Congratulations to Daniel Wilson who’s off to the Ulster elite hurling camp this week, this is a fantastic achievement for him and is just reward for his hard work and dedication all through his young hurling career.
Under 12 HurlingGreat news reached the club this week with 8 of or u12 hurlers being selected to represent Donegal in Croke park on Monday the 18th of July, the boys all impressed at recent Donegal trials and will form the largest group in the team. This achievement hasn’t come about by chance and is in recognition of their hard work in training week in
week out. The deserving boys are Jason Campbell, Dylan Duffy, Paul Tourish, Fiachra Mac Lochlainn, Oisin Hegarty, Ben Doherty, PJ McCarron and Oisin Grant. Best of luck to all and hopefully they all enjoy their day out at headquarters.
Proof of this squads ability was in evidence in O’Donnell Park on Thursday last when the boys opened
their account in impressive fashion in the Donegal league with a convincing win against St Eunan’s. Established U12’s such as Dylan, PJ, Oisin, and Ben all preformed but it was younger members of this squad like Niall Doherty and John Vaughan who caught the eye most.
Next up is an away trip to Killygordon to play Setanta on Thursday night, with the bus leaving at 5.30 sharp. This squad also travelled to Owenbeg, Dungiven to take part in the next round of Derry Go Games blitz’s, playing against some of the best side’s in Derry, they recorded wins against Swatragh, Dungannon(Tyrone) and Kevin Lynch’s
Dungiven, the only narrow loss was to a strong Ballinascreen side. Dylan Duffy(capt) as usual led by example and was well supported by Ben Doherty and PJ McCarron.
