Errigal College hosted its first primary school GAA blitz earlier this week, as kids from across the county came together for a day of friendly competition.
Students in fifth and sixth classes from Letterkenny and the surrounding areas took part in the blitz, with the “Glenswilly Blues” taking the trophy home with them at the end of the day!
Mr. Danny McFadden, Principal of Errigal College, said that “It was an incredible day of fun and excitement. We were thrilled to welcome these young athletes to our school and provide a platform for them to showcase their talents.”
“The event wouldn’t have been possible without the enthusiastic participation of schools from across the region. Glenswilly National School, Scoil Cholmcille, Illistrin National School, Magherabeg National School, and Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal all played vital roles in making the day an exhilarating success. Their athletes demonstrated their skills, their schools’ pride, and their commitment to the spirit of sportsmanship.”
“A heartfelt and well deserved thank you goes out to Mr. Barrett, the organiser of the event, Mr. Collum, who assisted in ensuring the smooth running of the event, and the 5th year LCPE students whose involvement and hard work on the day were pivotal to the success of the blitz.”
Mr. Luke Barrett, the coordinator of the Primary School Blitz, added, “I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. The level of skill on display was truly impressive. We are proud to have brought the community together for a day of fun, competition, and sportsmanship. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.”
