All boys and girls up the age of eleven should be in bed early Friday night next – because the Skills Academy starts back on Saturday morning. Time is 9.30am, venue is Flanagan Park, and we are expecting a huge crowd as usual. Parents are invited to stay and help out as their children learn the skills of the game in a non-competitive manner. Don’t forget your gumshields. They are compulsory this year.
