Our U8’s travelled to Croke Park on the 15th of July to play Rathdowney Errill in a Go Games challenge. A panel of 17 travelled, along with family members via Ronan Brothers Coaches. Upon arrival in Croke Park, the team were privileged to tog out and see the Croke Park dressing rooms before running on to the sacred turf.
