Under 8s County Blitz in Pairc Chiarain

It was another Sunny Blitz for the busy Under 8's, on home soil on September 13th with a great number of hurlers visiting us. There were 8 teams represented from the Clubs of Fr. Daltons, Raharney, Clonkill, Cullion and ourselves.

Playing on the top pitch, we had 4 pitches in use with each hurler getting nearly 60 minutes action, in the summer sunshine. The Gaels got to play against all clubs and were unbeaten on the day, playing a mix of Ground and High Hurling, show casing the high standards they have reached over the year. It was a joy to witness some of the action especially the passing movements and tough tackling that comes as second nature to these players now. The Teams in action to sign off on Under 8 Westmeath Organised Hurling Blitzes for 2014 were: Team Maroon: Harry Healy, Cillian McGowan, Shane Wheatley, Seán O' Neill, Kyle Mahon, Ruairí O Duibhir, Cormac Murphy, Eoin McCormack, Nathan Corcoran, Diarmuid Morgan and then Team Yellow: Liam O'Flaherty, Cathal Hardiman, Leon Macken, Oisín O'Donoghue, Seán O'Donoghue, Cillian Geary, Seán Cosgrove, Ruairí Dolan, Cormac Bradley, Stephen O'Connor, Ciaran Moran. There was some fabulous photography of the games by Eoin Healy which are now posted on Southern Gaels Facebook - Thanks Eoin.

Underage Training from 14 to 5 year olds, continues in Pairc Chiarain, Tuesdays 6.30 to 7.30 and Fridays 6.00 to 7.00. New Players always welcome.
