Derry City Primary 7 Gaelic Football Blitz

This was the third P7 blitz of the year held on Fri. 8th May at Templemore for Doire Trasna and Ardmore's feeder primary schools. By some miracle we got a break in the weather and were able to go ahead, but it was too late for three schools who had cancelled due to the rain. The three schools who did go brought four teams with a total of 44 players and played a round robin group with all teams getting 3 games. The feedback from teachers and children was excellent. Thanks to Paul Simpson for organising and coordinating the event.

Derry City P.S. Gaelic Football Blitz

Templemore Sports Complex was the venue on Wednesday for the feeder schools of Doire Trasna and Ardmore (Good Shepherd, Chapel Road, Trench Road, Glendermott) to attended a Gaelic Football Blitz. There were 182 children in total, using 4 pitches the children played a hand-pass game scoring into a zone based on the last six weeks coaching programme at their schools. The event organised by Paul Simpson was supported by NWIFE who brought 26 of their Sports students along to help co-ordinate and referee the games and gain valuable experience of working with a large group of children. The feedback from the teachers was excellent.
