U12 Hurlers Reach Final of Indoor League

Congratulations to our U12 hurlers who finished top of their section to qualify for the final of the North Antrim Indoor League last Saturday. They drew with Dungiven and beat St Enda’s, Glenarm, Cushendun, and Rasharkin along the way. Over their five games, the lads scored twenty seven goals while conceding only six; demonstrating a ruthless attack and a mean defence. We are very proud of this squad, they are all honest players who consistently give their best at training and matches, and we are delighted that their efforts have been rewarded with a place in the final. Their opponents are St Enda’s, Glengormley, who qualified after beating Dungiven in a play off for second place.

The final will be played next Saturday at Seven Towers Leisure Centre. The lads will feel confident about their chances, however, as the credit crunch and turmoil in the stock market has shown; past performance is no guarantee of future results. Management will guard against complacency and the lads will be back training on Wednesday night to prepare for the game. St Enda’s are managed by Seamus Crummey’s nephew, Colm. With this hurling pedigree to guide them, we can expect a stiff challenge as they will be eager to avenge last Saturday’s loss to All Saints.

Results:

All Saints 5  St Enda’s 0

All Saints 5  Rasharkin 0

All Saints 5  Dungiven 5

All Saints 6 Glenarm 0

All Saints 6 Cushendun 1

We encourage everyone to come along to the leisure centre on Saturday to support the lads and hopefully see them lift the first silverware for the club this year.

U10 Indoor League

Round one of the U10 indoor hurling league kicks off on Saturday 30^th January. Our U10s reached the final in the last two years and are current champions. The venue for the first round of games has not been decided but we are hoping to be based at St Patrick’s College.

Parent Coaching Session    

We are organising an informal coaching session for parents in the next week or so. The idea is to teach parents some basic hurling skills so that they will feel confident to practise with their children at home and to help out at training sessions if they wish. Thomas McCann, South West Coaching Officer will take the session. Before finalising a date and venue we would like to assess numbers interested.

If you would like to come along please let Paddy know – phone or text (07708878968) or reply to this post on the club website.
