Crotta played host to a county U9 Go-Games blitz on Saturday morning 29th June, Clubs taking part were Crotta Gaa Ballyduff GAA – Kerry Lixnaw GAA St. Brendan’s Hurling Club with all clubs playing two teams. Small, sided games meant there were lots of touches and space for the players to hurl. Despite the misty weather the standard of hurling by all players was brilliant and shows the great work being put in with their coaches. Thanks to all clubs for the enjoyable morning’s hurling. Thanks to all parents as always for your time and understanding in facilitating these blitzes.
