Hurling Arena
On Saturday 12th January we were fortunate to have Cork goalkeeper Dónal Óg Cusack
give a demonstration in the Arena with the help of Crokes seniors Paul Graham, Rory O’Carroll and Conor Clinton. A large number of club coaches and senior players attended what was a most informative and useful session. Afterwards Dónal Óg obliged youngsters with autographs and words of encouragement before giving a talk to the Under 14 squad. Many thanks to Dónal Óg for making the long journey from Cork and giving us so much of his time. Given that Dónal Óg was one of those chiefly consulted during the planning of the Arena we were delighted to receive his very positive imprimatur for the finished product. For more click HERE

Punchestown Corporate Race Day
The new Hurling Arena in Glenalbyn was built at a cost of €500,000 and will be a huge addition to hurling in the club. It is entirely funded by the Hurling Section and we still have some way to go.
Our fifth annual Kilmacud Crokes Hurling Corporate Race Day takes place in Punchestown on Tuesday 22nd April 2008 and proceeds go towards the cost of the Arena. The event has gone from success to success and bookings are now being taken. Donations or spot prizes remain very welcome. Please contact Brian Geraghty, Hurling Section, Commercial Officer, 087-2312378 and brianpgeraghty@eircom.net.
