The GAA Cúl Camps will run again at Ballymac GAA club this coming summer from Monday Aug 1st to Fri Aug 5th and we are encouraging all juveniles aged between 6 and 14 years of age to sign up to the Cúl Camps. After very successful football camps over the past two years, we are hoping that as many youngsters as possible will attend again this year. You can register on line at www.gaa.ie or you can complete an application form and send it with the appropriate fee to County Co-ordinator, Dónal Daly at Austin Stacks Park, Tralee.

It was great to see a hugeturn out at training over the two nights during the weekend, considering that some members of the team have exam commitments at the moment. This preparation and commitment augurs well for the forthcoming County League which is due to begin on Wednesday June 29th and the management wish to acknowledge the sacrifices that all players are making in preparation for the campaign. Team mentors will notify each player via text re. training times and venues over the next few days.
