Our under 12 hurlers played Skibbereen last Sunday morning at home in Kealkill in glorious sunshine.

Great hurling played by both sides in a very close contested game. Thanks to Skibb for a great game, all the supporters 👏🏻 and referee Peter O Leary for reffing ⚫️🟠🌞

Update on U14 team:

1. St Colum's were at home on Sunday 16th August and welcomed Ahan Gaels for an 11am throw-in in the Fe14 Division 2 Hurling League. Those who came out to watch were treated to a great game of competitive hurling, and a real showing of determination from our U14 boys. The hard work these lads have been putting into their hurling skills and ball work came through clearly on the day, with a strong team performance from start to finish. Every ball was contested and the work rate from 1 to 15 was immense.

The high fielding the boys have been working on is starting to come good too, with plenty of strong challenges won in the air. It all added up to a fine display and a well-earned result.
Final score: St Colum's 5-8 vs Ahan Gaels 2-10. Thanks to Ahan Gaels for a great competitive game, and to everyone who came along to support the lads.

2. The St Colum's U14 boys were then at home on Friday night, 21st August for the Division 2 Hurling Championship clash with St. James.

St. James were the quickest to settle after the throw-in and made a strong start, but that never dented our lads' appetite for the game. They battled hard through both halves and kept fighting right to the final whistle in what was a competitive contest and a fine display of hurling from both sides.

While the result didn't go our way, there was plenty to take from it - our young lads matched St. James goal for goal, with St. James pulling clear through their points.

Final score: St Colum's 5-5 vs St. James 5-17. Not one of the lads let the side down, and the way they played for each other and for the club said everything about this group.

Standout performances on the night came from Eoin O'Donoghue, Finbarr O'Shea and Nathan Meaney.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the lads.

It wasn't to be this time, but the dedication and team spirit were there for all to see, and we're proud of every one of them ⚫️🟠

There are some days in childhood that stay with you forever.

The days filled with muddy boots, tired legs, big laughs, new friendships, games that seem to go on forever… and the feeling that you never want the day to end.

Cúl Camp 2026 was one of those weeks. ⚫️🟠

What a week of fun, games, laughter and friendship! Over 250 children came together at St. Colum’s - club members, cousins who return year after year, children visiting the area and new faces discovering our club for the first time.

A HUGE thank you to the incredible people who gave their time, energy and support to make Cúl Camp 2026 such a success:

🩺 Heather O’Sullivan & Eileen Keane, our nurses, and Trish Cremin, our First Aider, who gave up their time to be onsite throughout the week. Our parking stewards, our fantastic sponsors, SuperValu and Timmy Murphy Butcher, for their generous support and supplies for the barbecue, Bantry Fire Brigade, for taking the time to visit and make the week extra special, Garda John & Buddy - thank you for coming along and joining in the fun, Cork star Libby Coppinger for visiting, to everyone who lent equipment and helped us with everything we needed throughout the week.

And a very special thank you to the numerous volunteers who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes since March to plan, prepare and coordinate the camp. So much work happens long before the children arrive, and your commitment is hugely appreciated.

And finally, to every volunteer coach, assistant coach and everyone who helped in any way throughout the week - your help was invaluable. You gave your time so generously, created memories, encouraged every child and helped make the week what it was.

Because one day, these children will be grown up. They might not remember every score or every game… but they'll remember the laughter. The friendships. The sunshine. The feeling of belonging.

These really are the best days of childhood. ❤️

Thank you all for being part of Cúl Camp 2026!

Today, on our last day of Cúl Camp at St. Colum’s GAA Club we came together to clap in support of local girl Emma O’Shea and all those living with Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA).

We are proud to stand behind the campaign calling for access to Skyclarys, a treatment that could make a real difference to the lives of people living with this condition.

Sometimes the simplest gesture can send the strongest message.

So today, we clap for Emma, for every person and for every family affected by FA.

We clap for hope, action and access to the treatment they deserve. ❤️

We're calling on GAA and sport clubs everywhere to join us! 🏐⚽️🏀

Record your own Clap for Friedrich's Ataxia video, share it, tag Ataxia Foundation Ireland and other clubs to help keep the campaign going!
