The U12 hurlers travelled to play Mizen Rovers in Goleen on Thursday 23rd June. The team didn’t get much time to settle and there were three goals in the net in the first minute. The first half continued in a similar manner and it looked to be a long and fruitless journey. Credit to the lads as they turned around in the second half and it was as if a different team was playing. After a mighty effort the gap was too big but it was a encouraging performance by one and all. Team Odhran Kerrisk, Jamie O’Donoghue, Davina Connolly, Christy Wilson, Ellis Wilson, Myles Tobin, Dara Tobin, Ian Jennings, Conor Nash, Ashley Deane, Chantelle French.

The U14 hurlers were in championship action on Sunday 12the June when they took on Ilen Og in Skibbereen. Fielding a young team against a much stronger team physically they put in a superb effort. While they were defeated the score line did not do justice to the spirit shown. Many of these players were in action again on Monday night when they played Pedlars Cross in the U13 football league. This was a very competitive game between two evenly matched teams. With the team having a more balanced look and everyone giving their all they were able to gain an encouraging win. The U 12 footballers and the U10 hurlers were also in action during the week.
The club will hold a Cul camp  on the 2nd -5th August . Anybody interested should register with Johnny O’Sullivan on 086 8190122 as soon as possible.
