A NEW ERA ARRIVES
Cumann na mBunscol branch begins in south Wicklow
SUPER START
THERE has been a branch of Allianz Cumann na mBunscol set up in south Wicklow. It’s fantastic to see more Gaelic games being played across the county and more children getting involved.
There was a successful indoor hurling blitz for fifth and sixth class held in Aughrim this week.
The schools represented were Carnew, Glenealy, Gaelscoil, Aughrim and Coolafancy.
There were some fantastic skills on show and everyone had a great day. Everyone in Allianz Cumann na mBunscol wish those in the south every good wish with their fixtures, keep up the good work!
YOUNG WHISTLERS
Allianz Cumann na mBunscol, Chill Mhantáin, will hold our now annual ‘Young Whistlers’ (Gaelic football) course on Wednesday, December 6, from 3.30 to 4.30 p.m. in Bray Emmets clubhouse.
This course on December 6 will be for schools in the north-east region and will be coordinated this year by our Games Development Officers.
As places are limited you are advised to let Runaí Claire Frawley know as soon as possible if your school would like to participate.
All schools have been emailed the details. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Schools are asked to send a fifth class boy and a girl on the day. Please forward Claire the names of the children involved and their parents names and contact numbers.
The committee are also hoping to run ‘Young Whistler’ courses in both south and west Wicklow at another date. If you are in these areas and would like to take part please contact the relevant Games Development Officer - contact details are listed below!
