GALTEE GAELS GAA KELLOGG’S CÚL CAMP

The Galtee Gaels 2021 Cúl Camp opened on Monday morning at O’Mahony Park. The organisati­on was superb as Martin Casey and his team of volunteers ensured a smooth and seamless introducti­on with participan­ts arriving from well before the starting time. The camp was up and running minutes after 10am. The online booking and the direct delivery of kits eased the task of camp co-ordinator Eric Kelly considerab­ly.

A team of fourteen coaches, under James Ryan, Games Developmen­t Administra­tor with Limerick GAA, had their one hundred and twenty plus attendance settled in no time favoured by very pleasant weather conditions. All are looking forward to a very enjoyable week.

UNDER ELEVEN TEAM

The Galtee Gaels under eleven team participat­ed in a blitz on last Tuesday evening. In a typically damp Galbally evening fourteen girls and boys were mustered to take on the might of Galbally and Garryspill­ane. Each player got full game time in numerous positions in the two seven a side games played in damp under foot conditions.

Many thanks to the five girls, Saoirse, Miah, Ciara and the two Aoifes for playing so well. Its nice to see some new faces making it into the under eleven scene like Hugh Cunningham, Jack Geary and Joshua Fletcher.

Team: William Lonergan, Conall Ryan, Joshua Fletcher, Hughie Cunningham, Noel Cronin, Aoife Casey, Mossy English, Ciara Maher, Saoirse Clifford, Jack Walsh, Aoife Noonan, Miah Cleary, Conall Ryan and Colm O’Mahony.

YOUR FAVOURITE PLAYER?

Tell us who your favourite county player is and you could win some cool kit and a chance to chat to your hero! RTÉjr have teamed up with the Gaelic Players Associatio­n to hook you up with this championsh­ip prize.

We are asking young fans to tell us who their favourite male or female player is and why. This means that we have two prizes - one with a Gaelic footballer/hurler and another one with a LGFA/camogie star.

You just need to pick one and send in a short video telling us why that legend is your number one and you could win a signed replica jersey, some of their actual kit and a video call for some one on one advice.
