Registration Day 2005

Registration morning.

A huge crowd attended Church Road last Saturday morning March 12th to register Rockies for 2005. An amazing total of over 350 registrations, a new record for a single morning, were taken over the two hour period and there was also a wonderful response to the special hurley offer.

Blackrock Primary Chairperson, Seamus Hartnett was delighted with the huge response, “it shows that parents and children are very interested in hurling and want to be involved in healthy outdoor sports activity. I would like to thank everybody who made the morning such an over whelming success and we cannot wait for Saturday 9th April when we begin hurling outdoors at Church Road.”

Rockies can still register on Saturday 9th April or at their training sessions however completed registration forms must be returned to the club if youngsters intend to play hurling with Blackrock Primary and Juvenile sections this year. Due to insurance issues and administrative reasons hurlers must be registered with the club, so outstanding registrations must be returned as outlined above.

Launch of Rocky hurling helmet.

This took place also at Church Road last Saturday morning March 12th. Ronan Curran, marketing manager with Mycro Sports attended the formal presentation of the new helmet which is now available in the Rockies colours and contains the Rocky logo.

Due to the new rules in relation to the compulsory wearing of full face guard helmets, the under age sections advise all players in the club to ensure they have the correct helmet. An indication of the outstanding success of this new Rocky helmet was that virtually our entire stock of helmets was sold out and we received orders for many more. It is in everyone’s best interest to ensure that hurling continues to remain one of the safest sports around for young people to play.
