U12 Hurling & Football
Following on from the enjoyable activity days in Cork and Limerick, our U12s travelled to Thurles for the last in the series of U12 Activity Days. It was another great opportunity for the players to play at a county ground. In the last few weeks we have enjoyed hurling and football games against teams from all the Counties of Munster winning 7, drawing 1 and just the 1 narrow defeat. Great credit is due to the players for their application and sporting attitiude during games and their excellent behaviour off the pitch; they were great representatives of the club. The series was very enjoyable for all and the players enjoyed tours of the grounds and meeting with intercounty players, Paul Browne, Paul Kerrigan and Brendan Maher. The players provided a great insight into the world of senior intercounty hurling and football. Thanks to all the parents who provided lifts to players over the last 3 weeks, ensuring all available players were able to travel to games. It would not have been possible without their willing co-operation. Despite work commitments and holidays, the coaches Ger Riordan, Noel Quirke, Colm Coughlan and Noel Kennedy put in a huge effort co-ordinating the activity days and ensuring the players got to make the most of this great opportunity. Thanks also to the Limerick GDAs Noel Hartigan and Ger Downes for their efforts and also to Joe Reddington and other Munster Council representatives for the welcoming and efficient manner in which the days were run.
U12 Hurling and Football training continues every Sunday Evening for Football and Mondays for hurling. It is great to still see such good numbers turning up for training during the holiday period and hopefully with numbers increasing from now on we can start to look at organising some more challenge matches in both hurling and football over the coming months . We also have the final phases of the U12 Leagues coming up so it is going to be a busy 2 months ahead.
U8 & U10 Football
Crecora Manister GAA Club currently field underage football teams at all competitive levels from U12 to Minor. The club would like to ensure we continue to field football teams at all underage levels so we have commenced football training for U8 and U10s on Sundays from 6pm to 7pm.
We would also like to hear from anybody who would like to help out in any way, however small, with coaching football at this age group. For further details contact Noel Kennedy 086-1589256
