Our U8 Hurlers took to the field for the County Board Blitz on Friday night last and turned in some positive performances in the games. We had 3 teams taking part who competed very well in all their games, and the quality of hurling and results are very encouraging for an enjoyable summer of hurling ahead for all mentors, parents and all those who support the team. The players have made solid improvements in the hurling training for the last month and this showed on the field of play and more importantly in the faces of the players on Friday night. The teams played 3 games each against teams from Na Piarsaigh, Patrickswell, Monaleen, Adare, Ballybrown & Kildimo/Pallaskenry. Sincere thanks to the parents for bringing all the children to the games and to training each week and the players will have a bright future ahead for Ahane. Training continues Monday evening at 6:30pm in Mackey Park. New players are always welcome. U8 Mentors.
