A huge thank you to the 15 clubs who provided 34 teams to play in the blitz last Saturday in the Phoenix Park. It was fantastic to see every team that was submitted actually arrive and in plenty of time resulting in no team waiting around and we were ready to start prior to 11am a credit to all the mentors. I must say that without Anne Noctor from my neighbouring club Kilmacud Crokes offering to help me that I would never have had all 17 pitches ready in time, thanks Anne.
The only disappointment was the torrential rain that fell as we completed the last of our matches which left us all looking like drowned rats. We hope the weather will be kinder next October when we will hold the next blitz for this age group. If any of your mentors have photographs if they could forward - we will put on the website.
