Whistles at the Ready - Hurling and Camogie Young Whistlers Training
Kilcoole Primary School played host to the latest Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Young Whistler training course on the 16th January 2020. Pupils from seven different schools across the North East of Wicklow participated on the day. Philip Campion, GDA, delivered the course with assistance from Breda Donnolly representing the Camogie Association and Kevin Spain. Pupils discussed the rules of the game, identified the qualities of the good referee and role played match situations. Each Young Whistler was then presented with a certificate on completion, a whistle and a Cumann na mBunscol referee’s jacket. Our newly qualified referees will take charge of hurling and camogie games in their schools and Allianz Cumann na mBunscol blitzes in the coming year. Well done to all new referees, Cumann na mBunscol committee members and a huge thank you to Philip, Breda and Kevin. The schools participating schools included: St. Laurences Greystones, St. Cronan’s, Scoil Chualann, Newtownmountkennedy PS, Gaelscoil Uí Cheadaigh, Greystones Educate Together, Kilcoole Primary School.
