Winter Warriors Put on Wonderful Hurling Display
On Tuesday, January 21st, a thrilling 3rd and 4th class hurling blitz took place in Bray, showcasing impressive skills and sportsmanship. Despite the time of year, the young players displayed fantastic hurling, and the event was a huge success.
A total of 17 teams competed in the blitz, with schools from the local area coming together to participate. The schools involved were Greystones CNS, St. Laurence's N.S, St. Cronan's N.S, St. Patrick's N.S, Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath, Nuns Cross N.S, St. Joseph's N.S, St. Peter's N.S, Greystones Educate Together N.S, and St. Fergal's N.S.
Each team played at least four games, and there was a fantastic display of hurling skills throughout the day. The games were played in great spirit, and all the children seemed to have a blast. The event was made even more exciting with eight pitches running simultaneously, ensuring a fast-paced atmosphere.
Adding to the event's success were the ‘Young Whistlers’ from 6th class, who refereed the matches. Their enthusiasm and effort in managing the games were greatly appreciated.
A big thank you goes out to Bray Emmets for generously allowing the use of their excellent facilities. We also want to express our gratitude to all the coaches, parents, and teachers who dedicated their time to coaching the children and assisting on the day.
