MATCH REPORT COMPETITION

Post date: Apr 15, 2011 1:58:35 PM

For the eight school weeks that remain after the Easter Break, Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol will be running a “Reporter of the Week” competition. A special “Reporter of the Week” link has been added to our website: http://www.cumannnambunscol.tipperary.gaa.ie/. The success of this competition is very much dependant on the response we get from the children in schools. I would encourage all teachers to have writing competitions and to pick a winning entry and submit it to Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol PRO John Manley of Dualla NS at pro.cnmb.tipperary@gaa.ie. I will then attempt to pick a winning entry. The pupil’s match report will then appear in the “Reporter of the Week” section of our website and the winner’s name will also be announced on Tipp FM. The following criteria should be adhered to:

• Entry is to be typed and emailed to: pro.cnmb.tipperary@gaa.ie
• Capital Letters should be used for each name in the title.
• Font Style: Verdana Size: 10
• It must be formatted and spell checked. There must be a space after full stops and commas.
• Match Report should have a title: e.g. “O’ Sullivan The Hero In Historic Victory For TIPPERARY C.B.S. “
• Match Report should contain Score, Venue, Referee’s Name and Teamlist(s) where possible.
• Praise should be given to both teams.
• No paragraphs.
• It should be proof-read and checked for grammatical errors.
• It should be no longer than 200 words.
• Pupil’s name, school, teacher and class should accompany entry. It must be emailed by your teacher, school principal or school secretary.
