SENIOR HURING FINAL – Abbeydorney has been set as the venue for the hurling championship on Sunday the 27^th September. 

PARISH COLLECTION – As Kilmoyley Hurling club have two teams in both the Senior Hurling Championship final and the Intermediate championship final, members of the club will be calling around this week hoping that you will be able to give whatever support financially you can to the club.  The teams have been training now since late January/early February and getting to a final is very expensive.  Trainers and physios as well as all the other expenses amount up very quickly.  The club caters for all ages and have a large amount of players from underage to Senior level.  We have a great facility in our parish which we know is appreciated by everyone who uses it.  We hope that you will be able to help out and we look forward to and are fully confident in our teams doing very well in the finals.  Thanking you in anticipation.
