U17s:
Hurling training this Thursday December 10th from 7-8pm and Sunday the 13th at 11-12noon.
U14/12s:
There was a great session last Sunday morning-beautiful weather, fresh air and exercise in abundance! Well done to everyone who took part. Training again next Sunday morning at the slightly earlier time of 9.45am sharp. Next week’s session will be our last of 2020, and everyone is asked to wear their Green & White gear as it’s All Ireland Hurling Final Day. We will be taking some photos/videos to share with our Limerick Hurling heros as they travel to Croke Park!
U10s:
Our U10 hurlers trained last Friday in difficult conditions. Lead coach Trevor Costello has been focusing on skill development and using the wall ball to sharpen touch. At the end of the session the U10s recorded a message of good luck for the Limerick Senior Hurlers for this weekend. The next and final training session of the year is Friday December 18th on the 4G, time TBC. Trevor will be in touch with details.
U6s:
Our fantastic U6s had their final training last Saturday morning and there was a visit from a very special guest-Santa Claus!The kids were ecstatic and Santa delivered presents of selection boxes for the kids and some hot drinks and sausage rolls for the parents. The U6 training has been a resounding success this year and we are all very thankful to lead coach Patsy Cahill who has done an amazing job and the kids thoroughly enjoyed every Saturday no matter what the weather was like. Thanks to everyone who helped including Edel Cahill, Marcus and Jennifer Cregan, Trevor Costello, Finola and Chris McAteer, and everyone else for making this year’s U6s a fantastic success. It was a perfect way to end the year and we look forward to seeing the kids back next year and hopefully some new kids coming along too. Happy Christmas everyone!
Lotto:
It’s a super exciting time to be involved in the Croom GAA club . Would you like to get involved, or maybe your child would like to take up playing gealic games? We would invite everyone who is interested in getting involved, aspiring players, parents/potential coaches, ex-players etc., to contact us via

– Croom GAA has so much to offer, committed coaches & state of the art facilities, don’t miss out! It doesn’t matter if you have no experience with Gealic Games, that’s no problem, everyone of all ages and abilities are very welcome and we will ensure you get the coaching/guidance you need. We have many new kids who didn’t play Gealic Games before or who have been coming a distance to play with Croom so don’t be shy you will be very welcome. Fresh air and exercise for all kids right now is a must until we get over this pandemic. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Best of luck Limerick!
All in Croom GAA want to wish the Limerick Senior Hurlers and management the very best of luck against Waterford in the All Ireland final on Sunday! Unfortunately as with all the games this year we can’t be there in Croke Park to support the lads but we can support them from home so please deck the house and halls with green and white and have your colours on this Sunday. If you have your house, street, or business decorated, why not send us a photo and we will post it on our social media channels. Please email stephenlucey6@gmail.com.
