Ahane U12 Hurlers - 17 players travelled last evening for an away league game against Ballybrown. The game was very competitive throughout. In a tight first-half, Ahane aided by the breeze were on top with good possession but unfortunatey conceded a late goal to Ballybrown just before half time. The Ahane players rallied in the second half against the strong wind with a great display of hurling and commitment and were unlucky not to get 2 goals. Overall, Ballybrown were a little stronger and won on the night but great credit to all the U12 players for contesting a very tight competitive match. This was the 2nd night in a row for some of the U12 hurlers to play a full match having played with the U14 hurlers in their victory over Kilpeacon on Wednesday evening (well done to Davi, Will, Donnacha, Darragh and Sean). The squad against Ballybrown was Tony, Kyle, Donnacha, Jamie, James O'M, Cathal, Paddy, David, Sean, Will, Conor, Tadhg, Ben, Darragh, Cian, Adam and John. Well done to all of you for a super effort. The photo highlights the last minute instructions from Martin and Tom to the hurlers who wore the new U12 jerseys for the first hurling match. See you all on Monday evening at 6.30pm for next hurling training session. U12 Mentors.
