Almost 100 children were again in attendance ranging from the tiniest of 3 year old tiny tots to hardiest of 14 year old’s.
Bernard McGinley managed the 4 to 8 year old’s in the Clubhouse Hall ably assisted by his coaches to spare them the wintry conditions while some of the parents and grandparents relaxed.
Outside the 9 to 14 year old’s were divided up into 4 groups, the Junior Girls and Boys and the Senior Girls and Boys. Each group was then taken by a pair of coaches and taken through training session focused on the fundamentals of the game. Then 8 teams were picked and, despite the poor weather 4 games were played where all the players could test out the skills they had learned. Afterwards they all retreated to the tea rooms.
