Both of our u11 teams played this week
First up on Wednesday evening we played Western Gaels at home. On a great evening for hurling, the lads played some superb hurling with excellent skills on show from both teams.
On Thursday evening the lads were away to St. Pats in Wicklow. A much cooler evening for this game but nonetheless these lad showed great skill and determination in another excellent game of hurling.
Both the teams are really enjoying their hurling and have had a busy week but always give it their all.
Massive thanks, as usual, to the parents for getting the lads to games and to Cian for a fantastic job refereeing the home game on Wednesday.
Thanks also to Western Gaels Hurling Club Wicklow for travelling on Wednesday and to St Patrick’s GAA Club Wicklow Town for hosting on Thursday.
Well done to Rocks man Adam O’Leary playing for Wicklow u20 footballers last night

Arklow Rocks 1-6
Burren Rangers 2-1
Wicklow Intermediate camogie champions Arklow Rock Parnells made an extraordinary debut in the Leinster Junior ‘B’ camogie championship when they played host to Carlow champions Burren Rangers at Pearse’s Park in Arklow on Saturday last, November 11. The Arklow side, who trailed their Carlow opponents for the entire game from the seventh minute onwards, only got their noses in front one minute into added time when Erin Bardon got the crucial touch in a goalmouth scramble to give her side the lead for the first time in the game as the finishing post approached. And they held on for a thrilling victory by 1-6 to 2-1.

Rosemary, Tim, Jennifer and Miley’s extended family would like to express their gratitude to all of the Arklow Rocks community for their kindness during his illness and in the weeks since his passing.
The loss of Miley has been a devastating blow for our family as we know it has been for many of you.
As a family we were overwhelmed by the huge number that turned out to accompany Miley on his final journey to his place of rest.
We know it would be impossible to thank each individual so we would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to you all.
Miley was a proud life long member of the Arklow Rocks. We know that we don’t need to tell you all how much he enjoyed his trips to The Field, the matches and the pub for a sing song and some craic. Miley valued the many many friends that he made as part of the club. As he so often said ‘Up the Rocks’ 💚🤍💚🤍
Join in the fun and give hurling/camogie a go with Arklow Rocks. Great for both boys and girls.
