Primary School Summer GoGames Blitzes 2016

Monaghan Coaching and Games would like to invite your school to participate in the Summer 2016 Primary School Football and Hurling Go Games Blitz. This year the blitzes will take place on a regional basis with seven different venues throughout the county hosting the blitzes. The blitzes are planned to take place over three days: Wednesday 8th, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th June. The blitzes are aimed at boys and girls from 3rd and 4th class in football and 5th and 6th class in Hurling.

Similar to last year, schools can enter teams in a three different categories. The three categories are boys only, girls only and mixed. Schools can also enter as many teams as they wish in each category.

To facilitate as many schools as possible taking part and to help cut down on travel costs, the blitzes will take place over three days and in different areas throughout the county, it is hoped that more schools will now take part in the Summer GoGames blitzes considering there will be reduced costs associated with transport to and from the blitzes and teachers will be out of class for less time during the day.

A team will consist of nine players (panel of 12) and each team will play a minimum of 3 games.

For planning purposes, it is essential that we receive confirmation of how many teams each school would like to enter in the blitz. If your school are attending the blitz, it is asked to let Patrick McCarron know via email or post before Wednesday the 1st June. We need your school to attend this blitz to make it a success.

If you have any questions about the blitz, please feel free to contact either Colin Malone (087 788 2859) or Patrick McCarron (087 216 3580) and they will be glad to help.
