Every Tuesday morning since the 13th of September Denis Russo comes from Birr RFC to Lusmagh NS.

He parks his car in the car park, he gets out of his car and gets the equipment he needs. He sets up the pitch and waits for the kids. By 9.30 the senior class run out of the school followed  by the middle class at 10.15,  and finally the juniors have a short session after a little break. Every Tuesday he does this routine over and over again.

He does the routine so the kids go and get training til the blitz. For the training we did dodgeball, bull-dog , last man down, some drills and training always ends with a match.

A social blitz will take place in Birr RFC (next to the swimming pool) on October 26th. If you win you get nothing as it is a social blitz but everyone gets sweets. My favourite part of the training sessions is dodgeball.

Football blitz, Roinn H

On October 5th, Lusmagh NS took part in a football blitz. The blitz was held on Coolderry pitch, we thank them for providing such a fine facilty. The weather was terrible in the morning but thankfully it cleared enough for us to play. The teams involved were Lusmagh, Coolderry, Clonlisk Clareen and Carrig. The games were played 13 aside, on two pitches, with two referees. The games were only 10 minutes aside which was nice as we had a few, one after the other.

We played Coolderry first, it was a close game but we won it in the end 2-1 to 0-1. Next we played Clonisk, which was another close encounter but again we suceeded 1-1 to 0-1. Our third game was against Clareen where we did really well and won 6-1 to 0-1. and we will be playing Carnig in the final.we play in  all the matches

As it turned out Carrig had won all of their too and we decided to leave our match until the final.

The highlight for me was the bus ride back and the sweets. we will be in a final soon against Carrig, so we must prepare and hope for the best.
