Young Hurlers Showcase their Skills

The 2nd Ulster Provincial U10 Indoor Hurling Blitz took place on Saturday 6th March, in the superb Meadowbank Sports Arena, Magherafelt.

This year an astounding 756 players took part in the ‘FUN’ Centred Blitz, playing on 90 teams from 43 Clubs from across Ulster.

Speaking after the event, Aogán Ó Fearghail, Uachtarán Chomhairle Uladh said, “This is the second year of Ulster GAA’s U10 Indoor Hurling Blitz and it’s really proving to be a big hit with children across every county in Ulster.  As a result this important event for young hurlers is now established as a key date in Ulster GAA’s calendar.

“A total of 220 games were played over the 3 hours with all teams showing great skill, enthusiasm and commitment.  Above all, the children enjoyed themselves, with ‘fun’ being the key word.

“I thank all those clubs who travelled to Magherafelt to participate in the blitz, all of whom made this a worthwhile day.   I also commend the efforts of Ulster GAA coaches for their preparation, co-ordination and delivery of this project and a special mention must go to everyone at Meadowbank Sports Arena for the use of their outstanding facilities.”
