Back 28/08/2014 @ 11:05 | hurlingnews | U14 & U16 Hurlers in All Ireland action Saturday
On Sat. next Aug. 30th. upwards of 60 young Sligo hurlers will depart early from Sligo to travel
to Newry, Co. Down for the All-Ireland National Hurling Weekend which
is the highlight of the year for U14 and U16 country teams. This year Sligo
is fielding two U16 teams and one U14 team which is a record. The first U16
team will play in the B tournament while the second U16 team will play in
the C section which has been won on a previous occasion by a Sligo team.
The U14 lads will play in the B tournament. There are representatives from every
hurling club in the county on these teams and a huge amount of coaching work has
gone into preparing the lads all summer for this highlight of their season. Under the careful
eye and mentoring of the county hurling officer Benny Kenny ably supported by
Declan Loughnane and coaches from the main hurling clubs the lads have evolved
into serious contenders for ultimate honours. We wish them all a very enjoyable day
and best wishes in attempting to achieve their goals for the day.
