Nutty Krust Time arrives again in South Derry!
The second year of the Nutty Krust IFA Soccer Fun week programme kicked off in style this week in Draperstown. A strong turnout from the budding footballers of Draperstown made sure that the first summer fun week was a success. And to make things even better, the weather held up too!!
The week entailed a mix of high quality coaching from UEFA B Licence coaches as well as many fun activities which challenged and developed the skills of the children. Also, Alan Snoddy, Refereeing Co-ordinator for the Irish FA dropped in to deliver a fun session on refereeing!
On the final day, Northern Ireland internationals and Umbro sponsored players Peter Thompson and Michael Gault dropped in to join in the fun. After they had joined in some of the matches and 
answered a few questions they presented everyone with their umbro packs as well as the prize winners from throughout the week. The Umbro player of the week award was a difficult decision but all the coaches agreed that Cahir McEldowney was the deserving winner.
Summing up the week GDO Niall Curneen said “What a great week we have had at Cahore Road. Unlike last year, the weather was super and we got lots of playing time! The kids enjoyed the whole week – especially the inflatable pitch on the final day!! Thanks to my coaches Ruairi McClean and Reuben Smith for their help and also to Peter Thompson and Michael Gault for coming up on the final day. The whole week has been enjoyable from start to finish and already I’m looking forward to Magherafelt. Also, thanks to Nutty Krust for the goodie-bags that they provided for everyone.”
