Club Notes 18.05.25
Adult Hurling
Our Senior Hurling Team put in a strong showing in the league despite being severely hampered by injuries and illness, ultimately falling short to Roanmore on Wednesday night. The final scoreline of 2-20 to 0-16 doesn’t fully reflect the commitment and quality shown across the field in tough circumstances. After a shaky opening 15 minutes where we were down 7 points to 2, we went in 13 points to 5 down at half time. A much stronger showing in the second half, we went toe to toe with them in the third quarter matching them 5 points a piece in this 15 minute period. The last quarter saw Roanmore ring the changes and we were outscored by 2-2 to 0-5 in that period. While we lost it was an industrious enough performance with a lot of good ball being fed into the full forward line. We had three goal chances in the second half which if converted could have made this a much tighter affair scorers were S. Keating (0-5, 0-3f), J O’Brien (0-4), K Murphy (0-3), L Lynch (0-2, 0-1 sideline) and E Flavin (0-1). We turned over a lot of ball which was a good indication of the work rate.
Meanwhile, our Junior team enjoyed a good run-out in a challenge game against the Geraldines on Saturday evening. A solid all-round team performance saw them claim a 1-20 to 0-14 victory — a good boost ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
Juvenile Section
U14 Football Championship
The third round of the U14 football championship saw Cappoquin host Dungarvan on Wednesday 12th. Local lads Daithí Power, Seán Flavin, Aaron Troy, and Tom Howard all played a key role in what turned out to be an impressive victory. After a tight first half, which ended 0-6 to 0-4 in favour of Cappoquin, our side came flying out after the break. A burst of 3 goals and several points early in the second half turned the tide and sealed a commanding 3-10 to 1-5 win.
🗓 Next up: vs Erin's Own on Monday 19th down in the city.
U12 Football
Our U12s hosted The Brickies last Friday in Ardmore in glorious sunshine. With 15 players togged out, everyone enjoyed plenty of game time in a match full of attacking football and great scores. The team continues to perform strongly in the league and hopes remain high for a place in the final later this year.
🗓 Next fixture: Away to Clashmore this coming Friday evening.
U11 Football
Our U11s are gearing up for their football blitz this Wednesday evening at 6:30pm in Ballinameela. Best of luck to all involved!
U10 Hurling Blitz
Our U10 hurlers had their latest outing in a blitz hosted by Dungarvan GAA on Tuesday last. Taking on Ballyduff Upper and the hosts themselves, our 13 players gave it their all – even loaning a few players to the opposition to ensure everyone got game time. Despite many of the boys still recovering from their First Holy Communion celebrations, they showed fantastic spirit and determination.
👏 Big thanks to the boys who sportingly lined out for the opposition!
🗓 Looking ahead:
U9s play their first football blitz of the season at Fraher Field this Saturday
U10s back in action the following Monday evening
Camogie Corner
U8 & U10 Camogie
Our youngest camogie players have been training hard since April, and they’re now gearing up for their first blitz of the season in Abbeyside on Saturday, May 25th. Great excitement ahead!
U14 Camogie
A thrilling game unfolded in Clashmore last Tuesday evening as our U14 girls took on a powerful Lismore side. With both teams in fine form, it was a tight and skilful battle. In the end, our girls edged it by the narrowest of margins, sealing a 1-3 to 1-2 victory thanks to tremendous teamwork and resilience.
🗓 Next game: vs Abbeyside in Ardmore on Tuesday, May 20th
💪 Thanks to all players, coaches, volunteers, and parents for their continued commitment and support across every level of the club. Here’s to another great week of GAA action!
