Kaesiha is County Skills Champion.

Feile Skills champion

This year's Feile Skills competition occurred on Sunday 27th April at Dungarvan GAA grounds. The overall winner was Kaesiha Tobin who plays for Dungarvan and is also a member of Waterford's U14 All Ireland blitz winning team of 2013 and a current member of the 2014 team. Kaeisha will now go forward as Waterford's Feile skills representative at the All Ireland finals in June.

 

Munster Minor 'A' Shield Final

Last week saw the Waterford Minors win the All Ireland B title but they did not have too much time to celebrate as they were back in action on Saturday 3rd May at The Ragg in Tipperary against Clare in the Munster Shield final. The team were well in the match and were only trailing by one point at the halfway mark (1-05 to 0-07). Early goals in the second half saw Clare extend their lead and were eventual winners by 4-12 to 0-07

U14 Championship

As the second round of the Under 14 championship was completed last week, we now have a chance to see which teams are performing and possible permutations of results yet to come.

Section A, teams of Gaultier, St. Anne’s Dungarvan, De la Salle, Brickey Ranger’s and Clonea/St. Molleran’s compete. After the first two rounds, the teams that have complete both rounds are at the top of the table and it is probably no surprise that Waterford’s Feile representatives (Gaultier) top the table with two wins from two but Dungarvan and St. Anne’s are right behind them with one win apiece. Both Dungarvan and St. Anne’s have faced the strong Gaultier team and is a difficult obstacle for the remaining clubs to overcome.

It is difficult to assess how much De la Salle will influence the final standing as the beaten Feile finalists have yet to play any matches and are scheduled to face Dungarvan next week while Clonea/St. Mollerans face Gaultier and Brickey Rangers face St. Anne’s.

In the ‘B’ section teams of Lismore, Modeligo, Tramore, Portlaw and Roanmore/Ferrybank. As it is shaping up, it looks like Lismore are the strongest as they top the table with four points with two wins from two, against Portlaw and Roanmore/Ferrybank. Modeligo and Tramore have one win apiece and lie on 2 points each. Lismore have a bye next week while Roanmore/Ferrybank play Tramore and Portlaw face Modeligo which should give us a clearer picture of likely finishing places once played.

We have four teams in the ‘C’ section which are An Rinn, Butlerstown, Cappoquin and Abbeyside. After two rounds completed both An Rinn and Butlerstown share top spot with four points each.   Next weeks promises to be crucial for this section when An Rinn and Butlerstown are scheduled to meet at Butlerstown’s pitch.
