Mourne Meeting Re Juvenile Hurling Club
23/02/2004
'The Getting Down To Hurl' document was
adopted by the clubs of the county at
a special Convention held in 2002. Among
the recommendations of that Report was
that steps be taken to initiate a juvenile
hurling club in The Mournes.
Since that time the An Riocht Club has
been making efforts to promote the game
at underage level. An Comhairle Iomana
are keen to build on this, by exploring
possible levels of interest in the game
in the entire area.
To this effect the committee is inviting
the clubs and primary schools in The Mourne
area to a meeting which will be held in
The Ballymartin Inn, Ballymartin on Wednesday
3rd March 2004 at 8.00 p.m. An Comhairle
Iomana strongly encourages you to be present.
We would especially ask you to persuade
members of your club or teachers in your
school who have a strong interest in hurling
to attend
An invitation, by means of a media announcement,
is also being extended to people living
in The Mournes, who are not presently
associated with any of the GAA Clubs in
the area, but who are interested in promoting
the game of hurling, to attend this meeting.
Trusting that your school/club will be
represented on the evening.
Is mise, le meas,
