Intermediate Hurling Championship
Ardmore played Ballyduff Upper in their first-round match in Cappoquin on Saturday evening. Playing against the wind the first half, Ardmore had just three points on the board halfway through the first half, against Ballyduff Upper 1-6. Seamus Keating had a decent goal chance denied but his converted frees and points by Liam Lynch and James Kennedy kept them in touch to leave the score at half time 1-12 to 0-7. Seamus Prendergast and Seamus Keating combined to score a half dozen points between them early in the second half but their chasing of the game wasn’t to be enough with Ballyduff Upper second goal finally putting it out of reach in added time, despite a gallant second half effort by our lads.
Next weekend we return to Cappoquin pitch take on Colligan in our second round match. Colligan got their championship off to a good start with their win against An Rinn at the weekend. The game is set for 5pm on Saturday. Come along and show your support.
Second Win in Junior C Hurling Championship
This group built on their win against Shamrocks last week with another fine win against Ballysaggart at the weekend on a scoreline of 2-17 to 0-13.This time the scoring sensation was none other than Joe McNamara who clocked up 1-5 on the scoreboard. Well done to Joe and all the squad. Their next match will be against Dungarvan next Sunday at 12 in Ardmore.
Juvenile Update
The U7s took to the field in style in Ballinameela last Wednesday evening and played three great games of hurling against St. Pats, St. Olivers and Clashmore. Well done to this group who are a bundle of enthusiasm!
The U10s played a hurling and football mixed blitz in Ardmore last Saturday morning with plenty game time for all that were available. It was hurling this week for the U12s who travelled to the home of hurling in Ballygunner. The team put in a fine performance and were just a few points shy for the win at the whistle.
The U15s had a hurling championship game against St. Marys last week in Kill. St. Marys saw three players red carded during the match in a game that will only be remembered for disciplinary standards that fell well below expectation on the part of St. Marys. The U15s play Dungarvan this week where they will look to record the first win of the championship.
CÚL CAMP takes place in Ardmore this week – hope all our juvenile players get the best of enjoyment from the annual fun fest!

Camogie U10
We hosted our own Under 10 blitz on a beautiful sunny morning last Saturday in Ardmore. We had three very competitive games against Butlerstown, Gailtir and Cappoquin and our girls played extremely well getting stuck in from the very start. They have progressed a lot since their first blitz and are really coming together as a team. Our Under 8’s had no blitz on the day due to low numbers from the visiting clubs, they did however take part in training for an hour and still got their very valuable goodie bags.
Camogie Under 16
Our Under 16 team lost out to Abbeyside last Tuesday in a very tough game of camogie. We will face Mount Sion next in their home grounds on Tuesday 9th of July at 6.30pm.
Camogie Training
Training will take place for all ages Tuesday at 6.30pm, all new members are welcome.
