This was once again a very enjoyable and successful event with  100 children taking part this year. The Camp was run over the 3 days comencing on Wed 29th July to Fri 31st Aug. This year's camp catered for all ages from U5 up to U14 level.  The Camp provided boys and girls with a fun filled and action-packed 3 days of activity during which the activities were games based with strong emphasis on skill acquisition and are organised in an age appropriate manner with a view to optimising learning and enhancing friendships. The camps involved the coaching of specific skills of the game and the opportunity for children to put into practice what they have learned through small sided games.         On Day two we had Kilkenny hurling star  Joey Holden visit Castlepollard Hurling Club. Underage  Chairman Seamus Sheridan, welcomed Joey and gave a brief introduction to the eager young players who were all waiting to meet the Kilkenny star.  Joey then took the various age groups and mentors for coaching session and finished off signing autographs and posing for pictures with our young hurlers.  `  He is a great ambassador for Kilkenny hurling and we wish him well in the Championship and thank himfor giving his time to us.      On the last day of the camp we held a number of matches for the Terry, Moss & Helen Finglas Cups, followed by a BBQ and presentation of plaques, medals and club gear to all participants.    The executive of Castlepollard Hurling club would like to thank all our generous sponsors;  Millbrook Foods, Checkout Shop, Pat the Baker, Sheelin Meats(Finea), Simons Craft Butchers, Tesco Express, The Vegetable Shop, Moran’s Filling Statio.
