Belfast Festival of Gaelic Games
The Belfast Festival of Gaelic Games has been developed by the Belfast Urban Committee to provide additional games for the clubs in Belfast over the summer months at age levels not normally catered for.
The festival structure provides competition for Under 13 Boys Football, Under 13 Camogie, Under 15 Hurling and Under 15 Girls Football and it will run from June until end of August.
The first U13 Boys Football blitz took place on Saturday 19th June at St Teresa’s GAC, Belfast. The day was a great success and O’Neills sportswear attended and gave all players O’Neills baseball caps and Football boot bags. They also selected a player of the day who has been invited down to the new O’Neills store to select any GAA jersey of his choice.
Teams involved on the day were Michael Davitt’s, Naomh Og (Eire Og & St Agnes), St Teresa’s, Cardinal O’Donnell’s & Patrick Sarsfields.
Also thanks to our two young whistlers from the Ardoyne Kickhams club who did a great job.
