Minor Hurling Review 2015
Report by John Cuddihy
Graigue Ballycallan Minors stepped up to Roinn A this year with a young but talented group of players. Their first league match was against Piltown in Kilmanagh, at the start of April. A man of the match performance by Eamonn Egan and a good overall team performance led to a good win for the GBC lads, 2-17 to 1-9. Read more
U8 Hurling Review 2015
Report by Phil Maher
Our Training began in February in Wallslough Indoor Arena, moving to twice weekly training at the Pitch in Kilmanagh and ended with a great day in McDonalds in September!
As with all Sport, our panel consisted of boys who each had their own skill set, determination and love of the game, but importantly, each had their own part to play in the panel that ensured that it was the Team Success that mattered at the end of the year. Read more
U16 Hurling Review 2015
Report By Adrian Ronan
Graigue Ballycallan U16s were in Roinn A as a result of winning U16 Roinn B in 2014. Expectations for 2015 were high and the aim for the year was to be competitive.
We operated with a small tight panel as numbers are low towards other years, usually only togged with 19/20 when without the U13s.
With 12 teams in Roinn A League, we were in Group B, avoiding city teams O’Loughlins, Dicksboro, James Stephens and Naas. In our Group we had the best of the country teams Ballyhale, Thomastown, Mooncoin, Danesfort and Dunnamaggin. Read more
U14 Hurling Review 2015
Report by Martin Delahunty
The U14 panel for 2015 started their year with an unbeaten run in the Football league, qualifying for the League Final which is due to be played in early 2016. They continued their tremendous form throughout the championship and earned a place against Glenmore in the County Final. Unfortunately, they fell a bit short on the big day and were beaten by a well drilled Glenmore outfit. Read more

U16 Roinn A Hurling League Final – Saturday 19/9/2015
Report by Adrian Ronan
Within a week of O’Loughlin’s being crowned U16 Roinn A County Champions, GBC had the opportunity of playing them in the League Final. Having been beaten in the first round comfortably by O’Loughlin’s in August, GBC were eagerly looking forward to the League Final. We had worrying injures going into the match but Conor Flynn, Jesse Roberts and Sean Ryan ignored these and made huge contributions.
So all headed to Freshford knowing that a huge performance was demanded and if we got that performance, well, we would ask questions of this excellent O’Loughlin’s team. This O’Loughlin’s team were unbeaten in two years in all competitions so we knew the task was massive.
