Our Under 12’s travelled to Croke Park on Wednesday last to take part in a Bord na Og sponsored tournament , playing teams from Limerick, Clare and Cork the boys won their three games and along with their mentors were thrilled to be unbeaten on the hallowed turf. Thanks to Nicholas Mackey, Jonathan Flanagan and Stephen Wilmott and the parents who gave up their time on the day to help the lads have a great experience and hopefully it’ll be the first of many visits to the Jone’s road venue.
Easter Camp
Austin Gleeson’s Easter Camp was a great success during the week with upwards of a hundred kids attending each day with only one day being spoiled by the weather, well done to everyone who helped out in such a well run event and plans are already afoot for next year !
