On Saturday, 27th September, proudly took part in the Cork Sports Partnership event – promoting fitness, activity, and of course, the great game of the GAA proudly represented by our inclusive club and members on the day!

Our men’s team lined out against Glenville last week. While the result didn’t go our way, the lads showed great determination, learned valuable lessons, and continue to grow stronger in our first year competing. Above all, it’s about being part of an inclusive, supportive club - and the friendships being made along the way 💪

On the 27th September our NLA girls also joined forces with Rathpeacon GAA Club for a fantastic Blitz. Huge credit to our players who gave it their all – a brilliant day of football, fun, and team spirit! 🏐

Don’t forget – weekly training continues every Wednesday and Saturday! New members are always welcome. Whether you’re here to play, get fit, or simply meet new people, Na Laochra Aeracha is the club for you - new members always welcome 👋🏼

Beautiful evening at football training yesterday in MTU. Coach had us practise some new drills for the first time which were not only fun, but will also help us play more stratigically in competitive matches 👏🏐

Afterwards a gang of us spoiled ourselves to some R&R at which went down a treat 🫠🔥

Massive thanks to over the past couple of months for letting us use their facilities for training each week and playing a few matches. Much appreciated! 🙏
