📣 Meet Our 2025 Committee – Final Day
Last but definitely not least — our PRO, Bríd.
If you told anyone from home that Bríd would end up on a GAA committee, you’d get the same reaction every time: laughter. She was never the one chasing a sliotar or a football across a pitch. But moving abroad has a funny way of reminding you what matters — and what you want to pass on.
Born and raised in The Banner, hurling was always around the edges of life, even if she wasn’t immersed in it.
Her earliest and best GAA memory is Clare winning the All-Ireland in 1995 — that rare day when every room in the house buzzed with joy, and even the quiet ones shouted at the TV. That feeling never really left.
As she says herself, the dream for St. Cedd’s is simple:
That the club grows alongside the Irish community here in Chelmsford, and that the children discovering Gaelic games today carry this culture with them into adulthood - no matter where life takes them.
One of her favourite things?
Watching her nephew and neice - born here - support Clare with absolute conviction, and seeing them genuinely care about hurling and football. Because that’s what St. Cedd’s is already doing: giving children born in England a chance to experience something that is so deeply woven into Irish childhood.
As PRO, Bríd tells our story - not just as a sports club, but as a growing community of families, friendships, and shared roots. 💚🤍
Here’s to the beginning. The best chapters are still ahead.
