The U12's are off to Castletown Co.Laois this weekend (23/04/2004 to 25/04/2004)
for the second time this year, where they will travel into Kilkenny to play St. Lachtains and into Tipperary to play Thurles Og.

In March this year they had travelled into Offaly along with the U-11's to play Birr, into Kildare to play Naas and into Laois to play Camross. They beat Naas and Camross but fell by 4 points to Birr.

In February of this year they also had a trip to Wexford where they played in the Faythe Harriers U-12 tournament with Wexford clubs, Faythe Harriers, Duffry Rovers and Naomh Eanna beating all before them and winning the tournament. This is an outstanding achievement for our U-12 team, management and mentors. So well done to everyone involved.
