Tuam AC Juveniles
It was a very busy weekend for athletes and coaches alike with many travelling to Killruddery Estate in Co. Wicklow on Saturday and then onto Stranorlar, Co. Donegal on Sunday.
The ‘We are Tuam’ fundraising group travelled to Bray to take part in the ‘Hell and Back’ 10k challenge to raise funds for the proposed Community Sports Facility in Tuam.
On Sunday, many of the coaches and parents who took part in the 10k challenge in Bray, accompanied almost 60 athletes to Finn Valley Athletic Club in Donegal to take part in the inaugural Champions Cup Cross Country event.
Hundreds of young athletes between the ages of 9 and 18 from several clubs took part on the day. Finn Valley AC were the overall winners of the Champions Cup on this occasion but all the athletes from Tuam AC did extremely well with many achieving top 3 finishing positions in their respective races.
Full set of results unavailable at time of print. See www.donegalsporthub.com for provisional results.
Congratulations to all club members who represented their schools by taking part in the Primary Schools Cross Country Championships in Renmore over the past 2 weeks.
The Galway County Cross Country Championships (even ages) will take place in the Palace Fields on Sunday at 1pm. Good luck to all of our athletes who will be taking part.
Details of club training times can be found on the Tuam AC Juveniles Facebook page.
Abbeyknockmoy Hurling
Seniors finished off the year on a high with a good win over Ardrahan by 1-18 to 1-12. Abbey led most of the way through the match and finished the stronger in both halves. It was a frustrating year for the team with 2 draws against Moycullen and TAD before the break.
These were two games that could have been won. The Pearses defeat was a low point but they could easily have beaten Athenry two weeks later even after a terrible start and a disappointing call towards the end for a penalty.
Some good players are beginning to break through the team and the experience they gained for next year will be invaluable. The team had some good league games over the summer also against Cappataggle, Loughrea and TAD. Thanks to team and management for all their efforts over the year.
