COISTE NA OG The first in our winter series of Hurling Promotion Nights took place in the clubhouseon Friday November 28th. It was resounding success thanks to all the children, parents, hurlers and former hurlers that attended . A big thanks to our three special guests Ben O'Connor , Ronan Curran and our own Seanie O'Shea The evening started with Ben O'Connor giving a training session to a large number of our U8 and U10 hurlers, both boys and girls and that was very enjoyable for all. Our three inter county stars Ben O'Connor ,Seanie O'Shea and Ronan Curran gave inspiring talks on the game, their experience on training and the skills involved and some excerpts from recent Munster finals were shown on the big screen. The main theme of all the speakers was that we should be constantly playing hurling between each training session. Our three guests gave a great insight into the level of commitment required, the need to be attentive to the coaches and they also spoke of the friendships they have built up in hurling. Encouragement from parents and coaches is vital for juvenile success. The question and answer sessions was interesting and informative for all. Lots of autographs were obtained and there was draw amongst all juvenile hurlers present for signed hurleys, sliothars and a helmet. This event has generated a very positive interest in hurling within the club and we are sure that this will be built upon in the future. We are planning on holding similar events in the future and we would like to thank all those who helped in any way in organising this event.
