Denis Nagle U10 Hurling Tournament

November 8, 2018

The inaugural Denis Nagle Memorial U10 Hurling Tournament will be held on August 21st in Rathbeg, Rathmore.

 

Denis was a long time supporter of hurling in Rathmore and Gneeveguilla and he was deeply involved in its promotion through skills training in our national schools and as mentor to our underage teams. There is no doubt, but for his untimely death last year, he would have loved to be involved in our efforts to revive hurling in Rathmore. 

 

The club are thrilled to start this tournament in Denis’ honour and we were delighted when the Nagle family Mary, Tadghie and Denis presented the club with a beautiful trophy for the tournament.

 

The tournament will consist of six U10 teams, three from Kerry and three from Cork. It will run in a one day blitz series starting at 12:00 with the teams divided into 2 groups and play in a round robin series.  Each team will be 12 a side and each game will last 10 minutes per half. The top team in each group will enter the final with the winner being crowned to first ever winner of Denis Nagle Memorial Tournament.
