UCC STAFF GAA CLUB

POC FADA

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 3rd

12.30 – 2pm

THE MARDYKE GAA GROUNDS

The aim of the competition is simply to hit the ball as far as you can up the length of the field. It will only take a few minutes to come down and hit a few pocs. People are welcome to come down and try their hand at any stage between the times above. All equipment (hurleys and balls) will be provided.

The competition is open to all staff members (except the organising commitee!) and there will be categories run for all levels. There will be an overall category for all-comers but separate categories will also be held providing everyone with the opportunity to compete and enjoy the event.

• Hurling (male) and Camogie (female)
• National and International
• Colleges and Departments
• Absolute Beginners, Novices and Masters

For those who are unfamiliar with Hurling and would like to understand the game a quick tutorial will be provided on the basics. Further categories may be added on the day and categories between groups who wish to have their own competition can be quickly organised.

Entry to the competition is FREE. Tickets to a raffle with a first prize of Two All-Ireland Football Final Tickets will be available.

We look forward to seeing you in The Mardyke this Friday lunchtime.
