Following on from last year’s success, the primary schools project has kicked off again at the Morton Stadium Santry with the visit of the Montessori Education Centre on the 4th of March. See report below from ITOWA Tutor, Eddie Fitzgerald. 
A very pleasant group of approximately twenty u12 boys and girls from the Montessori Education Centre North Great George’s street Dublin arrived at the Morton Stadium for the first juvenile Tug of War Development day of 2009. This group were very enthusiastic and quick to pick up the basic skills of the sport. It was a pleasure to work with them and I am looking forward to seeing them back for the finals of the Dublin schools this summer.
