James Glancy, our GPO, organised a football blitz for 6 local primary schools which took place on Tuesday 9th. in the Community Centre. Taking part were St Joseph’s, Clonburris, Sruleen, Bawnogue, Gaelscoil Cluain Dolcain, and Gaelscoil na Camoige. Each school played five round robin matches against the other schools. Each match lasted 20 minutes. All six schools were very complementary and enjoyed the event. They said it was the perfect preparation for the forthcoming Cumann na mBunscol leagues.
James did a great job organising the blitz, and had laid out 3 pitches so that the games could run simultaneously. He spoke to all the players at the end, informing them of our Juvenile teams and their training times, and inviting them to next week’s Mini Leagues.
Thanks to Mark Hampson, Robert Doyle, David Mc Cabe and Sean Mc Namara for their help organising portable posts on the day. Transition year pupils from Coláiste Chillian acted as referees.
