Mult Skills Day with the GAA and IFA

At the end of November the IFA and GAA within Derry City launched the first multi sports fun skills day in Bready Cricket Club.
This cross community event included over 100 children from 4 schools in the Derry City area. For many children this was their first taste of Gaelic Sport and a great time was had by all.
The event consisted of 3 seperate skill areas an area for Gaelic skills, a soccer skills area and Fundamental skill area which is common to both sports. The Fundamental skills proved a big hit for all with the Gaelic Start stations being used for the first hour and Fun races being held during the second hour. The event was cordinated by IFA coaches Stefan Deery and Patricia Doherty and by GAA coaches Colum Tracey and Simon Gillespie.
Many thanks also to the assisting coaches from the IFA Eamonn Curry and Shane Coyle and to Tyrone GAA star Joe Mc Mahon for assisting on the day. The event was also kindly sponsored by Asda who supplied fruit and water for all children, teachers and coaches on the day. Below are some pictures of the event:
