On the 5th of November Castletroy College hosted a Ladies football blitz which included 12 teams.
The blitz was hosted in order for 30 Transition Year students, who had participated in a coaching course in September, to receive their coaching certificates. These Certificates entitles these students to coach a team or referee a match.
The Transition Years organised and ran the blitz in a well ordered fashion and were all assigned different jobs. Many of the students were assigned teams to coach and look after throughout the blitz. There were also many other jobs such as umpire, referee, first aid and event manager.
Overall, it was a great event which saw both of Doon’s teams playing against each other in the final. The winners received a cup and gold medals and the runners up were awarded silver medals.
