Kilworth GAA Notes 24/02/2020
Senior hurling league off to promising start
D2HL result – Kilworth 1:15, Carrigtwohill 0:18.
Last Sunday saw our hurlers play their first league match as Seniors away to Carrigtwohill. This was an exciting day for the club to play our first game as Seniors. After 5 minutes of neither side scoring, Eoin Carey scored 2 points for Kilworth a minute apart. Noel McNamara, Liam Whelan and Will Condon all got their name on the score sheet which ensured we were up a point to the score of 0:10 – 0:09 when the half time whistle blew.
Carrigtwohill scored the first point of the second half which put the teams at level for the first time of the match. A goal from Sean Keane put us in the lead, followed by a point from Eoin bringing his tally to 6 for the day and a point from Paddy Moakely. We now had a five point advantage. However, Carrigtwohill made sure we did not get comfortable and scored points in quick succession. Sean, Liam and Paddy popped over more scores for Kilworth to keep the tight lead. The last few minutes of the game saw Carrigtwohill claw their way back onto the scoreboard. At fulltime all was square. Well done to the team, management and all involved, we look forward to what the rest of the season holds. Kilworth Abú!

We ask for as many people as possible to join the club this year as it is a valuable source of income and it goes a long way in helping with the day to day running of the club. Join us and support us on and off the pitch by becoming a member today! All members, young and old are welcome. As always, we thank our wonderful members for supporting the club year on year. Without you, we would not be here. This is your club and your support is vital to the club’s success going forward.
Juvenile Membership
The juvenile season will also commence very shortly. A planned visit will be taken to the local school during the week where flyers and contact details will be issued to the children. Whilst this visit is aimed at the junior infant classes, we hope to meet all children in the school. For those who have never played hurling, football or camogie, it’s never too late to start and remember the great Sean Og O Hailpin only started playing after arriving in Ireland aged 11. Where possible, juvenile members should also be registered online at www.kilworthgaa.com
A registration night for juvenile members will be held on Friday 28th of February in the club meeting room from 7pm. Please note that parents / guardians must complete the consent paperwork at this registration night even if they have already registered their children online.
