This year Munster GAA will again run their 'Super 10's' at various venues throughout the province. In total 96 clubs and 1200 players from all six counties will participate.

A novel initiative, it involves club teams from around the province entering a panel of 12 players for a 10-a-side competition on a shortened pitch (between the 2 20m lines). The games are very fast and exciting with higher scores being recorded than your typical 15-a-side game due to less defenders being on the pitch and more space being available to forwards.

This competition which is now entering its fourth year has gone from strength and is proving very popular with the young hurlers and footballers of the province . First round blitzes will take place on Saturday May 31st with the finals in Mallow GAA Complex a fortnight later on June 14th.

This is an ideal opportunity for clubs to provide their young players with a chance to develop their skills through playing games against opposition from other counties.

While the winning teams in each group will qualify for the Munster Final from the initial blitz days, the emphasis will nevertheless be on participation, fun and enjoyment. Every participating player will receive a specially designed Munster GAA Training Jersey. The overall winning club in both hurling and football will receive a set of portable juvenile goalposts.

Clubs can apply to participate by contacting their local Games Development Administrators or County Games Manager. As numbers per county are limited clubs are advised to apply early. Tweet
