U13 Indoor Hurling Blitz
Ulster Council GAA hosted 6 Indoor Hurling Blitzes on Saturday 13th November.
3 Blitzes were held at the Eddie Irvine Indoor Centre in Bangor with 3 of the indoor 3g pitches used. 2 Blitzes were held at Omagh Leisure centre and 1 Blitz was held in the Phoenix Centre, Carrickmacross.
All teams got between 1½ – 2hrs, in which groups were allocated and after playing a series of games the groups were changed and teams got more games.
The Ulster Council’s Regional Hurling Officers ran the event in which they experimented with the rules and the equipment used to maximise the skills being used.
Overall it was a successful day with 330 young hurlers from 23 Clubs and across 8 counties plying their trade.
Again we would like to thank all the Players, mentors, Parents and County Coaches who helped make the day a success.
The following clubs took part:
Bangor: Ballycran, Ballygalget, Ballyvarley, Carryduff, Bredagh, Dungannon, St Paul’s Holywood and Shane O Neills.
Carrickmacross: Carrickmacross, Doire Núis, Gaeil Truacha, Newry Shamrocks and Warrenpoint.
