As another year of games comes to a close, the club would like to acknowledge the immense contribution made by all our coaching teams from U6 to Adult level and the amazing True Blue Programme.

Life today is extremely busy for everyone, rushing from work to home and then onto whatever training or practice that is on in the evening. Somewhere in between, we have top quality people giving their time to players of all ages in St. Mary's with the specific aim of helping players play the game of hurling in a safe, fun filled community environment.

These individuals don't just turn up for the hour and go home, they plot and plan each session on the phone during the week trying to find ways of improving their players, making the time spent in the field fun for everyone. They arrive early to prepare and they tidy and lock up the gates when everyone else is gone and then spend the evening asking themselves how can they do better the following day.

For this and much more too. Thank you everyone.
