Under 10

The curtain came down on a hectic year last Saturday with a well-deserved day out for the thirty-one members of the panel. We travelled to The Sports Factory in Limerick for fun activities and on the way home there was a pit stop at the Barack Obama Plaza. It was a great day to end a great year.

This group of boys have shown huge commitment all year to training and matches, playing in many tournaments and blitzes all over the country. They are enjoying their hurling and making great progress. A huge thank you to all the parents for their support and help during the season. It's fantastic to see so many willing to volunteer their time to help the club. Finally, well done to all the boys. You have proudly represented Kilruane MacDonaghs all year.
