Congratulations to us all in St Thomas National School, Peterswell who were announced as the overall winners of Supermac’s training session with Ger Loughnane.
Supermac’s, in association with the Galway Senior Hurling Team and Cooper, launched an in-store competition last June for all young budding GAA teams. The prize was an intensive training session with Ger Loughnane and a selection of the Galway Hurlers plus €1000 worth of Cooper training equipment.
For John Massey,a 5th Class pupil of St Thomas NS and his class mates, their GAA dreams came true, when they were announced as the overall winners last week. Team member, John Massey wrote the winning entry, stating that “I never leave my hurl down and my dream is to one day wear the maroon and white jersey”. Mrs. Kathleen Forde, teacher and trainer at St Thomas National School could hardly contain the team's excitement before the training session, which she believes is the highlight of their summer holidays.
Ger Loughnane and a selection of the Galway Hurlers gave an intense training session explaining different techniques which finished with a friendly match (1:1). They also had the opportunity to watch the Galway Hurlers train for their forthcoming matches.
There was a phenomenal amount of entries to win this once in a lifetime opportunity and John's Class mates would like to thank him for their very enjoyable Day.
