Strabane Sigersons GAA hosted their annual Gerry Kelly Under 8 Memorial Blitz last Saturday morning with over 100 children taking part this year. The standard of football from the ten participating teams was of a very high calibre with every match keenly contested. Each and every player was out to show off their skills in the hope of getting one of the coveted places on the All-Star team of the tournament.
No scores were kept, no team was victorious nor suffered defeat the blitz was just a celebration of football and for me Go-Games football at its best. The games finished off with the selection of the Gerry Kelly Memorial All-Star Team. Gerry's wife Peggy alongside Sigersons Club President John McCrory and Club vice-president Tom Brown presented the awards to the boys who included Strabane players Sean Rouse, Hayden Williamson, Kelvin Diver and Cathal Tinney.
Running underage teams and blitzes such as these wouldn't be possible without the dedicated volunteers and supportive parents. Thank you to all the referees Liam, Aiden, Aran, Dean and Alex and thank you to our blitz coordinator Aoife and Niambh and to the outstanding group of coaches and players we have at U8s. Thanks to Simon, Sorcha, Grainnie, Cookie, Aran and all the parents for their support at the blitz and at training all year.
Thanks also to the Kelly family who are a very supportive to the Club and a GAA family to the core. Gerry was a stalwart of Strabane Sigersons club in the early years. An honorary vice-president of the Club until his sad passing. He was influential in the construction of the club grounds and always championed for youth to be given a chance. His family have carried on in his footsteps and take an active part in the youth set up at Sigersons with several of his grandchildren now playing on the pitches that Gerry and the founding members of Sigersons had the foresight to invest in. Once again thanks to everyone who participated and helped out both at the blitz and with the Sigersons Under 8 team this season. You're helping to build on the Sigersons legacy started by Gerry Kelly and many others.
