For up to 1,350 young Ulster Gaelic Games enthusiasts GAA Headquarters will open its doors today to Under 12 players from all of the Province’s nine counties, who will play a series of Go Games on the famous Jones’s Road pitch.
36 U12 Footballers & 36 u12 Hurlers from Donegal will take part in the event, CLG Donegal Football and Hurling board wish the boys along with the coaches an enjoyable day in Head Quarters
The young players will be treated to the thrills and spills of playing in our National Stadium, while the parents either re-live their playing days or dreamed of having the opportunity of playing on the hallowed turf.
The children will experience the full complement of the stadium facilities, changing in the Cusack Stand changing rooms, complete with team warm up rooms, playing on the famous pitch before going on a museum and stadium tour.
Over the years the feedback on the event have left a lasting memory for all, and thanks are due to the staff of Croke Park, who assist with the supervision of the event and also to all the county personnel who co-ordinate their own individual time slot on the pitch.
