A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors Sherry FitzGerald Mortgages for their continued support of our Mini All Irelands.

This is now the third year of their generous sponsorship and their backing helps make this incredible event possible for hundreds of children across our club community.

What a week it has been so far — three fantastic days of football and hurling, brilliant weather, huge crowds, great fun and even better memories being made. Thursday brings the final day of action and we are looking forward to finishing the week in style.

The Mini All Irelands is the best week of the club calendar each year and it would not be possible without the support of sponsors like Sherry FitzGerald Mortgages.

Thank you again for being part of something so special for our young players and families.

What a fantastic start to our Mini All Irelands last night!

Over the next 3 days we will welcome more than 500 children taking part in a brilliant festival of football and hurling across the club. The sunshine, smiles and energy around the grounds made for a very special opening night.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers, coaches and parents who help make events like this possible, and to our sponsors Sherry Fitzgerald Mortgages for their fantastic support.

With the BBQ fired up, ice creams flowing and plenty of goodies handed out, it was a night enjoyed by everyone involved 🍔🍦👏

Looking forward to another two great days of games and fun in Naomh Olaf!

Just over a year since the completion of our Skills Wall, the benefits are already shining through across the juvenile section 💙💜

🏆 The 2013 girls completed a clean sweep of Camogie Divisions 1, 8 & 12
⬆️ The 2012 boys earned promotion to Division 1
🔥 The 2010 girls continue to compete at the top end of Division 1
👏 The 2013 boys are once again challenging at the top of Division 1

The common factor? Hard work and hundreds of extra touches on the Skills Wall every week. Those strikes, catches and reactions all add up over time and make the difference on the pitch.

Barry Cull of the 2013 girls said:
“Every strike and catch in practice tips the scales in your favour. Over time, it makes a massive difference.”

Louisa Colbert of the 2010 girls added:
“The Skills Wall has become a hugely valuable part of player development, helping improve confidence, consistency and encouraging extra practice outside team sessions.”

Huge credit to all our players, coaches and volunteers for the incredible work being done right across the club 💙💜
