Mini National Hurling League

Primary 5 children from St.Canices Primary school Dungiven participated in a mini National Hurling league competition over the past few weeks. The P.5 classes were divided up into 8 teams and played 3 games every week for 5 weeks. A league table was updated each week and put up on the school notice board. At the end of the mini league the top 2 teams played off in the final. This was an excellent programme for a large school as it maximised number participation and gave all the children a taste of hurling/camogie. Hopefully the children will now have got a taste for the games and will join with their local clubs over the next few weeks when the indoor programmes begin. The eventual winners of the competition were Cork, led by captain Darragh McGilligan, who defeated Derry in the final. Well done to everyone who took part
