Subsidised hurleys, helmets and footballs will be available to order through the school for the next two weeks. Order forms will be sent home with the children.
The helmets are good value at €45. which is about half the recommended retail price.
For those wishing to order hurleys but who are unsure of sizes here is how to choose the correct size.
1. The child stands naturally and relaxed with their hands down by their sides.
2. The the top of the hurley should come up to the child's wrist.
3. The child should be able to hold the hurley at the top and the hurley should be just touching the ground.
4. If the child is between sizes it is better to have the hurley too small than too big.
5. If the child can use the hurley like a sword then it is the correct weight.
