Juvenile AGM
The juvenile AGM took place last Saturday night in the clubhouse and a full review of last year’s activities took place and the terrific achievements of the various underage teams were highlighted at the meeting. Titles were won at various age groups and all the success in recent years of our underage teams is no fluke; it is the result of the many hours and hours of hard work, coaching, coaxing and training that has been put into the players over the years. The committee was elected and Eddie “Skinny” Fitzgerald continues as chairman and Linda Cusask and Orla Murphy also stay on as secretary and treasurer.

ST MARY’S JUVENILE
Amalgamation:-
The major development in the club over the Christmas period was Kilmac’s juvenile section joining forces with ourselves for the coming season from U13 to U21 on a one year trial basis. With this in mind it’s expected that we will be going up a division in some grades.
The amalgamation should see all boys playing within their age group and not having a 12 or 13 year old playing U16 for example.
Indoor Hurling:-
Indoor Hurling has resumed after the break, with the first session starting at 5pm, the next group at 5.50pm, with the final group kicking off at 6.50pm. Its open to boys and girls, and all you need is a helmet, runners and €2.
