Cheltenham Day 2

Today is not as simple as yesterday so don't go mad unless you can afford it. Hopefully we can get a few home but it's a bit of an open field!!

13:30

Some target e/w

Alfa Beat

Chicago Grey

Not much form here so might be best to avoid it but it should be between Alfa Beat and Chicago Grey, some target as an e/w!

Oscar wells

So Young to win

Aikman place bet or e/w

Oscar wells prefers softer ground but could be there to battle So young, Aikman is the outsider!!

14:40

Time for Rupert

Wayward Prince e/w

Bostons Angel @ 14/1

Time for Rupert is the favorite but not good value. Wayward e/w and Bostons Angel has a chance.

The Next Generation Scientists with the Next Generation Hurley

The BT Young Scientists competition was held earlier this month and Ciarán O' Brien, Harry Coffey and Rían Cannon had a project entitled "Cultec v Wooden, Which is better?" Tests were already completed in AIT when we could have used guys in TY!!!! Their project was excellently documented and presented and we were so impressed Tom even went up to visit them in the RDS while they were showing off their good work.

Cúltecs Back with the Dubs!!

We haven't been blogging in a while (We as in "I"), so I have a few things I thought I'd put up!! I also must apologise for the delay in getting them posted up because they were sent in to us ages ago. So first up is Barry Hennessy who hurls with Limerick and Killmallock. This picture was taken in the Limerick county final which they won!!

Then at the start of this year Ryan O' Dwyer originally from Tipperary but now hurling for Dublin made his debut using a Cúltec.

And then David (Dotsy) O'Callaghan had a go!!

Another Title for Offaly Camogie

Congratulations to the Offaly Camogie Team who were back in an All-Ireland final for the third year in a row and were successful for the second year in a row. The girls have now won the Junior All-Ireland and Intermediate All-Ireland titles in the space of 2 years. And everyone here at Cúltec want to congratulate them........... Especially those who were using Cúltecs!!!

Red Cúltec Hurley in Croke Park

We think this is the first time a coloured hurley took to the field in croke park. Lorcan McCaughey was playing in the INTO Mini-Sevens at half time during the All Ireland Senior Hurling Semi Final in Croke Park. Lorcan from Co. Down certainly stood out with his red Cúltec Hurley and even scored a point.

On the same day we had an advert in the match programme if you didn't get to see it here it is;

Paul Cleary our 1,000th Online Order

When we launched our e-commerce website last year allowing people to buy hurleys online we never thought it was going to be such a huge success. A couple of weeks ago we had our 1,000th order online and to mark the occasion we gave it out for free. So Congratulations and a big thank you to Paul Cleary (the lucky customer) and his Mammy Sarah who sent us in some fantastic photos of Paul playing with his new Cúltec Hurley.

Innovation Vouchers

A big thanks to everyone in Enterprise Ireland for the help we received while developing our synthetic hurley. We were lucky enough to be invited to their event to celebrate the success of their Innovation Vouchers programme. Conor Lenihan attended the event and stood in for a photo.
