FÉ 9 BLITZ

On Saturday 7th June we had the pleasure of hosting a Monster U-9 Hurling blitz in Youghal. We had 12 teams in total, broken them into 3 groups of 4. Youghal had 2 teams entered together with teams from Midleton, Fermoy, Carrigtwohill, Kiltha Óg, St. Colmans and Cobh. The Youghal boys were really challenged in these games. Conditioned games of ground hurling and some pick and striking applied. Skill levels were high and the tackling was getting more determined as the competition continued. Some future stars were on display from all the clubs and it was very evident as to what players are doing that big extra training, outside of official training times.

​ The Youghal team was made up of players picked from the panel of Aaron O'Donnell Murphy, Adam Coyne Aherne, Bobby Nicholson, Charlie O'Brien, Christopher Buckley, Ciaran Reilly, Conor Galvin, Coady Hickey, Daniel Reilly, David O'Connor, Declan Sugrue, Donnacha Ruxton, Dylan Byrne, James Murray, Jason Innes, Niall Baylor, Oisin Casey, Orin Brooks, PJ McCarthy, Ryan Twohig, Sean Cronin, Sean Hennessy (great to see Sean back) and Sean Murphy
