Lift and Strike in Carlow
On Thursday 13th June Wicklow were represented by Kilcoole Primary School at a Lift and Strike tournament in Èire Óg GAA Club, Carlow. After a re-shuffle of the groups (due to some teams unable to attend), the Wicklow boys played the following 3 games: Carlow (a), Carlow (b) and Offaly. Unfortunately they came away without a victory, but had a close final battle with a very strong Offaly team. The boys found the new "Lift and Strike" rules a challenge at first but got into the games as the day went on. They played with fantastic spirit and had some terrific individual performances. The rain did little to dampen their spirits. The boys that attended from Kilcoole Primary School were: Lochlainn Hughes, Finian Hughes, Darragh Shannon,
Bailey Stamp, Cillian Goff, Tom Gammell, William Cash, Alex Doyle, Cian O' Brien, Jack Ryan, Ronan O'Boyle and Dale Van Dalen. The boys were treated to a delicious Supermacs meal after the game and went home very happy!
