The Primary Schools Futsal Blitz was held on Friday last, 4 December in Aughrim Street Sports Hall:

The event was a joint effort between FAI Community Development Officers Ian Hill & Christy Lougheed, representing the North West Inner City and North East Inner City areas:

Each school entered two teams into the competition with a total of 8 teams taking part:

The schools were representing St: Gabriel’s School, D7 Educate Together, Rutland Street and St: Joseph’s East Wall:

St Gabriel’s played D7 Educate Together in a closely contested Final, running out 3/1 winners:

The blitz was played in a very sporting manner with 150 pupils taking part either playing or supporting their school on the day:

Many thanks must go to all involved including teachers, pupils, referee Darren Proudfoot and Dublin City Council for the use of Aughrim Street Sports Hall:

Congratulations must go to St Gabriel’s School who proudly took the trophy back to their school on Cowper Street:
