There has been a phenomenal growth in the  participation of Ladies Gaelic Football .This  is an excellent example of progress, as indeed is the increase in the standard of ladies football .  Our Club has a thriving ladies’ section that is constantly growing and improving in quality and competitiveness. Off the field of play our volunteers are busy working behind the scenes to drive on our fantastic ladies club.

The dreaded Covid-19 HAD brought club games and  activities to a halt at one stage and delivered many challenges to all clubs and communities. We think that because of this our team spirit has never been higher and more girls are taking up football. And always remember that success is not measured in medals, it is measured in the number of players who line out for an adult team!!

New players are always very welcome to join our friendly club. Our club covers a wide area and current players live in many different parts.
If you would like to join our fun training sessions please do not hesitate to contact Shirley (086) 8713552.

Juvenile Notes

Pat Healy Park was the place to be on Sunday morning as our first training session of the season kicked off.

We welcomed close to 150 children onto our pitches along with their parents/guardians. Our Juvenile Chairperson Rob Lacey and our wonderful coaches were set up and ready to go ensuring the children got the most out of their training session as well as having fun.  It was lovely to see so many children in action learning skills and having fun with their coaches and team mates. Huge thank you to everyone who made it such a success.

Also a very big thank you to Declan Quill who ran a coaching course over two days last week for all our coaches giving them the necessary coaching qualification. Thank you to our dedicated coaches for attending also.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back next Sunday and new comers always welcome, if you have any queries please contact us on 086 3741301 or email: info@kerinsorahillys.com.  Don’t  forget to follow us on social media platforms for news and regular updates about our club.  Special word of thanks again to our 2022 main sponsor Ballyseedy Garden Centre .
