Graigue Ballycallan U14s got their league campaign underway on Friday 15th April 2016 when Mooncoin visited Tom Ryall Park . Our boys were very slow to settle on the night and the southern boys marched into an 8 point lead without breaking their stride. It took a few scores from the hurls of Oisín Egan and Paddy Brennan for the boys to finally realise they were in a game. The half time whistle blew with the scores at 2-4 to 6 pts in favour of Mooncoin. Read more

The U14s played two Challenge matches over the last seven days in preparation for their first round Roinn A League game against Mooncoin on April 15th.
On Bank Holiday, Monday they welcomed near-neighbours Callan to Tom Ryall Park and put in a great display with all panel players getting game time to put up a fine score to impress their mentors and get the 2016 campaign up and running.
This led onto a challenge against the mighty James Stephens on Friday evening on the Kells Rd and again the local boys showed their intent with great attitude in difficult weather conditions with 20 eager players anxious to claim their place.
The boys will train hard over the next fortnight and are looking forward to a few busy months ahead with 4 league games and a qualifying Feile weekend with it. Best of luck lads.
Massive congrats and well done to Colum Prendiville and Tommy Ronan who brought another 2 All-Ireland Senior Colleges medals back to the parish today. Colum was playing at centre forward and Tommy was a panelist when St. Kieran’s College overcame Ardscoil Rís, Limerick in Semple Stadium today on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-13. Both players can be very proud of their achievements and we hope they enjoy all the celebrations.
