Hurling Awake in the West!
Blessington was the venue for a very enjoyable hurling blitz for 3rd and 4th class boys and girls in West Wicklow. Attendance was very positive with over 70 children making light of the autumnal conditions. There was a fantastic mix of experienced players who delighted in getting to represent their schools at the sport they love and new players who were eager to pick up a hurl and participate in a hurling blitz for the first time.
Well done to all the schools involved: Scoil Nioclais Naofa Dunlavin, Hollywood NS, Gaelscoil na Lochanna (2 teams), St. Mary's SNS Blessington (4 teams).
Special thanks to Conor Daly GDA, Blessington GAA and Western Gaels for their help in coordinating the blitz, providing hurleys and helmets and setting up pitches.
