Derry Ladies Feile Coaching Day 6th and 7th March
Derry girls were out in force at the weekend in preparation for the up coming Feile Competition.
Over 200 girls, affiliated to various club teams, took part in a coaching day held in three areas around the County.
Ballymaguigan were hosts to Ballinderry, Ardtrea, Castledawson and Moneymore. Owenbeg were the hosts to Dungiven, Craigbane, Banagher and Glen. Faughanvale hosted Ballerin and Steelstown.
The coaching days involved the girls being put through their paces by club coaches and ended with a few matches. All the girls that participated fully enjoyed the day and hopefully took with them a few skills that will help them in their league fixtures.
Many thanks go to the clubs that participated and also to Ballymaguigan, Faughanvale and Owenbeg for the use of their facilities. Each area was very well organised and there has been nothing but good feedback from the coaches involved.
It is hoped that another coaching day will be held before the end of the month and all clubs that are to participate in Feile will be represented on this occasion.

Under 13 Girls Football Development Day
As I’m sure many of you are aware Coiste Chontae Dhoíre will be hosting the All – Ireland Féile Peile na nOg in 2010.
The Féile Peile na nOg is a national festival of football for boys and girls under 14 years of age and is based on the GAA club unit. It is sponsored by Coca-Cola Bottlers (Ire) Ltd. since 1971. This is the longest running sponsorship in the GAA or of any other sporting event in this country or even in Europe.
Each year some 25,000 boys and girls take part in this festival in all 32 counties. London and Warwickshire also participate. When the preliminary competition is completed in each county, the winning club then travels to the host county (Derry) where they are hosted by families and engage the host club in football games. Since 1971 over 1 million boys and girls have participated in this great festival.
Féile Peile na nOg is a national movement with the primary objective of facilitating and enabling the personal, social and cultural development of young people. It also emphasises cultural and community activities, leadership and training through sport. It is recognised by the GAA as a major festival of great importance for the promotion of football among the youth of our country. Féile Peile na nOg places great emphasis and importance on proper participation, presentation, punctuality and sportsmanship. It reaches through the nation involving the whole community - clubs, schools, social and cultural groups, bands, civic and religious authorities and families. It helps to bond communities, forge friendships, provide educational opportunities and unearth new leaders.
The Derry county board, ladies football county board and the Féile organising committee are all keen to get as many girls playing football from Derry at the Féile Peile na nOg as possible. Currently we feel there are girls within the County who would like to take part in ladies football but who aren’t for whatever reason.
We are planning an Under 13 girls football development day on Saturday 3rd October in Owenbeg. We would like to invite any girls who aren’t currently playing for a team to come and take part at the development day which will involve some coaching and a blitz.
If clubs can register if they will have a team at the blitz that would be great. If any club has maybe 9 or 10 girls who would like to participate in Féile Peile na nOg but obviously don’t have enough to make a full team, register the girls who would like to participate and we can look at amalgamating teams for Féile.
This is a great opportunity to get more girls involved in ladies football, as already highlighted one of the main objectives of Féile is to forge long lasting friendships, lets everyone get behind it and make it an experience the girls will never forget.

I.N.T.O. MINI 7s
Today we had the INTO Primary School 7's in Hurling and Ladies Football in a sundrenched Ballinascreen. 8 teams took part in the Hurling and 16 teams in the Ladies Football.
Tirkane and St. Canice Dungiven contested an excellent huling final in which Tirkane just came out on top. It was St. Mary's Draperstown against St. Mary's Glenview who battles their way to the final however it was Draperstown who found that little bit extra and were victorious.
Well done to all the teams who took part, thanks to Kevin Toner, Ballinascreen GAC and all the referee's who made the day very enjoyable. Good luck to Tirkane and St. Mary's Draperstown in Fermanagh as the Derry Representatives.
