This Saturday night, Páirc Esler in Newry will provide a clue to just how far the Down senior team has come on their footballing journey. But if you want to look into the future of
Ulster football, then the

newly-named Páirc Aodha Dhuibh in Carryduff is the place to be.

Saturday day sees the annual U-10 Tournament organised by Carryduff GAC take place, drawing future stars of Gaelic football from Down, Tyrone,
Derry and Antrim to the Knockbracken Drive venue.

Last year’s event was a tremendous success, thanks to the organising abilities of the committee, the sponsorship from Bank of Ireland, Castlereagh Borough Council and Lakeside Autos, and not least the weather which contributed to a wonderful spectacle as a piper led the teams around the pitch at Carryduff at the start of the day. The football that followed was fast, exciting and competitive right to the end. This year Páirc Aodha Dhuibh will play host to eleven U10 teams from as far afield as Aldergrove, Errigal Ciarán, St.Gall’s and Teconnaught. Also there, defending their hard-won titles from last year will be the teams from Watty Graham’s, Maghera, Bredagh and O’ Donovan Rossa from Belfast .

Why not come along and sample the warm Carryduff welcome? Throw-in for first match is at 10.30.
