Club Update: U 14 Academy County Stars

Huge congratulations to Ballyhogue’s own Eoghan Ennis, Kevin O'Brien, and Liam Walsh who represented the club with pride today!

The three lads lined out for the Wexford U14 football development squad in their match against Limerick, which was hosted down in Adamstown.

It is a fantastic achievement for the boys, their families, and our underage mentors. Seeing our young players pull on the purple and gold is exactly what the hard work at the pitch is all about.

Up the 'Hogues!
