What a Day for Craobh Rua Hurling! 

The Under 14s and Under 12s brought the fire to Dublin this weekend as they travelled to take on O’Tooles in a tough challenge match — and came out on top in a thrilling battle!
In sweltering hot conditions, the lads showed serious heart and character. O’Tooles came out strong and the game was a proper war in the first half, but Craobh Rua refused to lie down. The second half belonged to our boys as they turned up the intensity, powered through the heat, and delivered a superb comeback to secure a hard-earned victory:

*Craobh Rua 5-13  O’Tooles 5-08*

A five-point win on the road against strong Dublin opposition — that’s the kind of performance that builds teams! Massive credit to every player who left everything on the pitch in those roasting conditions.
From there, the group rolled on to Newbridge to catch the senior action, where Offaly delivered a brilliant performance to defeat Kildare in the All-Ireland Hurling Championship.
What a day out for the Craobh Rua Players — great hurling, great company, and memories that’ll last.

These young lads are the future, and days like this show exactly why we love this game.

A huge thank you to our coaches Paul & Daithi for organising such a great day for all the lads 💪
