Poc Fada Donations...
The 2014 St Stephens Day Poc Fada raised a total of €750. The club decided to split the money raised between three charity organisations; Blarney Meals On Wheels, St Vincent de Paul, Blarney and Friends of Jamie Wall trust.
Thank you to those who that took part and contributed.
Sponsors Update...
Many thanks to Collin's Supervalu, Blarney for sponsoring four sets of water bottles, footballs and bibs for the coming season. We are delighted to accept this equipment which will be very useful over the coming months as we prepare for the 2015 season.
If your company or you know of any business that may be interested in helping our club in anyway, please do get in touch.

Membership is vital to continue to develop our club both on and off the field. Membership money raised is used to run the club (e.g. pitch & clubhouse maintenance, competition fees, insurance, etc).
Club membership is open to all in the community with various membership categories available (e.g. non playing adult, senior citizen, etc).
We encourage everyone with an interest in GAA to join.
