In beautiful conditions, CRO Jack Hanratty and CCRO to Ballymun, Michael Murray, hosted this event to enthusiastic teachers, youth workers and pupils in Trinity Comprehensive School, Ballymun.
Everyone involved were put through their paces from the start and didn’t hold back in what proved to be a successful and highly competitive day! Participants were introduced to the practical processes of coaching Tag Rugby to allow them to pass the knowledge onto the children they work closely with.
Many different ideas and approaches were shared among the group ensuring they came away from the training day with a broad range of ideas to use.
