After a great campaign in the Roinn A u-16 league, the GBC boys shared the top position on the table with their counterparts from the south, Ballyhale-Shamrocks. Consequently a play-off situation existed and it was all roads to Dunnamaggin on Friday last to determine who would take the honours of heading the group and earning a place in the Roinn A League final for 2015.

Our U13’s took to Lisdowney on Saturday the 25th of July in perfect hurling conditions for the annual Lisdowney 7’s Tournament. Our first round game saw us meet a strong Dicksboro side. A keenly fought first half meant scores were at a premium, with the ‘Boro opening the scoring before Oisín Egan and Paddy Brennan put GBC one point up. Paddy was unlucky to have a goal disallowed before the half time whistle. Discksboro got the final score of the half to leave it 2 points a-piece at half time. Read more
Graigue Ballycallan played Thomastown in the Minor Hurling League last Monday in Thomastown. Thomastown were fastest out of the blocks and had two goals on the board within the first fifteen minutes. Sean Ryan scored five points in the half while Ciaran Hogan, Dylan Lanigan and Colum Prendiville added a point each. Just before the break, Dylan Lanigan netted for GBC, following good work by Sean Ryan. It was all to play for at half time as the score read GBC 1-8, Thomastown 2-6.
Best of luck to all our juveniles who are in action at the weekend with Kilkenny Development Squads in various grades.
U17 – Colum Prendiville & Bill Cuddihy
U16 – Jesse Roberts, Tommy Ronan, Conor Flynn, Sean Ryan & Ciaran Hogan
U15 – Killian Egan, Aaron Brennan & Adam O’Brien
U14 – Stephen Keoghan & Eamonn Corcoran
