Lots of us played rounders as kids.. how about getting a team together to represent St Finians in mixed adult social GAA rounders??
It looks like Friday evenings at 7pm would be the weekly training slot. Give us a call if you’d like to get involved.
Also if there’s anyone with experience of GAA rounders that would like to become the team’s coach, we’d love to hear from you. ⚾️

St Finians are excited to announce the launch of a mixed adult social GAA rounders team as it’s latest healthy club initiative. Adult men & women will be needed to form a panel.

Existing club members and new members all very welcome. We are also seeking a coach to lead the team (can also be a player)

If interested in getting involved please text Healthy club officer Áine McLaughlin on 0864087431.
