Minor Hurling Division 4 Shield Final
Stradbally 3-
Our Minor Hurlers finished off their hurling season in style recording a great victory over Roanmore in their County Final played in Dunhill last Wednesday. The first half was a tigh affair but in the second half Stradbally worked really hard in defence with all players getting to grips with their opponents and covering well.
Our midfield worked tirelessly ensuring a plentiful supply of possession to our forward line.
The forwards started to take the scoring opportunities and most importantly worked very hard to win back possession.
A good effort from the team overall and all involved were delighted to get the win.
Darragh Walsh & Shane Weldon missed the match due to injury and we hope to have them both back playing again shortly. Well Done to all the players and coaches on a great result.

U10 Hurling
Our u10 Hurlers travelled to Ballyhale Shamrocks last Saturday to take part in their annual hurling Tournament. They played group games against Tullaroan of Kilkenny and St Mullins from Carlow, after some great hurling and winning both games they qualified for the Kitty Aylward cup Semi Final where we came up just short against Mooncoin. This was a great experience for the boys and a great day out, thanks to all the parents who travelled and for their support and the coaches also.

Stradbally Ladies Football Notes
A dark cloud descended over our small community on Wednesday evening last when we learned of the sudden passing of Ava Battye. She was very highly thought of by her teammates, friends and the many coaches who had the pleasure of knowing her over the years. Ava represented the club at various age grades up to U16, noteably Feile in 2021 alongside sister Emily and the U15 B Final last year to name but a few. Ava wore the Stradbally jersey with pride and likewise we are very proud of what Ava achieved during her playing career, albeit too short a time. Ava will forever be remembered for her gentle, kind and unassuming nature. Our thoughts and prayers are with her heartbroken parents, Sam and Christine and her sister, Emily, the extended Battye and Quinlan families and Ava's many friends. May Ava rest in peace.
