U12s Reach North Antrim Indoor League Final

Congratulations to our U12 hurlers who qualified for the GAAkit.com North Antrim Indoor League final.

The qualifying stages of this competition were played last Saturday at six venues across Antrim and Derry. At each venue teams competed in a round robin for the prize of a place in the final for the two top placed teams.

All Saints played in section three at St Patrick’s College. They played four matches winning three and drawing one to finish in pole position in their group, Bredagh finished in second spot; the two teams will meet next Saturday in the section 3 final at Seven Towers Leisure Centre.

This promises to be an intriguing contest between two evenly matched teams. When they met on Saturday the contest was a close affair and with both defences in uncharitable mood scores were at a premium. The game was decided by a single goal in All Saints favour.

Some veterans of this squad played in last year’s final when they lost out to Rossa in a nail biting encounter which needed extra time to decide the winner. Last year’s experience should stand them in good stead and we wish the lads good luck as they try to go one better this time.

We encourage everyone to come along on Saturday to support the team and hopefully see them collect the first silverware of the year for All Saints.

Ryan McGarry, Eoin McGuigan, Cormac Magill, Luke Mulholland, Ruairi McAllister, James O’Boyle, Calum McGarry, Eamon McDonnell, Conor O’Rawe, Eoin McNally.

Appreciation

We would like to thank:

• Owen Elliott for organising and refereeing the matches and his son Eamon who kept him right on technical issues and updated the score board.
• Brian Kearney of GAA Kit.Com for sponsoring the competition.
• The principal and staff at St Patrick’s College for use of the hall.

 

 

Co Down Indoor League

Following their exploits in the North Antrim League the U12s travelled to Bangor’s Eddie Irvine Centre on Sunday to play in the Co Down Indoor League.

While the North Antrim competition is designed to promote ground hurling the Down league allows catching and striking from the hand. Again the lads did extremely well, winning all their games. They return to Bangor next Sunday for another round of matches.

We would like to thank Michael McCullough (Down Hurling Development Officer) for inviting us to participate in this competition and to the other teams we played against for a very enjoyable day’s hurling.
