Not much action on the playing fields this week - the only team out were the Under 12 Bs who played a most enjoyable game against visitors Ballinacor. Victory went to ballinacor on this occasion. The Under 16s have completed their programme of games for 2008 - League, Championship and Shield.Well done to them. They are already looking forward to the 2009 season when all this year's players will be eligible for this grade again.Knockananna have conceded the League fixture to our Under 14s which leaves them with one remaining League fixture against Aughrim next Monday. Their Shield starts at th end of the month.The Under 12A and B teams have also completed their League and Championship schedules and their Shield will start towards the end of the month. Sunday was the All-Ireland Final and we organised our Annual outing to Croke Park. In spite of the rain - where would we be without it? - over 50 members watched Cork regain the title and O'Duffy Cup in an exciting game v. Galway. Thanks to all the Adults who travelled and made the opportunity available to the players. A great day was had by all as we witnessed another piece of history as Kilkenny added the Under 21 Hurling to their collection and become the first winners of all four All-Ireland Hurling titles in the same season. Its back to school for everybody and coaching resumes in St Brigid's GNS this week. During our trip to Croke Park, we were delighted to meet some of the Under 14s from Monaghan and Cavan and their mentors with whom we spent last Week-end in Castleblaney as we continue to finalise their return visit to Kilcoole in the near future.
