Go Games, which have been in place for the last three years at under eight and under ten levels in hurling and football in Kilkenny, will not be introduced at under 12 level.

The year 2009 has come to an end, so it is time to reflect on what was once again another brilliant year for Kilkenny hurling at both county and club level. It goes without saying that for everyone the highlight at county level was the first Sunday in September when the super Cats landed the incredible four-in-a-row after a pulsating final against the old enemy Tipperary.

The Galway footballers and Joe Kernan begin their 2010 campaign with an FBD encounter with Sligo this Sunday at 2pm in Tuam Stadium.

The 2009 football year was a fantastic one for Naomh Anna Leitir Mór. They regained senior status in Galway and collected the county and provincial titles at intermediate level. They ticked all their boxes and their objectives were met with style and gusto.

As a follow on from the county’s indoor hurling blitzes which have ran for the last number of years, the same type of activity is again being planned for this February by the Westmeath Coaching and Games Committee in conjunction with Cumann na mBunscol Iarmhí. The format will be similar to last year, with schools playing a series of games in a blitz with morning sessions running from 10am to 12pm and new schools involved playing in the afternoon session from 12.30pm – 2.30pm. Each school will play in one blitz with the option of a ‘Finals Day’ for each of the blitz winners. Hurling and camogie competitions will be run separately with Streete Community Hall and AIT again hosting the games.
