Monaghan Coaching and Games Primary Schools Spring blitzes

Over the last 3 weeks Monaghan Coaching & Games have organised Football, Hurling and Camogie blitzes for Primary schools boys and girls.

Football

On the 3^rd & 4^th of May we welcomed 1^st & 2^nd classes to Entekra Centre of Excellence in Cloghan to take part in over 2 hours of football. Over the two days we had 600 boys and girls taking part representing 27 schools across the county.

On the 10^th & 11^th of May it was the turn of 3^rd & 4^th classes to take part in the blitzes. There was 700 boys and girls representing 30 schools across the county.

Each team got to play 6 matches with the focus on players playing in different positions and full participation from all players. Thanks to all the teachers and schools for attending the blitzes and supporting our Coaching and Games programmes.

Hurling & Camogie

On the Friday 19^th May we hosted a Hurling & Camogie Primary Schools blitz for 3^rd – 6^th class boys and girls. There was 300 boys and girls representing 6 schools across the county who took part, and they played 5 matches over the 2 hours.

The matches wouldn’t be possible without referees. Castleblayney College, Our Lady’s Secondary School Castleblayney and St. Macartan’s College Monaghan provided their TY students to referee all the games over the 3 weeks. A massive thank you and well done to all the referees.

A final thank you to all the teachers and schools for attending the blitzes and supporting our Coaching and Games programmes. See below a selection of photos taken over the 3 weeks.
