Many thanks to all the local volunteers for giving up their valuable time and especially to club Secretary Michelle O’Keeffe for all her hard work and effort in organising this worthy event.

KILWORTH JUVENILE GAA CLUB NOTES

U11s SHOW PROMISE IN WATERGRASSHILL & GLENVILLE

Over the last two weekends, our U11s made the short trip to East Cork to play against Watergrasshill and Glenville in hurling and football, respectively. Both games were played under summer conditions, with the effort from both sides matching the glorious weather.

In hurling, we played three games last Saturday week, all of which were highly competitive. The excellent work rate was evident through the level of hooking and blocking from both teams. The boys have been working very hard in training lately, and it's really beginning to show in their matchday performances.

Last Friday evening, we switched to football, again playing three matches against the home side. The boys played well and showed improvement across the three games, with some teak-tough defending and excellent scores taken. They worked the ball effectively from defense to attack and put in a great shift against a strong Glenville side. Thanks to Tony and the Watergrasshill/Glenville mentors for facilitating both games.

Next Saturday, the boys have been invited to Douglas for what promises to be a great day of hurling. Thirty-two teams will take part on the day with representation from Cork, Limerick, and Waterford. We will enter two teams; despite being short of a few players due to first holy communion and other events, the boys are eagerly looking forward to this outing.
