Under 8 & 10 club blitz
The next round of under 8 & 10 blitz will take place on Saturday June 26th. We would ask all clubs to please conduct the blitz under the Go-Games model i.e. all children should be playing in all games. The maximum number playing per side should be eleven and mentors should reduce the pitch size to accommodate for smaller team sizes and also for the under 8 games. Clubs that have big numbers should break up into a number of teams. Also please do not let us hear of clubs playing children out of age.
If a club cannot attend on the arranged date would they please contact the other club/clubs involved or Thomas Keenan as early as possible so as alternative arrangements can be made.
The following are the groupings for Saturday June 26th. First named club will act as host.
