Cill Mocheallóg’s Summer Camp 2012
Cill Mocheallóg’s annual Hurling summer camp took place last week for up on 70 participants during sometimes difficult but manageable weather conditions. Our summer camp has been going since 1992 and at €20 for the week has to be the best value in Ireland! A great week of skills, matches and fun was had by all under the watchful eye of our very competent head coach Kevin Roche and his team of coaches, Donal, Dave, Noel, Paul and Alan. Friday was an action packed day with the skills finals being held in the morning. After this we had the fun/water race where the boys enjoyed getting wet and drowning the coaches! The beautiful skills trophies, kindly sponsored in memory of Tommy Hanley, were presented to the winners as follows.
