Good luck to the Under 10 Football team in the final of the Mini All-Ireland competition this Saturday. The boys reached the final after overcoming St Martins in the semi final in a close fought game on Tuesday night. The Mini All-Ireland is an annual competition organised by St Johns Volunteers. Throw in for the final is 3pm.
The minor camogie team play in the county final on Bank Holiday Monday (7th of May) in Taghmon, at 11.45am. They would very much appreciate your support.
Best of luck girls!
The Under 10s opened their Caulfied League campaign with an away win in Clongeen. Getting used to the competition's zonal rules took a little time for both teams, but a strong first-half performance from Cushinstown proved decisive. Clongeen 1-3, Cushinstown 3-3.
The Under 10 hurlers got their season underway on Saturday with a hurling blitz in New Ross. The blitz was designed to grade teams for the forthcoming Caulfield League. The boys acquitted themselves well, losing very narrowly to The Rower/Insitioge and recording wins against both Tullogher and Adamstown. The Caulfield League proper will start in May.
_The u14s began their season by competing in the Hurling Feile held in Taghmon. In their first game we started well but some poor second half play resulted in a defeat to Geraldine O Hanrahans on a score of 4-1 to 1-2. In our second game we defeated Horeswood by 4-2 to 0-0 and completed the day by losing out to Taghmon on a 1-4 to 0-1 scoreline.
In our first football game of the season we played local rivals Geraldine O Hanrahans. We dominated the first half to lead by 10 points but allowed Ross in for a few late scores to cause a few nervous moments near the end of the game. We were able to hold out for a 3-10 to 3-7 victory.
It is hoped that we will improve on these performances by regular training and all players are encouraged to attend all training and games.
This Sunday's (April 15th) Junior Football Championship opener has been postponed, due to Danny Carroll's call-up to the senior county hurling panel for the relegation battle against Laois (congrats Danny!). The football match will probably be rescheduled for the 27-29th of April.
