Blitz was a great success

THE second of the Alliance North Armagh Cumann na mBunscol Small Schools League blitzes took place at St. Patrick's PS, Aghagallon.

It was a wonderful day for a sporting fixture and the children performed magnificently throughout.

The strongest team on the day was St Mary’s, Derrymore, coached by Kieran Robinson, a member of the Armagh Minor management team.

However the match of the day took place between St. Mary’s, Derrytrasna and St Patrick’s, Aghagallon at the conclusion of the tournament.

The children from Lurgan Model, who are competing in the competitions for the first time this year, certainly added some colour to the proceedings, some of the team having been in this country for a relatively short period.

The quality of football from these young teams was excellent and the current Go Games rules worked well.

The children and their coaches, teachers and mentors were fully in tune with the Respect Initiative which is being implemented throughout the county this year.
