U16s
The U16s had a tremendous game last week and against the mighty Tooreen came away with a most creditable draw. But for the narrowest of margins they could have snatched a win but at least all be able to replay again this evening. Given that these teams met at U14 two years ago and Tooreen then came out with a large winning margin, shows the progress that has been made in Castlebar. Keep up the good work lads.
Hurling on the Green
The Easter hurling on the green was an outstanding success. So much so that names are already coming in the Summer season which commences on Mon Jun 28 and will run for nine weeks until Aug 27. This is a tremendous opportunity for young to have the benefit of excellent coaching during the summer months in fact it is better that a summer camp because it is free to members and comes to a green patch near you.
