All Systems Go…
Despite the inclement weather it’s all systems go as various club teamsget back into training for the coming season. It’s at this time of tyear thatthe real value of our All Weather facility for training can be reallyappreciated as it allows players to practise in some degree of comfort. Afterso much rain in recent weeks it is very difficult to get matches played as mostfields are still unplayable.

Kildorrery ‘s Campaign Ends
Kildorrery bowed out of the All Ireland JHC at Leahy Park in Cashel onSunday week last when they were beaten by Thomastown of Kilkenny.

They canlook forward with confidence to playing hurling at Intermediate level in 2013.It’s great to see the interest being shown in the epic Junior Football AllIreland semi final between Kenmare Shamrocks of Kerry and Dublin’s Castleknock.Twice on successive weekends these sides have met in Mitchelstown Despite twoperiods of extra time no winner has emerged. This weekend both teams get toplay in Croke Park when the third game goes ahead at Headquarters on Saturdayevening..
