DETAILS have been released of the finals of the GAA For All Letterkenny area primary schools finals today, Wednesday.
The matches were postponed before Easter due to the weather, but they will go ahead this morning and this afternoon in O’Donnell Park with the showpiece finals in memory of two GAA greats who dedicated their lives to sport – Elaine Winston Friel and Susan Carr.
In a message to the schools, Odhran Doherty from GAA For ALL writes:
On behalf of everyone involved the GAA for All PEACE III Project I want to thank you sincerely for taking part in the Schools league for the past four weeks, without your help and cooperation it would be impossible to run such a huge event. I hope that you and all the children enjoyed the games and used the league as an opportunity to meet new friends and colleagues from the other schools. It is important to remember that the idea of this league was to celebrate the lives of two great local women from the Letterkenny area, Elaine Winston Friel and Susan Carr who spent their lives promoting the values and benefits of participating in sport and having an active lifestyle. I hope that our coaching programme in your school and your participation in the schools league has provided your children with a platform to take part in Sport and Physical Activity. I hope you all enjoy the day and good luck to your teams!
Yours in Sport,
Odhran Doherty
