Paddy Golden U10 Boys and Girls Annual Blitz 2025

One of the highlights of the club calendar took place on Saturday June 14th as we hosted the 19th Annual Paddy Golden Blitz. 

This much enjoyed event once again brought together under 10 boys and girls from Burrishoole, Westport, Carnacon, Tourmakeady, Louisburgh, Islandeady, Achill, Parke, and Kilmeena for a fantastic day of sport, camaraderie, and fun.

The success of the day was made possible by the tremendous effort of so many.

Thank you to the organising committee, those who set up the pitches, the car park attendants, the referees who kindly volunteered their time, and the pitch co-ordinators who ensured all games ran off smoothly.

Special thanks to the ladies who baked and served teas and coffees adding a warm and welcoming touch to the day.

We are especially grateful to our first aid volunteer on the day who gave his time and expertise to help out when the need arose.

Thanks to all the coaches and parents for their support and encouragement throughout the day.

The weather was on our side, with glorious sunshine shining down as the players were presented with their medals by members of the Golden family, to whom we are very grateful for their continued support of the club and this wonderful event year after year.

A huge thank you to Martin McIntyre who perfectly captured the spirit of the day with his photography.

Looking forward to the 20th Annual Paddy Golden Blitz in 2026.
