The first all county “GR8” U10 Football Go Games blitz was held in Cloghan on Saturday past 6th May. 23 clubs took part with over 300 kids playing football. The Clubs involved where – Donaghmoyne, Carrick, Inniskeen, Corduff, Clontibret, Castleblayney, Scotstown, Emyvale, Truagh, Latton, Aughnamullen, Clones, Sean McDermotts, Aghabog, Eire Og, Tyholland, Ballybay, Drumhowan, Oram, Killeevan, Doohamlet, Monaghan Harps & Killanny. To ensure that the day ran smoothly we had two time slots to accommodate all involved which ran from 9:30 – 11:30 and from 12:00 – 2:00. Each team played 3 games lasting 24 minutes. 3 periods of 8 minutes.
Big thanks to all the clubs who took part to make this day a big success and to the referees who officiated on the day. We couldn’t play the games without them. Big thanks to Emmett Flanagan and co who had the pitches in great shape for the kids. I would like to say a huge thanks to our sponsor Dermot McArdle at GR8 Entertainment. GR8 kindly rewarded each kid who played on the day a voucher to use the next time they come to GR8. You can check out what GR8 has to offer here http://www.gr8entertainment.ie/
