Junior C Hurling Championship
Hard luck to our Junior C hurlers who came up short against Kilrossanty last Friday evening in in the Western Semi-Final. Kilrossanty were very tough opponents on the evening and proved too strong for our young squad on this occasion. We wish them the best of luck in the final.
Minor Hurling Championship
Last Wednesday evening our minors took on league toppers Stradbally who are unbeaten in this championship to date. While Stradbally took the spoils on this occasion, we are already qualified for the knockout stages of the championship and will be looking forward to another duel with this side in the weeks ahead.
Juvenile Update
After a short break, our U8s and U9s are back in hurling blitz action this week, the U8s heading to Cappoquin on Wednesday while the U9s are on the road to Tallow on Saturday! Our U10s had a home blitz last Saturday morning, playing Stradbally and Dungarvan. There was some great hurling played between the three teams with plenty of scores.
Deuglán Naofa U10s at the blitz in Ardmore last Saturday
The U11s played a very competitive blitz this Monday just gone, playing Cois Bríd and Clonea in two very competitive games. The U12s played Clashmore last Friday evening and while our squad enjoyed some good patches of play, it was Clashmore that ran out winners on the evening. The U12s will be back in action this Friday when we play Brickeys at home at 6.30pm.
Deuglán Naofa U15s – Winners of the Midleton GAA Annual Bill O’Keeffe Hurling Tournament Shield
The highlight of the week was without doubt the success of our U15s in the Bill O’Keeffe hurling tournament in Midleton last Sunday. Their opening game was against Danesfort of Kilkenny who proved no match for our lads who won this game on a scoreline of 2-07 to 0-03. After a short break we played our second game which was against the hosts Midleton. Taking confidence from the first game, Deuglán Naofa were again the better team in this duel and won with relative ease as they did in their third game against Douglas to set themselves up for a tournament final against hosts Midleton. From the whistle in this game, the lads meant business and soared ahead with a half time lead of 1-06 to 0-00. The second half was no different with a flurry of scores putting an 18 point difference between the sides at full time. On the day we played some great hurling with outstanding scores from our forwards and excellent defensive performances also. The panel was as follows; Daithí Power, Logan Griffen, Paudie Keane, Sean Flavin, John Hickey, Dara Foley, Jimmy Keevers, Conor Bree, Aaron McNamara, Charlie Power, Thomas Hallahan, John O’Brien (captain), Oisin Mansfield, Cathal Foley, Séamus Twomey, Eoghan Murphy and Pádraig Foley. John O’Brien was an inspired captain on the day and accepted the shield on behalf of the team. This win will give a great boost to this young squad who have showed great potential this season.

Camogie Under 14 Intercounty
We are very well represented on the county scene this year with five of our girls on the U14 County Development panels. Mary Kate Keevers, Sarah Murray and Raonaid from An Rinn who assists our U16 squad all had great success with the Waterford Stripes team winning the final of their division. Lizzie Prendergast and Maisie Roche along with selector Declan Prendergast who were part of the Waterford blue squad were very unlucky to lose out in their final by a goal late in injury time. It’s great to see our small club being well represented at county level.
