On Thursday 9th June, our Senior Room pupils journeyed to Dr. Morris park in Thurles for a small school GAA blitz. Our 3rd class boys opted to play hurling and I was blown away at their hurling skills. They really worked together as a team.
Our 4th, 5th and 6th class all decided to play football and were all selected for different teams, which meant they were against their school friends at times and had to learn to work as a team with other pupils from different schools. Each team played 3 -4 matches. The students from Killurney N.S. played so well and left nothing on the pitch!!
Well done everyone!
After the blitz, we walked to Semple Stadium and were given a private tour. The children got to meet Conor Bowe, senior hurler and ask him some questions. They got a tour of the dressing rooms and the opportunity to run through the tunnel and out on to the pitch just as the players do. We were thrilled to see Killurney N.S. on the score board. The children got to lift some of this year's silverwear also. (Which unfortunately, isn't that much this year!!)
The children loved the blitz and the tour of Semple Stadium but I think their favourite part of the day was stopping for ice cream on the way home!!
