KILWORTH JUVENILE GAA CLUB NOTES

U12 HURLING 

A showery Thursday evening saw Erins Own visit Araglen to take on Kilworth Araglen Óg in an U12 hurling challenge match. This comes off the back of an extremely tough round of grading games for the lads. The first half got off to a flying start with several points from play scored. The skills practiced at training were on show and we were winning plenty of 50/50 ball. The second half was excellent, and some fantastic individual displays were also produced by the lads. Plenty of teamwork and good passing led to a win for Kilworth Araglen Óg on the night. Well done lads. A huge thanks to Erins Own led by John Fenton (Ballinvoher) for travelling down. They are a fantastic side. Onwards now for the boys into the second phase of this year’s league having been graded and matched with similar teams. We are looking forward to some great matches.
