Sunday 5th October saw young hurlers from all nine Ulster counties getting the opportunity to display their skills at GAA headquarters, Croke Park. The games were refereed by young whistlers from Antrim, Monaghan and Cavan.
Under 16 squads played in three blitz tournaments and each County got to play two games of 20 minutes per half. The full itinerary is outlined below:
Blitz 1
| 10.00 | Cavan | V | Fermanagh |
| 10.45 | Fermanagh | V | Monaghan |
| 11.30 | Monaghan | V | Cavan |
Blitz 2
| 12.20 | Derry | V | Donegal |
| 13.05 | Donegal | V | Tyrone |
| 13.50 | Tyrone | V | Derry |
Blitz 3
| 14.40 | Antrim | V | Armagh |
| 15.25 | Armagh | V | Down |
| 16.10 | Antrim | V | Down |
The players and mentors were also treated to a tour of the Stadium and the Croke Park Museum.
All our Counties enjoyed the fun day, where the focus was not on winning but in getting as many young Ulster hurlers as possible to experience playing in Croke Park.
