HURLING 365
Thank you and well done to Shane Reddy, the teachers and principal Darren Nolan and all involved with the 365 Hurling in the Ballagh School. It was a massive success with between 30 to 40 children taking part each week. Last Wednesday was the last day and the children were all given a cert and some refreshments to mark the occasion.
A big thank you to all the parents/guardians, coaches, club members and anyone who helped in any way making it such a success. Thanks also to Shaun Murphy for taking the time to attend the training and handing out the certs to the children. The children really enjoyed the past few months and they look forward to 365 Hurling again next year.
