Two finals this evening!
Our U13 Hurlers are in Ballinakill and our u14 Camogie players are in Avoca.
Let’s get out and support these young teams
Tuesday night, history was made on the Rocks’ pitch. Our first Senior Camogie Championship match ever was played and it did not disappoint.
Numbers were low, but we knew it would be a challenge this year, fielding a Senior and a Junior team. Thank you to Donard Glen for their game spirit and matching our numbers and a special shout out to Orlagh Kelly for stepping up.
From the first whistle the pace was fast with two strong teams. You could not turn your head away for a moment for fear of missing some of the action. At half time Arklow Rocks we 6 points down with the score ARP 1:6 Donard 4:5.
The second half started at the same fast pace as the first. This was kept up for a long as possible, but tiredness set in for some players and Donard capitalised on this, winning at the final whistle.
These players are warriors. This team must now truly believe that they are where they belong, in the Senior Championship. They know what they need to work on, and as previous years have proved, they will put in the effort to get where they want to be, and with excitement, we all get to watch.
Our next match is an away match against Kiltegan on Tuesday 27th August, throw in at 7pm. All support welcome!

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.
