Notes 23/4/12

On Thursday night 19/4/12 the minor hurlers travelled to play Gabriel’s in Ballydehob. With limited numbers available and some of those having already had tough school games during the day it was a big ask. Never the less those present put in a good effort and the game was competitive before losing on the score 2-14 to 3-5. 

On Sunday morning the U12 footballers were away to Clanna Gael and for the second week running were on the right side of a one point winning margin 5-2 to 2-10.

The important match this week is the 1^st round of the junior A football championship when Kilmacabea take on Barryroe in Clonakilty on Saturday, 28^th April at 4.30pm.Support is important.

An interesting article in the Irish Examiner on Saturday 21^st April, on the development of the GAA in Spain including the involvement of underage players. Featured in the article was Colm O’Donovan, Sunnyhill, Leap who is involved with Valencia. Colm was a fine player with Kilmacabea underage, 10-15 years ago. It is good to see the games being promoted to new audiences. It is a reflection of the times with people scattered throughout the world in the search of employment especially in the current economic climate, the role the GAA plays in people lives and the importance in the social network.
