While we are nearing October there are still lots of GAA matches , Blitz’s , County Semi finals and finals to be played and most groups are still training .
Under 13 Hurling
Our U13 Hurlers are competing in the league at the moment. This is a step up for a lot of players from small pitches and goals to playing Full pitch , 15 a side games with official referee in a competitive environment . What we have seen from the first couple of games is that the players have the skills but are still getting to grips with the speed and movement and increased physicality of the competitive game. This is what the U13 league is for – to prepare the players for U14’s , give them a taster of what is ahead and also allow the coaches time to prepare and up the training intensity for the U14 Feile and championship games. The lads have a number of games remaining in both hurling and Football and your support of them would be greatly appreciated. Fixtures listed below.
Under 16 Hurling
Kilpeacon U16 hurlers will contest the Premier Division Shield Final on Saturday 23rd Sept at 1pm in Mick Neville Park , Rathkeale. There is huge promise in this team and panel of players who were very unlucky to miss out in the Cup Semi’s but are well deserving of their place in this final. Opponents in the sheild final are our near neighbours Mungret so there will be a little added intensity to the game as both clubs have a great friendly rivalry over the last number of years . It would be great to have a big support out in Rathkeale at 1pm for what promises to be a good , close game . We wish the players and management all the best and hope you can bring the trophy home with you.
Minor Football
Our Minor Footballers are looking forward to a county Semi Final against Caherconlish on the 7th Oct in Dooley park , Southliberties with a 2.30pm throw in. While numbers are tight at this age-group, we are playing as Crecora Manister and with our Minor County footballers Karl and Paul leading the charge hopefully the result will be a good one and another County Final in the reckoning . Again best of luck to all and with the match on so close to us it would again be great to get some support for the players and management at thisgame.
Under 6, 8 and 10s
Our U6 / U8 and U10’s are still training , playing Blitz’s , challenge matches etc so well done to all for keeping it going..
