KILFLYNN N.S ARE MINI 7S CHAMPIONS

On Monday 24th April, The County INTO GAA Mini 7s Hurling competition was  played in beatiful sunshine at the Tom Healy Memorial Park, Abbeydorney.
The largest number of teams in the history of the competition participated this year and
St. Teresa’s National School, Kilflynn rose to the top!! This group of players produced some fantastic hurling on Monday against three tough challenges. First up we met Buff’s homeland Kilgarvan, a spirited bunch but we proved that goals win matches.
Next, we were met with the physicality of a strong Sliabh a mhadra side from Ballyduff but again the boys dug deep and powered through to the final.
In the final we met a skillful Glenderry, Ballyheigue side. We were down by two points at half time and with seven minutes left the boys put everything on the line. We had shots on goals that would rattle any net and points sailing over the bar with precision. We clawed our way back to win by five points. Congratulations and well done to the Kilflynn players Paddy Cronin, Matt Cronin, Daniel Diggins, Daithi Nolan, Jack Kelliher, Bobby Ryan, Eoin Beirne, Tiernan Mullins, Dean McElligott and Simon Russell and to their mentors Jerome O’Sullivan (Trainer) and Sinead Hogan (Manager). Monday would not have been possible without the help of Jerome O’Sullivan. Jerome lives and breathes hurling and his positive attitude keeps the boys going at moments when heads might drop.
