Academy notes
Our U17 hurlers are into the "A" Championship semi-final after winning 4 from 7 rounds. Opponents are Inagh-Kilnamona with the tie likely to be Saturday 23rd at a neutral venue. Hard luck to our U17 Academy team who were beaten in the "A" Championship semi-final on Monday evening v Doora-Barefield.
U14 hurlers are finding the going tough in the "A" competition. After a heavy loss to Cratloe they put in a good performance against a vastly more physical Inagh-Kilnamona on Sunday staying in running for a large part of the game. Our second U14 team are competing in the Academy "B" competition.
U14 football competition begins 23rd September.
Thomas Barry has been introduced to the majority of Academy Lead Coaches recently and he will be taking a number of training sessions with the groups.
