Last Saturday, 175 children attended Centra’s family community event in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, where Centra brought together some of the Brightest Stars in hurling, Limerick’s Declan Hannon and Shane Dowling and Cork legend Seán Óg Ó hAilpín. The heroes of the game were on hand to give young aspiring hurlers from Limerick clubs the chance to showcase their hurling skills.
Girls and boys from all over the county turned out in their droves to take part in the very special hurling skills session and learn from some of the best in the game. As well the skills session the children got to enjoy a great family day out that brought the whole community together with a host of entertainment on the day including face painting, a hurling simulator, music and goodie bags.
