U8 and U10 indoor hurling has finished. We will be training on Saturdays and Wednesdays from now on in Cregg. Wednesdays will be at 6.30pm while we will be training at 10.30am on Saturday morning. Once a month we will be training on a Sunday with the first Sunday session on Sunday week April 22nd. This Saturday however we are asking all Under 8 and U10 players to turn up from 12.30pm to 1.30pm to coincide with the Killeagh visit.

Cork side Killeagh GAA Clubs under 12 and U14 Hurlers will visit Annaghdown tomorrow (Saturday April 14 th) to play our local teams from that age group. The y will be staying with us for the night before returning to Cork on the Sunday morning. We are looking for parents of Annaghdown children to put up the Cork kids and parents for the night. This is a bi-annual event as we travel to Cork and do the same on alternative years. Only children of 10 and over travel on the away trips and the next one will take place sometime in 2008. We are looking for parents to feed the Cork Children on the Saturday evening, look after them on Saturday night and give them breakfast on Sunday morning. The children will be leaving after 9.00am mass in Corrandulla on Sunday morning.

If you can accommodate some children or adults please contact the below as soon as possible. We insist that the children stay in 2's or 3's. At the moment we are looking for 20 families to take 2's and 3 families to take 3's and for accommodation for 12 adults. As in past years when there are too many takers we would arrange that one Annaghdown family would accommodate the two children and a neighbouring Annaghdown child could visit the house to play.

The sun shone for the Easter Hurling Camp attended by the Milwawkee Hurling Club and a number of press photographers from the Connacht Tribune, Irish Examiner as well as TG4. The TG4 piece will be available on http://www.tg4.ie/Bearla/nuac/nuac.htm just select Thursdays Nuacht(12 April 07) and forward the clip to around 23mins. A big thanks to Joe Canning who demonstrated hurling skills and gave some very good tips to our future players. He also presented the medals to the 2006 U12, U14 and U16 winning teams. There were also speeches, presentations and refreshments. We had a number of our own photographers plus loads of our Milwaukee friends had cameras so we will surely see more pictures on both websites over the next few weeks.

Junior A football League on Friday against St Gabriels in Kilconnell at 7.00pm.

There will be a Junior Hurling league game on Tuesday next against Sylane in Sylane at 7.00pm.

U14 Ladies beat Caherlistrane on Wednesday evening.

Minor Footballers lost to Tuam by 2 points in the League also on Wednesday evening.

After the Easter Hurling Camp on Wednesday, our U14 ladies played Caherlistrane in the League at Cregg. I couldn't stay until the end but it seemed to be a well balanced match with good scores on both sides. The Annaghdown forwards did seem to have an edge.

Took a team photo and a few pictures of the Annaghdown forwards in action.

Will look to get pictures up on the site during the week.

A number of people said that they couldn't view the Cross Country Horse Run Pictures so my guess is that they need to load Flash on their computer.

You can do that by clicking the link below.

Trying out a new form of Photo Display. It requires FLASH installed on your PC but most should have that. It also requires a good speed of connection. Feedback is very welcome to the following email address as to whether it works or not.
