St. Colmcilles will be hosting an End of Year Presentation Event for our Youth teams.

2017 has been a fantastic year for all our youth teams and we want to get everyone together to celebrate and recognise these achievements and the hard work that all of our young players, as well as their parents and coaches, have put in all season.

There will be a Gaelic Football Blitz for the Under 8s & Under 10s starting at 2.30pm.

This will be followed by the presentation of awards for all Youth teams including medals and certificates. There will also be food and drink and some music in the Irish Club.

2017 St Albans City & District Sports Awards Ceremony

It was an amazing night for St Colmcilles GAC at the 2017 Active St Albans City & District Sports Awards Ceremony last night.

In 2016, the club won the Community Project of the Year Award for the Gaelic 4 Girls initiative which started our Under 14s Girls team and this time we had received 4 nominations for this year’s awards.

Neil Gallagher was nominated for Male Coach of the Year for his work with the Under 12s team and the Under 14s and 16s girls’ teams.

Both the men’s and ladies’ senior teams were each nominated for the Sports Team of the Year Award and St. Colmcilles, as a whole, was nominated for the Community Club of the Year Award.

The club won the Community Club of the Year Award and received Recognition Awards for the other nominations.

This is a fantastic achievement and something that we all, as players, coaches, members, parents and supporters, should be very proud of. Thank you to everyone who makes our club great. Well done all!!

St. Colmcilles G.A.C. – 2017 Cúl Camp

 

Day 3 of the St. Colmcilles Cúl Camp was great fun once again with everyone enjoying the day as the camp drew to a close for 2017. Well done to all the kids who took part in the camp and made it the great success that it was.

The club have to say a massive ‘Thank you’ to all coaches from both the men’s and the ladies’ senior teams who helped out over the 3 days. John O’Dowd, Daithi Breen, Odhrán Gallagher, Thomas Patrick Kieran Maloney, Bob Canty, Kevin Devlin and especially Naomh Ní Mhongáin were fantastic in running the Cúl Camp, ensuring that all the kids had a great time and got the most from the 3 days. Also a big ‘thank you’ to Rory Norris and Naomh for organising the camp and making sure it was a brilliant success.

There are still a few more weeks left in the underage season with Wednesday trainings at the club, a few blitz competitions and finishing with the St. Colmcilles Blitz and the Underage Presentation Evening on the 30th September at the St Albans Irish Club – Official. More information to come on this evening soon.

 

The dates have been set for this year’s St. Colmcilles Cúl Camps. This is a great opportunity for young kids to experience Gaelic Games, whether they are regular players or are taking part for the first time. It is a great chance to meet new people while taking part in three days of action packed activities with qualified coaches and learning or improving new skills.
