The Mallow U9 squad had a surprise at training recently, with three-time All Ireland hurling medal winner Seán Óg Ó hAilpín taking control of affairs. Organised for the last night of training this season, Seán Og put the squad through their paces and was impressed with their skills and effort on the night. The coaches of the Mallow U-9 football and hurling teams would like to thank all the players for their efforts in training and in matches over the past season. Also a huge thank you goes out to the parents for their support. We will see everybody next year for the U-10’s and maybe Seán Og will return to see our progress. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all our players and their families, from Seamus O’Keeffe, Liam Tobin, Tony Leneghan and Fergal Heavin.
