Wexford Schools Juvenile Hurling Blitz
261 hurlers from 11 schools descended on Parc Charman on Wednesday May 14th for the annual Wexford Schools Juvenile Hurling Blitz.
The young hurlers enjoyed perfect weather conditions for their full day of action, well co-ordinated by Declan Kielthy who had six pitches going full belt all day. There were two groups of six teams (Purple group and Gold group) with the mini-games lasting 12 minutes per half.
Enniscorthy CBS, Gorey CS and FCJ Bunclody brought teams comprising of only first year students while every other school had players under 14½ years of age. Enniscorthy CBS had a team in both the Purple group and the Gold group.
Sincere thanks go to all at Parc Charman who provided their facilities for the blitz. Thanks to the teachers involved with the 12 teams and also to the TY students who refereed throughout the day. It was a super day’s hurling with every player receiving a medal.
