JUVENILE HURLING All Star Saturday at Dr Crokes. The visit to Dr Crokes juvenile hurling of the Kilkenny Allstars hurlers was an outstanding success. We were blessed with dry mild weather and a large fantastic and enthusiastic crowd of players and spectators attended. Unfortunately PJ Ryan was unavailable to attend, however the experience gained from Martin Comerford and Eoin Larkin was immense for players and coaches. The two hour training session with them was interesting, enjoyable and will be of benefit to our juvenile hurlers as we look forward to 2010.There were upwards of sixty juveniles in attendance and the two All Stars were very busy with drills, exercises and tips on some of the skills of hurling. Working closely with such good hurlers is a great experience for all hurlers and of course they brought along the Leinster C/Ship trophy and the NHL trophy. There was time for photos and autographs and a great day was had by all. Dr Crokes wish to express our sincers thanks to Martin Comerford and Eoin Larking for their courtesy, time and effort and our gratitude also to Toddy Doyle - Muckross Traditional Farms, The Aghadoe Heights Hotel and the Royal Hotel for their invaluable help in the smooth running of this All Star Saturday.

The team played well as a unit and while there were great individual performances it was a really emphatic performance by the team as a group. Some good opportunities were created and snapped up by the forwards - 3 goals by Michaele Bruton being just one highlight.
