes, sold and purchased tickets and supported this event in anyway. Ní neart go cur le Chéile.
Camogie Under 12
Our U12 team took on Ballyduff Upper last Thursday in a very tough battle at home. They are a strong side at this age group with some very good individual players however our girls never gave up and fought to the final whistle. It was not to be our day but we are extremely proud of our girls for never giving up and battling to the very end.
Camogie Under 14
Last Saturday was a big day for our U14’s when they made the journey to Walsh Park to take on St. Annes in the U14 B county final. We knew going into the game that we had a very tough job on our hands as St. Annes have all always been a strong side who give it their all. However, our girls were extremely prepared for the fight and flew into the game from the start. They fought really well as a team which led to some superb scores up front. After a massive second half performance by the girls, we finished out the game victorious at the final whistle on a scoreline of 6.02 to 3.03. Well done to all the girls and their coaches and management on this fantastic win. Thank you also to all our supporters who cheered the girls on the day.
