Under 9 hurlers in Kilmacud Crokes Hurling tournament

17 October, 2010

The Under 9 hurlers played in a Kilmacud Crokes Hurling tournament last Sunday. We played 3 great games, reaching the final of our section. In the first game against Na Fianna, Mobhi Rd, Bray got off to a flying start with Rory Lambe scoring 1-5 in the first half. Conor Dowling scored a fine goal too and covered great ground all day. Jamie Baguley, our most improved hurler, played best against Kilmacud in the second game. The toughest and final game pitched us against Faughs. In the final, Gavin Henderson gave a 110% to the Emmet Bhré efforts. The stand-out player over the 3 games was David Maloney who gave a masterclass in defence, bravery and tenacity.

Leighton Glynn, Wicklow and Ireland star, had spoken to the boys the day before in Bray Emmets. We felt his ever-encouraging words and personal immpecable playing standards gave the team a genuine lift. Tá súil againn go n-éiríonn go hiontach leis arís in aghaidh na hAstrálaigh.
