Athea GAA

Thanks:

Athea GAA Club would sincerely like to thank everyone who gave so willingly to their church-gate collection over the weekend. Despite the very wet night on Saturday, all those going up to mass stopped their cars as well as those on foot and all put “hands in their pockets” to contribute. The money raised will go to further enhancing the pitch facilities. And it will be great in the very near future to be able to go up when it’s dark and to be able to walk/run on the track with the floodlighting.

Hurling:

I’ve also heard the other day that our recently formed “hurling club” is coming on in leaps and bounds – with the young players improving by the training session and isn’t it great to see so much sporting activity going on – considering the huge amount of obesity in young people nowadays. The message is “ get them off the phones and X-boxes and on to the playing field. 

U-21s:

Our U-21s lined out against a strong Foynes team in Glin on Sunday evening last in “Round 1” of the West U-21 championship. The majority of our boys were around the 17 age mark, so it was a good experience for Noel Barry, trainer, and the team. They put on a great display and only lost by 3pts in the end (2-5) to (2-8).

Billy Collins Cup

Subject to weather conditions Athea will host a hurling match between Cappawhite and Kilmoyley this Saturday October 5th 2019 at 4pm.
The teams were chosen by our  Honorary hurling President Billy Collins  and will play for his Cup.
Billy has many friends in both clubs.
This should be a good hurling spectacle and comes at a time when our own club has given the chance this year for many young players to play the small ball game.
The club is very grateful to Billy for his support.
