All players played extremely well in this close match, with Blackrock reversing the result of the U12 Final the previous year. Na Piarsaigh had a great start and fired over points with tremendous skill. Blackrock eventually edged their way back and goals by Joe Logue and Jack Canning sealed the win.

U/13 Championship Sat Sept 20th 2008 Blackrock won this magnificent game of hurling between 2 evenly matched sides on Sat Sept. 20th. A goal late in the second half by Nathan Adams proved to be the difference between the sides.
U/13 league semi-final V Douglas Blackrock overcame Douglas last Wednesday in u/13 league semi final. Goals win matches and so it proved to be in this particular game, with Eoin O Connell, Joe Logue, Brian O Leary and David Hurley doing the damage for Blackrock. Fair play to Douglas who battled throughout but on this occasion Blackrock emerged the victors. __ August 2008 Douglas tournament Blackrock U-13 team participated in the Annual Douglas U13 Hurling Tournament. We played 3 matchs versus Midleton, Eire Og (Ennis) and Durlus Og. A slow start resulted in a defeat to Midleton in first game, and the Rockies improved over their second game to edge out Eire Og. Overcoming Durlus Og in our third game proved too difficult, especially as we lost PJ Green, our best and most consistent player on the day to injury. A rusty start for the u/13s who can only improve as the season progresses. The tournament was very well organised and run and we would like to thank our hosts for their excellent hospitality. Congratulations to Midleton, the winners of the Shield, and to Durlas Og the winners of the Plate. ____ June 2008

Blackrock 3-4 Douglas 2-4 At Douglas Tuesday June 6th, 2008 Again a very close game between two well matched teams. Blackrock worked hard for their second win in 4 days.

Under 12 League final. Blackrock 3 - 4 Na Piarsaigh 3 - 5 The Rockies were ahead in this game by seven points with 8 minutes on the clock however three goals from Na Piarsiaghs turned a possible victory into defeat. Loose Blackrock marking allowed Alan O'Sullivan in, while a very close in free from Jay Cronin along with a deflected ball from another free added to the Rockies woes in the concluding stages. Piarsaighs were dominant in the early stages and led by 0 - 4 to 0 - 1 at the interval. They increased the lead to four soon afterwards, however a goal for the Rockies from Eoin O'Connell steadied the Church road ship. A long range effort from Eoin McCarthy from 60 meters found its way to the back of the Na Piarsaigh net. A good pass from Eric Grimes put Joe Logue through for a third goal soon afterwards. A penalty to the Rockies allowed Eoin O'Connell to increase the lead to seven, however the three goal blitz then caught the Rockies. Joe Logue had a final chance but was unlucky not to find the net in the run in. The Rockies will rue missed chances and being caught at the post, however they can be pleased with their fine performance, which gives them a solid platform on which to construct a good hurling side for the future under the watchful eyes of Wayne Sherlock and Jim Cashman and their mentors.

Under 12 Championship Played at Nemo Rangers on Saturday 23rd June St Finbarrs 2 - 12 Blackrock 1 - 2. This match was level at 1 - 1 at the interval and while the Rockies were short five regulars, the sides looked very even. Joe Logue had converted a fine goal for the Rockies after 15 minutes. In the second half playing with the wind, the Barrs attacked from start to finish and put over some fine points with Brian Ramsey in particular in great form, assisted by Dylan Quinn and Eoin Comyns. The Rockies had fine performances from PJ Green at full back and Cathal Cormack at centre back. Others who tried hard were Glen Stokes and Ian O'Keeffe, however St.Finbarrs were scoring some lovely points from all angles and deserved their victory. Referee Kevin Murphy handled the game well.
__________ DETAILS BELOW THIS SECTION RELATE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS GROUP OF PLAYERS IN 2006 AS U-11'S _____________________ Oct 2006 Under 11 League semi-final. Blackrock 2 - 4 Douglas 4 - 6 played at Douglas on Saturday 14th October What a difference a month makes in hurling as Douglas overturned the earlier league result in the game played at Douglas on Saturday 14th October. Playing into a strong wind in the first half the Rockies were up against it and trailed at half time 1 - 4 to 0 - 0. Cathal Cormack at centre back and Niall Cashman at centre field were playing well, however it was evident that many of the 50/50 balls were not being won and the overall performance from the Rockies was not matching the Douglas hunger. In the second half Blackrock fought hard, none more so than subs Eoin O'Connell and Ian O'Keeffe. Gavin Connolly made three spectacular saves in goal, while Darragh Kiely was excellent throughout. However Douglas got the goals at the right times and ran out deserving winners.

Report on the Ber Ryan Memorial Tournament in Lismore Co. Waterford. 29 April 2006.
The Rockies under 11s following 2 great wins over Cappoquin 3 -3- to 1-1 and Cois Bride 4 - 1 to nil, qualified for the semi final of the Ber Ryan Memorial Tournament in Lismore Co. Waterford.
Playing wonderful exciting hurling against the local Lismore team the Rockies were 4 - 2 to 1 - 1 up after 10 minutes. However in the space of 1 minute injuries to 5 of our key players ensured that Lismore, having gained the initiative, eventually won by 7 - 2 to 5 - 2.
Joe Logue, Cathal Cormac, Ian O'Keeffe, Niall Woods and Glen Stokes, though injured, showed true Rockies spirit by playing through the pain barrier.
Joe Logue having picked up a nasty leg injury and having been taken off showed immense bravery by insisting on returning to the field of play.
Special mention also to Brian O'Leary, Craig O'Donovan , Glen Stokes and P J Green.
All the players who travelled must be complimented on their behaviour both on and off the field: they did Blackrock and their parents proud.

However goals from Cathal Cormack, Glen Stokes, and Eric Grimes put the Rockies in the driving seat. The second half was very even with Daniel O'Mahony scoring a hat trick for Sars, while Simon Irwin, Joe Logue and Cathal Cormack added goals for the Rockies.
