Enclosed find details/dates/venues for our upcoming Mayo Cuman na mBunscol hurling blitz days. Please note that the blitzes are starting next Tuesday 24th April so please take note of your schools blitz and put it in your calendar of events. If your date doesn’t suit your school, please ring me to organise a swap to an alternative blitz. Finals date is TBC as we are waiting for McHale Park free dates.
Many thanks to all the teachers, coaches and referees for your help thus far in 2018, and we are looking forward to the action ahead. We have 41 schools taking part this year, which is the highest level of participation we have had in Cuman na mBunscol hurling.
