The thrill of running out in front of your mum & dad is every young juvenile GAA player's dream, running out to take part in your seasonable debut at U6's with your new jerseys is another. Last month seen our U6's which is led by Adrian Mulholland & his wonderfull team of mentors make their debuts in their recent Go Games friendly.

With the vist of St.Marys Donore U6's the kids played two games. This is the first of what will be many games for these young starlets and to get the taste of playing against opposition teams been able to get precious first-hand experience of being a GAA star on the biggest stage to the support of their own supporters while showcasing their skills. It's an opportunity for both clubs not just St.Patricks Gaa but also the opposition to show all parents the work being done at grass roots level within clubs to promote and develop our games and also a chance for these children to be 'bitten by the bug' by providing them with a chance to experience just what it's like to play hopefully one day on the biggest stage of all.

The buzz and excitement of being part of the inaugural U6's games will provide memories that will last a lifetime and hopefully with the feedback from the parents and children involved shows just what a special occasion it is for those. The children's partiscipation with the shared thrill of living out the dream of being able to grace the same field as the senior stars of today. And whether in their minds if they won or lost on the day they all leave with the same dream too - to one day make it & come the ranks of St.Patricks Gaa & as a senior inter county hero too. However one should not forget the ethos set in place at this level should be "playing to learn".

Prior to the games Adrian Mulholland & his teams of mentors gave out the new jerseys for the U6's. Well done to all the children who made their debuts against St.Mary's of Donore, to the great management team and mentors for their continuous tuition and to the parents for the wonderfull support towards both teams. With the presentation of Medals for both teams when the games were completed followed by refreshments for all adults & children.
