The Loch Garman U17 hurling Tournament was a huge success and it was well received and praised by all the participating Counties. There was 168 players who took to the field of play from 5 counties ( 2 Wexford teams, 2 Dublin teams, Kilkenny, Waterford and Limerick) and played a min of 3 games in sunny conditions in the great GAA surroundings of Pairc Charman, it was great day out for parents, players and mentors. Billy Walsh proudly presented the Cup to the Limerick Captain and Noel O Keeffe (Vice Chair) presented the Shied to the Wexford Captain. Both Wexford teams had a sucessfull tournament with Wexford Gold unfortuntly beating finalists in the Cup final and Wexford Purple winning the Shield Final beating a strong Kilkenny team
