🏆 March Team Skills Challenge
We had a great start to our Monthly Skills Competition in February. It was great to see our fellow club members completing their challenges, and see each others faces, albeit virtual, again.
Claire Lane showed us all how to multitask , Liam Bonner showed off his chugging skills, and Nick Wilson showed what he really thinks of Gaelic Football 😂
February’s Winners
Congrats to Hope Plumbing who won the first round of the hurling team challenge and Bier Brewery who took the win for football.
This Month’s Challenge
Our hurling challenge involves 30 seconds to see how many times can you execute the roll lift pick-up and our Gaelic football challenge is to see how many solos & overhead catches that you can make in the same period of time.
In the spirit of Women’s History Month check out the videos below by multiple All-Ireland Senior Champions Mags D’Arcy (Camogie) and Sinéad Finnegan (Gaelic Football):
The Prizes
A $10 voucher for one of the club’s sponsors for all participating members of the winning team. In addition, all participating members of the team with the most participants will be entered into a draw where one team member will win a $10 voucher!
Further Guidance
Please video and upload the recording to our Slack channels in the channel #monthlychallenges and on social media. Please remember to mention your team and sponsor at some point in the recording and extra credit if you tag them too.
Don’t forget to enter your score here, or get someone on your team to do it for you, onto the Google Sheet linked below. THIS IS VERY A IMPORTANT STEP to ensure we can accurately tally the winners!
The March challenge will end on the 31st, and a new challenge will then be launched for April, hopefully bringing us one month closer to being back on the pitch again!
This is a great oppurtunity for us all to practice our skills, stay connected and have some fun until we return to play . I hope you all enjoy the challenge, and best of luck to everyone!

Friday Night Craic with a GAA Legend – June 14, 2019
We are proud to introduce Éamonn Ryan, legendary Cork player and coach, as the Games Development Ambassador for this year’s Indy Invitational. Éamonn played senior inter-county Gaelic football for Cork from 1963 to 1968.
That Cork team played in an All-Ireland Final in 1967. He played hurling with his local club Watergrasshill, winning East Cork junior A and Cork County junior A titles with the club in 1974. Ryan later served as manager of both the Cork senior men’s and Cork senior ladies’ football teams.
He coached the Cork ladies to 10 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship matches from 2005 to 2015 – and won all of them. He is one of the most successful GAA managers of all time.
