Under 8's Travel to Ballinasloe

Following the great Hurling at Darren O'Donnell Tournament, the parents brought lots of Hurlers to take on Ballinalsoe in an away fixture.
We had 20 dedicated players to make up the 2 following teams. Team Yellow: Liam O'Flaherty, Cathal Hardiman, Leon Macken, Daithí O Leochain, Oisín O'Donoghue, Seán O'Donoghue, Donal McDermott, Cillian Geary, Seán Cosgrove, Ruairí Dolan.

Team Maroon: Harry Healy, Stephen O Connor, Cillian McGowan, Shane Wheatley, Seán O' Neill, Stephen O'Connor, Kyle Mahon, Ruairí O Duibhir, Cormac Murphy, Eoin McCormack.

Ballinasloe were keen to take us on in High Hurling due to the long grass and our hurlers rose to the Challenge. Allot hadn't played many games of such hurling but all bravely got stuck in and tackled well. Our tackling was better than our opponents and it showed on the score board. It wasn't easy to play in the long grass but every player gave it their all and showcased their skills. We ran out victorious in both games and we're looking forward to a rematch.
