‘Naomh Eoin U14 hurlers head off on Thursday 5th July to play in this year's All Ireland Féile na nGael in Dublin.
The weekend will see Naomh Eoin hosted by Cuala CLG, situated in the Dún Laoghaire area of south Dublin. First game will be against the hosts at 2pm on Thursday in Cuala. Thursday evening will see the teams parade through Dublin city, from Croke Park to O'Connell street, something which should be a memorable experience for all concerned. Next up on the itinerary is group game number two on Friday morning at 10am vs. Lucan Sarsfields. This will be played at the ‘12th Lock’ pitches in the Lucan area.
The third and final group stage game is against Offaly at 1.30 pm, also at the ‘12th lock’ pitches. Semi-finals will be played at 7.00pm on Friday night, with Saturday being 'finals day' in Croke Park. Hopefully the boys from Naomh Eoin and Antrim will be there until the end! Cuala CLG is also hosting a barbecue and some entertainment for the Friday night, with their most famous member, RTE's Des Cahill, acting as compère.
All support will be very much appreciated and will hopefully be well rewarded by the performances of the lads over the weekend. Here's looking forward to a very memorable weekend for the players, mentors, families and supporters, as we look to bring the Canon Fogarty back home to Corrigan! The weekend will be a memorable one for all regardless, so come along and sing and shout for the boys in blue and white if you can make it!
Naomh Eoin would like to take the opportunity to thank all those involved in fundraising efforts - we are especially grateful for the generosity of all our sponsors, families and friends who helped in any way big or small – go raibh mile maith agaibh!’
