School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
Academy continues tomorrow evening in Carrigeen Astro turf with an earlier start due to the schools fundraiser. The younger group start at 5.30 and the older group starts at 6.30. Again, we are asking for helpers to maximise the attention that all the kids require.
Drop down at 5.30 if interested. We also wish the organising committee of the schools fundraiser the very best of luck tomorrow night. Please share this post.
Ploughing and removal of larger stones completed thanks to Declan Walsh and grandson Jack.
With the season kicking off the last week for our senior side, our schoolboy teams have been busy the last number of weeks preparing for kick off for the new season.
Our u11 squad are back with a number of weeks under the watch of Kevin Kennedy, John Hearne and Pat Walsh. They will play a number of friendlies over the next couple of weeks before they start in mid September.
The u12 and u13 squads under Derek Tebay and Mick Conway respectively are preparing nicely with 2 strong squads assembled. U12s under Derek will play Ballyduff next Wednesday in preparation for next Saturday when they kick off their league campaign away to Kilmacow.
The u13s will kick off Monday evening against Piltown in Ashgrove but travel for a friendly tomorrow to play Peaumount in Dublin with a 1pm kick off. Manager Mick Conway has been busy securing new signings during the summer and is very hopeful that his squad will do well.
Our u14 squad coached by Richard Long and Karl Conway have worked very well in pre season with a number of good performances. Confidence is high as they get ready to kick off next Saturday away to St Paul’s. A big season coming for our underage set up and with our academy returning mid September, we are in for a busy year.
Notice for Youths, registration forms to be returned Tuesday evening between 7 & 8 to Ashgrove. Anyone who doesn’t have a form, drop down with a parent/guardian as their signature will be required on a registration form. All U16s from last season are welcome along with any new players Tuesday evening. Training next Saturday evening at 7pm. First game against The Villa next Sunday at 2pm in Ashgrove.

Were nearly ready for the plough in Suir Crescent, wont be long now.
The work has started on the new development in Suir Crescent with the spraying off of the ground being carried out by John Crowley of Suirside Farm in preparation for drainage works. We’d like to thank John for his very kind gesture in carrying out this work as sponsorship towards the development. Massive thanks again.
