Huge well done to our young u12 White squad who played their first ever u12 match at home in Cleaboy against Abbeyside B during the week. The girls battled hard and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing on a big pitch with a referee and real goals. Keep up the excellent work girls. Thank you to Abbeyside for a great game and best wishes with the rest of the league. 
Thank you, John O’Neill, for once again capturing fabulous memories for the girls, posted on our social media.  
Well done to our u12 Red squad who started their u12A league against St Annes in Dunhill during the week. Great display of Camogie by both teams, keep up the excellent work girls and thank you to all the supporters for travelling.

There are some very happy faces captured by John O'Neill on our social media from a wonderful weekend of Camogie, where our U15A Feile Team won the Final beating Butlerstown 3-9 to 3-1. Thank you very much to Waterford camogie for organising a great Feile competition, to Tramore GAA for hosting our Feile A grouping, to the referees and umpires for their time, to Mount Sion, Tramore and Butlerstown for the fantastic games and excellent standard of Camogie.

Well done to Alex Kusiak who is this week’s U6 Hurler of the week. Alex has been working really hard at improving and it hasn't gone unnoticed. All the group were treated to Easter Eggs after a great effort training! Well done and Happy Easter to all.

Well done to this week’s u7 hurler of the week Ollie Browne. Ollie is only playing with us a few weeks but in that period has shown great skill and determination. If he keeps improving at this pace, he will certainly be one to look out for. Well done Ollie and keep up the hard work.

A fantastic display by our two u9 teams who played in the All-County Blitz this weekend, with great developing skills being to the fore. Well done boys!

Hard Luck to Eddie Mulligan and Waterford Minor Footballers who went down to Tipperary with a slow start in the first half and clinical finishing in the second half letting them down. Best Wishes v Clare this week in the second round Munster Championship.  

The U20 Waterford Hurlers hit the ground running however, going seven points up in the opening twenty minutes of their game.
