Under 7’s vs Lismore Hurling Challenge Match Our Under 7’s trav-


elled to Lismore on July 14th


for a challenge hurl-


ing match, a return fix- ture from that we hosted last April. It was a lovely sunny Saturday morn- ing and our players were as usual excited to play Lismore again, who are undoubtedly a tough op- position prospect. We travelled with 23 our


of


Lismore had 16 players, meaning we


players, while split our


group into two groups for two matches vs 8 Lis- more players, for which we would rotate our ex- tra players as subs. Our teams started strongly, well drilled and in good formation holding the Lismore team scoreless. As players were rotated from the Youghal team which ensured equal playing time as much as possible, we lost our shape


somewhat and


the well drilled Lismore teams were able to show- case their fine hurling skills against us. It was a good test for our players and they showed great guile, fighting team spirit and showcased their own improving skillset which they have learned since the two clubs met last Spring. We look forward to fur-


ther tests, further honing their skills, team building and of


course the fun


and craic of playing the wonderful GAA sports! We welcome new players (born 2011) at any time. We train on Saturdays at 10.30-11.30 and Tuesday evenings at 6-7. Contact Manager Chris Mangan 0879141842 for more info.


Under 9’s Fun Inter County Hurling Blitz 21st July The club was a hive


of activity on Saturday last (21st


July) when we


organised and hosted an U-9 Fun Inter Coun- ty Hurling


Blitz. There


were 11 clubs from Cork, Tipperary, Waterford and Kilkenny, represented by over 200 kids and 50 mentors. A huge amount of work went into making this day a success. Played in perfect conditions, our Youghal boys hurled bril- liantly and really enjoyed the day. There were plen- ty of tired boys by the end of the day! Thanks to all who helped out on the day. Any boys (born 2009)
