Young Whistlers are trained up and ready to go!
A fantastic afternoon was spent at Bray Emmets clubhouse on Thursday 24th November where a group of 5th class boys and girls from all corners of the county were coached in the art of refereeing by highly esteemed referee David Gough. The pupils were given an insight into the etiquette attached to being a referee, to the simple rules of Gaelic football, to the hand signals required and to keeping a record of scores, etc. Each prospective player was then presented with a referee's top, whistle, notebook and certificate. These Young Whistlers will go on to referee within their schools and at different Allianz Cumann na mBunscol competitions in the coming year. Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Chill Mhantáin are extremely grateful to Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Laighean who funded the activity. Thanks to Emmet Bhré for hosting the event and to Liam McGraynor for providing the refreshments and preparing the room on the day. We appreciate the parents and teachers who travelled and gave of their time after school.
