G.A.A. Skills Competition 2017
On Thursday 11th May, Michael and I went to Cloghan Football Grounds to play in the Fourth Class Shills Competition. We arrived at 11am. After we got ready we helped by getting all the footballs that were kicked over the bar.
Then it was our turn to do the skills. We had to solo with our right foot and then with our left. Next we had to solo around the cones with each foot and finish by fisting the ball over the bar. Following that we had to punt kick the ball with each foot through two poles 2 metres apart. Then we had to kick the ball over the bar with each foot from a distance of 20 metres. Finally we had to take ten shots over the bar with each foot.
I really enjoyed going to Cloghan. It was great fun.
