The Colts boys teams will host a Mini Rugby Blitz vs Sligo RFC on Saturday 8th October 2016. The blitz will start at 10am on the Convent Pitch, Claremorris and is the first blitz of the 2016/17 season. All the Colts girls teams will have training as normal as Sligo cannot bring their girls teams. We are planning for the morning activities to be completed by 11.30am.

Details on the Mini Rugby Blitz vs Sligo RFC

Sligo RFC will provide the opposition on Saturday 8th October in the first mini rugby blitz of the 2016/17 season. The mini blitz vs Sligo RFC will kick-off at 10am & we are planning for all the games to be finished by 11.30am.  Throughout the morning there will be games for the U7, U8, U9, U10, U11 & U12 boys teams. The weather forecast on Saturday morning is for cool and dry conditions so please ensure your child comes along dressed in warm clothes and ideally, with a change of clothes for when the mini rugby blitz vs Sligo RFC has been completed.  Gum shields are compulsory for all players on Saturday and the rule will be strictly enforced.

There will be no parking on the road outside the Convent Pitch on Saturday – to avoid traffic congestion we are asking parents and supporters traveling to the pitch to use the Old Knock Road and leave via the Castlebar Road exit. Can parents, guardians and supporters who will be staying for the blitz please use the Mount St. Michael Secondary School Car park as the road at the pitch entrance will be cordoned off.

There will be food and treats for all players once the games are finished. We would be grateful to any parents who can bring sandwiches & treats on Saturday or help out with catering on the day. Please contact Annette Byrne on 087 220 4123 or Robert Campbell  on 087-741 1619 with any questions or with offers of help on Saturday morning.
