Report by Martin Delahunty
Graigue Ballycallan U14s visited John’s Park on Monday last to play city outfit O’Loughlin Gaels in the 4th and final match of their league campaign.
The boys took advantage of a stiff breeze early on to build up a lead of 1-6 to no score after 15 minutes of play, with some great individual scores from Jack Butler and Oisín Egan. This seemed to knock the confidence from the Gaels with the Graigue boys piling on relentless pressure, the scores came easily and they went to the break with a comfortable lead. Read more
Report: By Philomena Brennan:
As we fast approach the State Exam season and match play has been suspended for all those who are sitting the up-coming Junior and Leaving Certificate, it is perhaps an opportune time to report on the club’s U-16 team season to date.
In 2014 this group of boys had a great year which culminated in a Roinn B County Final appearance, losing out to a highly fancied Bennettsbridge team. Read more

Graigue Ballycallan U10’s travelled to O’Loughlin Park on Thursday 12th May to play their third competitive match and in what turned out to be hard fought win against an O’Loughlin’s team who were spoilt for choice in the amount of lads that they could field.
This win was at the back of a heavy defeat the previous week from a well-structured Dunnamaggin side who came up to Kilmanagh on Thursday 5th May. But a point worth noting was that GBC were leading and in cruise control for the first period when both teams had to play ground hurling as they held their shape, kept play moving and allowed the ball to do all the work.

Well done to our u10s who held a very successful blitz on Monday 2nd May in Tom Ryall Park. Their first blitz for the new season. Thank you very much to anyone who helped out in any way on the day.
All participant’s in Scór were invited to audition for the reading of the Proclamation at the Laochra 1916 Commemoration on League Final Sunday in Croke Park on 24/4/2016. This involved sending a video of J.J. reading excerpts from the Proclamation in both Irish and English to Tyrone Productions. One child from each county was chosen to represent their county on the day and J.J. was delighted to be selected from Kilkenny.
All representatives spent the full weekend preparing for this momentous occasion in Croke Park, arriving for rehearsals on both Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th at 9am. They practised their individual lines, voice projection, positioning on the pitch and adjusting their microphones. Read more
