UNDER 8 HURLERS:
Our Under 8 hurlers took part in their second
hurling blitz which took place in Ballygunner last Saturday morning. The team
played Ballygunner, De La Salle, Mount Sion, and despite been defeated in two
of the games, and winning one game, the lads defended well, and the forwards
got some excellent scores in all three matches.
TEAM: Jacob Richards, Rory Simpson, Jack
Hoban, Evan Mullally, Daniel Roche, Harry Suton, Morgan Fitzgerald Flood.
CLOTHING COLLECTION:
It’s that time of the year again, where I’m
sure your house could do with a spring clean. So if you have any unwanted
clothes, paired shoes, belts, handbags, curtains, towels, soft toys etc., or
any old mobile phones or laptops (please keep mobile phones and laptops
separate from clothing items), you can drop them down to the GAA grounds on
Saturday mornings from 10am to 2pm. The closing date will be Saturday April 2nd.
