Irish News Coaching Day in Annaghmore
Friday 2 June 2017 is a date that will live long in the memories of the pupils and staff of St. Patrick’s P.S. Annaghmore, Clonoe…
After a huge effort, collecting Irish News tokens, they were one of five lucky schools chosen to receive a day’s GAA coaching in association with St. Mary’s University College, Belfast. O’ Neill’s International Sport, Strathroy Dairies and The Irish News once again teamed-up to offer this most memorable of days as a lucrative reward.
St. Patrick’s P.S. GAA co-ordinators Diarmuid Scullion and Helen Lavery used the close links that have existed for many years between the school and Clonoe O’ Rahilly’s GAC to invite 8 team coaches from the local club on the day. This, in turn, enabled the entire school to benefit from the expert coaching that took place under the watchful eye of the student teachers from St. Mary’s and the O’ Rahilly coaches. The icing on the cake came when Tyrone Senior Footballers Connor McAliskey and Mickey O’ Neill made guest appearances and joined in the coaching sessions.
This was a never-to-be-forgotten occasion for all concerned.
