All Hurling is good hurling, especially when you’re underage. When an option of Volley Hurling is thrown out, one wonders is it worth nearly an hour’s drive each way for some indoor hurling when we normally don’t do any indoor hurling for this age group. But when you take the bull by the horns and engage in the game, you can either love it or hate it. However, it was the Love of the Game that shone through for all our maturing hurlers. It can be a big turning point for any hurler as they reach the large expanse of full field hurling at U14, but definitely these novel games makes that step so much easier with allot of craic on the way. Our lads were slow to start this volley process but definitely matured into it and learned how to read a game and see what tactics needed to be applied and then tried to implement them. There were 3 Volley Hurling days, with 6 games over the first 2 days followed by a much longer last day match up. So, it’s with pride that all our hurlers can look back at this tournament and be very very happy on how they engaged in the process and led on to learn allot on what it takes to architect the perfect volley hurling goal, of which there were many. We had 11 hurlers who got the privilege of Hurling for Volley Goals up against Delvin, Clonkill & Castletown Geoghegan, in Clonkill’s indoor hurling hall. The Hurlers who earned the Westmeath Shield Volley Hurling Trophy are Páidí Ó Leochain, Michael Dolan, Paul Hogan, Ryan Fallon, Calum Devaney, Luke O'Connell, Cian Geary, Cillian Geary, Cormac Bradley, Thomas Collins & Dano McMonagle. You did Southern Gaels proud, and set us off to a great start with a trophy in the bag before the end of February. What a start to SG18, blazing a trail for the rest of the teams. Gaels Abú.
Club Night: Friday 20th October, 2017The great and the good of Southern Gaels will gather in Áras Chiaráin on Friday 20th October to celebrate what has been a busy but successful year for this busy and successful hurling club. The current plan for the night is for the club’s Intermediate team to take on a selection of SG legends and current “Rise Up and Hurl” Tuesday night hurlers to compete for the John Maher Cup at 8pm. After this, players will join parents and club personnel in the clubhouse for the presentation of the Bill Stacy Hall of Fame award at 10pm where a past member will be honoured for their work with the club. After this there will be various other awards for player of the year and club person of the year. Following on from this finger food will be served along with appropriate beverages for a night of hurling recollections and dreams for the future. Be sure to book the babysitter for what promises to be a great night. It is hoped, in particular, that parents of the juvenile squads will join us for a well—earned drink or two after a summer spent travelling the highways and byways of Westmeath and environs in the promotion of the great game of hurling!-------------------------------Southern

Club Secures Place in Féile Competition 2017
Our U14 squad and management continue with their
preparations for Féile which takes place on 16-17 June. This is the first time
since 2003 that the club will be represented at this national competition, when
they will be hosted by the Clara club in Kilkenny. Their first two games are in
Borris, Carlow where they will play Mount Leinster Rangers (Carlow) and Tooren
(Mayo) on Friday 16 June. On Saturday 17 June they will play the host club in Clara
before travelling to New Ross in Wexford for their next game, with opponents to
be confirmed yet.
To offset against the significant cost of Feile,
the management are looking for sponsors for a Féile souvenir programme that is
being published to mark the club's appearance in Féile. The programme will be a
fine publication carrying profiles of all players, photographs, articles and
club/Féile information. If any individual or business would like to take an
advert in the programme please contact Martin (087-2253350), Tommy
(087-6523333) or Cormac (087-2353089).
