Down GAA are holding an Open Night at Pairc Esler this Friday the 10th of May
It's your chance to meet the players ahead of the upcoming Ulster Championship. The event takes place in Pairc Esler from 7.30pm to 9.00pm.
Down supporters Young and Old will have the opportunity to meet with players; there will be plenty of photo opportunities in what we hope will be a very informal gathering of the Down GAA family.
The organisers are encouraging Clubs to bring along their underage players as on the night we will have various activities for young aspiring Down players to participate in. This is a great opportunity for an Under 10 or Under 12 team to participate in an on field session with many of the Down players, to pit their skills against the County players. There will be Coaching stations in place around the pitch in Pairc Esler where the County players will be demonstrating the finest skills of the game.
Are you up to the Challenge?
Can you outfield Kalum King or Dan Gordan, Can you block the ball better than Aidan Carr, Can you solo the ball as good as Mark Poland, Can you kick off your left and right foot like Donal O Hare, Can you beat Brendan McVeigh or Michael Cunningham from the Penalty Spot, Can you take a penalty like Kevin McKernan, Can you get past Benny McArdle or Dan McCartan as they defend their goals, Can you dispossess Benny Coulter as he heads for Goal?
So many questions but to find out the answers come along and give some of the challenges a go.
These are just some of the opportunities you will have if you come along to Pairc Esler on Friday 10th May- gates open at 7.15pm. There will be GAA Promotional material available on the night for all participants and special Down GAA Prizes to be won.
Put the date in your Diary Friday 10th May Pairc Esler be there and show your support for the boys in Red and Black
