Enjoy the break girls.

Scoil Hoppers GAA Academy

The Scoil Hoppers GAA Academy finished for the summer last Saturday in glorious sunshine.

A huge Thank You to all of our coaches, our teenage members for their help with the Academy, parents and of our young players for coming along each week.

Thank You to Ciaran and Thomas for their hard work each week to make Saturday mornings happen for everyone.

A special Thank You to Christine for welcoming everybody each week, to Deirdre for her warm up games with the children and Moya & Margaret for their help out each week with list and assisting with organising the players.

To start the summer and finish off the first half of the season, all of the children (and some adults) enjoyed a well earned ice cream in the heat.

Scoil Hoppers GAA Academy will return on Saturday, 9th September at 10am. New members welcome.

I hope everybody enjoys the break.

Mossy O’Connell Memorial Games

On Thursday, 29th June, the Mossy O’Connell Memorial Games concluded. The games consisted of 4 evenings of hurling and football for boys and girls born in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

On Thursday, 29th, also saw players from 2016 and 2017 take part in mini games.

All players were presented with a medal on the final evening and we had members of the O’Connell Family in the club on the eventing to present the medals to the players.

A huge Thank You to the O’Connell Family for allowing us to host the games in memory of Mossy, who did so much for the club and is fondly remembered by all of us.

Thank you to our GPO, Thomas Gleeson for arranging the games and coordinating each evening.

Some of our Senior Hurlers were also down to support the players – thank you to all of the hurlers for taking the time to come down and support our young players, to show them that they can continue to play for many more years but most importantly for supporting the Memorial Games.

New Flags

When all of our pitches are in use, we were short on flags and have had to borrow them from our neighbouring clubs.

This problem has now been solved.. Thanks to Paul Keane and more importantly, to Orla Benham.

Paul tasked Orla with the job of sewing flags from old/torn jerseys and kits and what a fantastic job she did – as seen above!

Not only is Orla a very competent camogie player and coach with our Academy, she is also a great at sewing.

Thanks and very well done Orla.

Thank you to Paul, John and Niamh – the Ladies B Team coaches and to their Captain, Aoife and all the ladies for the welcome received by our Gaelic4Mothers Team. The sessions were fantastic and so full of fun. Also thanks to John Kelly and Tom Murphy that jumped in on the evenings to help with the coaching – it was very much appreciated.
