1st Year Blitz.
We held a first year blitz in the An Sportlann in Castlebar on Tuesday the 25th of October. The rain held off as these girls played throughout the morning. The schools involved were Balla Secondary school, St Josephs Castlebar and Davitt College Castlebar. We had five teams participating on the day with Davitt College and Balla entering two teams. As the games went on each player was getting more into it and getting more confidence on the ball. There was great participation on the day with 36 taking part and as this is a development blitz it was a way for teachers to get a glance of the talented footballers in 1st year within the school and this is a stepping stone for these players before they take part in the u14 schools competition.
The referees were TY students from both Davitt College and St Josephs Castlebar and took part in coaching the teams and refereeing on the day.
They were as follows Aileen Collins, Louise Dervan, Tayna Flynn from St Josephs and Jarleth Staunton, Sean Gormley, Katie Heston, Michelle Kelly from Davitt College.
Midterm break is next week so there will be no blitz next week but will be up and running the following week at 3 venues.
