Sligo u8/u10 hurling format for 2015

 

The underage hurling time frame will run from June to the first week in August when the finals will be held in Markievicz park.

 

This year Sligo Coaching and Games are running a pilot programme where we are training new young hurling coaches that will be calling to clubs for 12 weeks where they will be helping the club develop skills and help energize the young talented kids in your club.

 

This year Sligo Coaching and Games hopes to have one week where the kids play matches among other clubs in a blitz format and the next week where the clubs will be trained by the young coaches that will visit your club. Two coaches will visit your club.

 

There will be two groups

 

Group 1                                                           Group2

Tubbercurry                                                     Naomh Eoin

Easkey /St.Farnan’s                                          Calry/St Josephs

Castleconnor                                                   Drumcliffe/Rossespoint

Tourlestrane                                                    Coolera/Strandhill

    

Each team will play each other in their group. By the end of the group stages the top team from each group will play each other in Markievicz Park with second play second and so on. The week in between the blitz days the coaches will attend your club session to help and support your club.

 

Note; every club from each group will host the blitz evening. The club name at the top of the sheet will host first and then the second club and so on.

If you have any problems with pitches the Sligo Centre of Excellences (Scarden) is another alternative but booking it in advance is required.
