WET AND WINDY STRIKES AGAIN

All of our pitches and most across the city are closed again this weekend.

It's frustrating for the players and the coaches but sure that's what we get for living in a country which enjoys the odd drop of rain.

Hopefully, things will improve over the next week so that we can get back to playing matches.

Good luck to those teams in action at the weekend that are playing away on open or all-weather pitches

BEST OF LUCK COLÁISTE EOIN

Hopefully, things will be a little drier in Carlow where Coláiste Eoin, featuring a number of Cuala players, will go up against St Kierans College Kilkenny in the Leinster Colleges Hurling Final.

Good luck to Cormac, Rian, Odhrán, Conall, Shane Conor agus Micheál

SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS

Amgen are approaching the first year of their support for our Men's Football, Ladies Football and Camogie teams.  They have asked for all of our players to fill out a simple questionnaire so if you are playing in the shirt, please do try and find the 2 minutes it will take to show them you appreciate the backing they are giving to the club.

Details from your adult mentors.

 

ADULT HURLING SECTION QUIZ NIGHT

The questions and some of the answers will be flowing in The Club bar in Dalkey on Thursday 5th March for the Adult Hurling Section Quiz Night.

Shane Stapleton will be on the microphone and there will be plenty of fun as the occasional flash of brilliance from the teams lined up before him.

The action will start sharp at 8 pm and it will cost €50 for a team of four.

SOCIAL HURLING

The Cuala Social Hurlers are back and flying.  All levels are welcome and there will be training on Thursday nights as well as the occasional matches in time.  The lads who only started last year are showing real promise according to some of the more experienced crew.

If you want your sessions to fly in 2020 then you need to check out the wealth of resources that are available to registered coaches on the new Cuala coaching centre on the web.

The Player pathway tells you what level of development the players should be at while there are a host of videos and drills to make you as good a coach as you can be.

COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR GROUPS

Just one last reminder about use of Whats App

It is the way in which many groups of teams.players and coaches communicate and do so effectively.  But we do need to be mindful of the fact that it can be a dangerous environment when it comes to a misplaced or inappropriate comment.

Here is a link to the GAA Social Media Guidelines for those who are interested.  For everyone else, just be careful and think whether you'd be happy for anything you post in a group chat to be seen by anyone from your Mammy to the person you might be talking about.
