For the first time in many years (or maybe ever – we’ve to consult the archives!), Ballyconnell NS will enter a hurling team in Cumann na mBunscol Cheatharlach. Training started last Friday!
On Friday, some lucky 5th and 6th class pupils took part in an indoor hurling training session in the halla with 4th class teacher, Mr Byrne.
It was a highly enjoyable session for everybody. Training continues next week ahead of an Indoor Hurling Blitz in Kildavin on Wednesday 29th of November.
Míle buíochas to Mr Byrne for his initiative on putting the team together.
