An Impressive Twenty Seven Teams take part in the Allianz 5th and 6th Class Boys Football Participation Day!
Allianz Cumann na mBunscol's third and final outing, before the Halloween mid-term, was for the boys of 5th & 6th class. Similar to the 3rd & 4th classes, this was their first outing of the year. The boys performed impressively in this participation blitz in Bray Emmets GAA Ground.
Thankfully the weather forecast lived up to our expectations and we had ideal conditions for the children to display their teamwork and team spirit.
Again, the boys' level of skill and game awareness was exceptional and there were some fine team performances to be viewed in all 7 groups.
Most encouragingly we had over 300 boys showing their enthusiasm to play and to develop their gaelic football skills.
Again a special word of thanks goes to Dave Barry & Michael Ó Murchú for organising the grounds for the children and for overseeing the fixtures in Groups 1&2. To Garrett Doyle GDA for organising our Transition Year Student referees, and furthering their development, as well as overseeing Groups 3 & 4, to the teachers/coaches who helped run Groups 5, 6 & 7, thank you for your cooperation and help.
To the 2 Young Whistlers from Kilcoole N.S., what a great display by you both, well done!
Lastly to the children who attended the blitz - 'maith sibh', bhí sibh ar fheabhas, sár iarracht ó gach uile imreoir.
