An Riocht will be holding our annual U10 Gaelic Football 11-a-side tournament for the Jim Mulholland Memorial Cup & Shield on Saturday 2^nd August at our grounds at 10 Dunavil Road Kilkeel County Down.

This year we are able to have two additional pitches on our new ground next to the main pitch which will allow us six pitches in total facilitating thirty teams in six groups of five teams. The first games throw-in at 10-30am with the Finals taking place at 3.30pm. Each team is guaranteed four group games plus a minimum of one knockout game. Groups will be drawn up to give players the opportunity to play teams they would not normally meet.

All players should be under eight years of age on 1^st January 2008. Teams are 11-a-side with unlimited substitutions. All games seven minutes a half. An effort should be made to pick the ball off the ground. Players will be penalised for running too far with the ball in their hands (maximum one toe tap and one bounce or two toe taps). All frees and kick outs from the hands. No fifties. The referees will be young players and will use common sense to keep play flowing. The emphasis will be on enjoyment and playing against new teams. Every player will receive an identical medal & ribbon. Abuse of referees or officials will result in automatic expulsion.

Entry fee is £30. Juice & crisps will be provided for players & teas and sandwiches for team mentors. There will also be a shop and burger bar available.
