1st and 2nd Class Football Blitz in the West

Body: 

Over 110 children from 1st/2nd classes attended a  9 A Side Football Blitz in Stratford/Grangecon Gaa grounds last week. The schools in attendance were Tynock N.S, Talbotstown N.S, Donard N.S, Hacketstown N.S , Knockananna N.S and Stratford N.S. The aim of the blitz was on skill development and fun with all children taking part in the small sided games. Many thanks to Mary Keefe for organising blitz and to Jim Bollard and the Stratford/Grangecon club for setting up pitches and allowing schools to use the grounds. A special thanks also to all the parents and teachers who attended on the day.
