Indoor Hurling Kicks Off the New Year
Please see below details for the Boys Indoor Blitz for 3rd and 4th Class.
Date and time*: Thursday, 18th January. 10:30am – 12:30am
*Times may be staggered on the day depending on how many teams are entered.
Where:
Venue 1: Coláiste Ráithín – Bray
Venue 2: Greystones CNS – Greystones
Venue 3: An Tóchar GAA Club – Roundwood
At the moment we have 3 different venues arranged. This is to make it easier for more schools to attend, reduce waiting time between games and ultimately to get more children playing hurling games.
Can teachers please get back to Brendan Doyle (Oifigeach Iomána) before the end of the school day, on Friday the 12th of January with their preferred venue and the number of teams they wish to send (e.g. St. Vincents N.S – 2 teams – An Tóchar GAA Club). Brendan can be contacted via Whatsapp on 086-0782403 or by email brendandoyle8@hotmail.com
We will do our best to facilitate every school but you may be asked to go to the next nearest venue to you, depending on numbers.
For Who: 3rd and 4th class boys. (Girls can also be used to make up teams)
*Please note that an Indoor Camogie Blitz for 3rd and 4th will take place on Thursday, 25th of January.
Format: Schools can bring as many as 3 squads of 8. Matches will be 5-a-side (more if the space allows it) with rolling subs. Fixtures will be made up once we know how many teams we have and what venues they will be at.
Equipment: Indoor hurls, helmets and first touch sliotars. If schools could bring a set of 8 bibs just in case of a colour clash or if they play another team from the same school. If anyone needs any equipment on the day i.e indoor hurls, helmets etc. let Brendan know and he will try to get it sorted for you.
If schools have any Young Whistlers in their school can they bring them on the day with their referee gear to officiate the games.
