Christmas Training 2010-2011

Training will take place on the following days over the Christmas holidays.

Monday 27 December 1400 - 1600

Wednesday 29 December 1400 - 1600

Monday 3 January 1000 - 1200

Wednesday 5 January 1000 - 1200

Saturday 8 January - match vs St Andrews/Newpark (UCD, time TBC)

Training is obviously very important at this point in the season, and players should make an effort to attend. We have decided on just four sessions rather than the usual six, along with a game on the final Saturday, in the hope that people will be able to make as many sessions as possible.

However, given the current weather conditions, if it is not possible to get to training safely, players should not travel.

Snow training

Thank you to all of the 18 souls who trained this morning, and well done to you!

We have, as yet, heard nothing from the Leinster Branch about the first round game against Newpark on Wednesday. We have no idea - yet - when this game will be played. Keep checking this blog: it will be updated as soon as we hear.

We will NOT train on Monday coming, 11/01/10, but we will, on Monday, let you know when the next training session will be: either Tuesday or Wednesday, before returning to school on Thursday.

As with today's session - if you cannot get to training, DON'T WORRY. If you cannot safely get to school, DO NOT TRAVEL.

CP

Training Saturday 09/01/10

Thanks,

CP
