Munster Cities U10 Hurling Blitz – Sept 12th Limerick 2009
A chairdi,
Munster Council GAA welcomes you to the proud sporting city of Limerick and would like to
thank you for entering the Munster Cities U10 Hurling Blitz 2009. This fantastic initiative has
run for a number of years now. Last year in excess of 50 teams from Limerick, Cork & Waterford
travelled to Cork and a similar number in 2007 to Waterford. It provides an ideal opportunity
for coaches to assess team performance against 'foreign' opposition and also will give clubs an
opportunity to make new contacts to play friendly games and blitzes against in the future. Finally
many thanks to the clubs of Limerick (Old Christian’s, Ballybrown, St. Patrick’s and Monaleen)
for staging the many blitzes and to the teams of Cork & Waterford for making the trip.
Approximately 500childeren will play hurling on September 12th in a fun and enjoyable manner.
I hope all have a great day!
Íomáint Abú!

The emphasis on this blitz is to maximise FUN & PARTICIPATION for all. There will
be no trophies. Every child is a winner and strong/forceful/aggressive coaches, mentors,
parents and spectators will not be tolerated, especially to referees, coordinators and of
course children/players.
All clubs are requested to be at their respective venues 30 minutes before the start of the
first game. Clubs arriving late may forfeit matches.
Referees will be appointed for the blitz. However in the unlikely event of a shortfall,
clubs should agree to appoint their own referee so each coach should bring a whistle as a
backup.
Each player/mentor from Cork & Waterford should bring his/her own packed lunch for
the day. This will not be provided, however the host club may decide to provide light
refreshments.
