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
Graigue Ballycallan Intermediates squared up to Tullogher Rosbercon on Saturday night last in what was a potentially season-defining contest. The first half was very evenly contested, with Eddie Brennan and James Ryall chaperoning Walter Walsh and efficiently limiting his effect on the game. Eddie was clinical in his score taking, while Niall Millea contributed three points in the first twenty minutes.
Our U8 Hurler of the Week for this week is Robbie Tector! Congrats Robbie and keep up the good work!
Match report by Olivia Hogan.
Last Saturday 4th July saw the under 10 girls travel to Ballyhale for their 2nd blitz of the season. The sun was shining and so was every one of the 12 players. Micky Dermody was going to be busy when Nada Power and Ella Delahunty set the tone, that we were a fast and tough bunch. Butsy(Sarah), Has(Hannah) and Titch(Kirsten) were 3 little flyers as they pulled hard for every ball, Ballyhale didn’t stand a chance. Read more
