Athea GAA

Hurling:

Well a great crowd turned out on Sunday morning last for the grand launch of the newly-formed ‘Athea Hurling Club’ at Páirc na nGael. It was brilliant to see so many young children along with their parents in attendance. Special guests Mike Cunningham – County Coaching Officer, David O’Dea – G.D.A.  and Noel Hartigan – Coaching Games Officer, were present and were all delighted with the prospects of the new hurling club. The Liam McCarthy Cup was being chased around everywhere with all the children vying for a photo with the cup. Billy Collins of Knocknagorna also attended and this was great to see – as Billy was instrumental in setting up the Limerick Hurling Club in Chicago many years ago, so Billy was delighted to see Athea taking the same steps. Also on the day further players registered to join the club. Refreshments were provided to all, which were most welcome for kids and parents alike – in all a great day – here’s to Hurling in Athea! and to success for Limerick next weekend.

Intermediates:

Athea Intermediates travelled to Mountcollins on Sunday evening last to take on the home side. It was an exciting game to say the least, with Athea taking the lead initially. However the opposition netted a goal before half time and they also put over a few more points in the second half which, into injury time, left Athea just 1 pt up and this was the final score thankfully 12pts to 1-08. Well done.
