School Hurling Initiative
As part of our initiative to introduce hurling to as many children as possible, a coaching programme has been organised in Whitechurch school for the duration of this term. Each Tuesday afternoon, John Sheehan or Philip O'Connell under take the coaching of some boys and girls between first and fourth class. This addition to the curriculum is already proving to be popular with all concerned and it is hoped that we will be able to build further on this in the future. In order to mark the beginning of the hurling training the club presented three dozen hurley's to the school.
