3rd & 4th Class Girls Show their Footballing Talents!

The rescheduled 3rd & 4th class Girls Participation Blitz took place in Bray Emmets GAA Club on Wednesday 8th November in sunny and dry conditions. 30 teams from various schools participated on the day with each team playing four matches. The matches were very competitive with lots of great footballing talent on display. There were no goalkeepers so the emphasis was on point-taking to score. Many examples of great shooting were on view for all the spectators to see. A huge thank you to our Young Whistlers from 5th & 6th class who came along to assist with refereeing the matches. Many of these children recently completed a Young Whistler Course. Well done all!

The day of matches was a great success and it was very encouraging to see over 300 girls participating in the blitz. Well done to all schools who were involved and who are promoting Gaelic Games in their schools. The participating schools were; Newtownmountkennedy PS, St Brigids, St Laurences, Greystones ETNS, Greystones Community School, Gaelscoil Clocha Liatha, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh, Roundwood NS, Scoil Na Coroine Mhuire Ashford, Nun’s Cross, Gaelscoil Chill Mhántáin, St Patricks WW Town, St Peters, Holy Rosary and Kilmacanogue NS.
