Bunclody/Kilmyshall Hurling Team
Roinn A Rackard League Hurling Champions 1998/99
Our football and hurling is based
on the Rackard League. Nicky Rackard was a great hurler for Wexford. He died many years
ago and so we play this Rackard League to remember Nicky. He lived in Bunclody.
Our school has one acre of hurling ground for us to train on. We train with a local school
called Kilmyshall. They usually come down to us to train but we also go to their pitch.
Our coaches are Mr. Martin, Mr. Roberts and Mr. O'Tiarnaigh. Our coaches are very good -
they get us fit and ready for all our matches.
In 1998 we won the hurling and we got lovely medals and a big cup. We got a meal which our
club Halfway-House/Bunclody paid for. In 1999 we were beaten in the Rackard League
Football Final and our girls reached the Final of the Rackard League Camogie Final. Our
local club has good hurlers and camogie players today who played Rackard League hurling
and camogie years ago.
