1200
No, not a movie review or the number on the live register.
1,200 is the number of children that played in an all day long hurling blitz held last Saturday in the Gaelic Grounds. Teams from all over Limerick county played in an Under 12 Hurling Blitz in Limerick’s GAA HQ. As part of the recent “Lifting the Treaty” new underage structures Saturdays blitz afforded the future generation of Limerick’s hurlers a chance to show their skills. With more focus on fun and skill rather than competition and winning, Saturdays blitz consisted of over 50 clubs playing from 10a.m until after 6.0 p.m.
It was good to see all of the city and county clubs in action and considering the skill levels of some players on view, some of us long suffering Limerick hurling fans may not have to wait too much longer for Liam McCarthy to come back Shannonside.
