Storm Lorenzo and his fellow wintery friends are being thwarted by the sterling efforts of our juvenile players and mentors with games still being played at a frantic pace.

Over the last number of years, the clubs policy has been to cater for hurling for ten months of the year. The rationale for this is because of the complexity of the game of hurling.

Our game is one which needs constant honing by participants with the multiple skill elements associated.

In match programmes at inter-county games, player profile interviews attract the eye of our young and not so young members. Inevitably. the player in question espouses the virtue of "first touch", "striking off both side" "high fielding" to the oft asked question of what skill is the most important?

In our view, all of the skills are important and to get to a level of competency, a regular sequence of training and games is a prerequisite. Added, to this, parents are and need to be encouraged to get their child out practicing at home for 10 mins each day.

We ask, that all our members, supporters, parents and mentors continue to work with us in our aim to enable our players achieve their potential.
