Moorefield GAA have been given the great honour of being selected as a host club for this year’s camogie and hurling Féile na Gael competition . This is a national competition for children playing in u14 grades of camogie and hurling, with teams coming from all over Ireland to compete . The Club will be representing Kildare in the competition.
This is a great opportunity for our children, our club and our town, to make unforgettable memories, forge new friendships and create better links with the wider G.A.A community.
It will only be possible for Moorefield to enter teams and host the competition if we can get enough support from the parents of the children involved, coaches, players, Managers and the wider community of club members to host the children from the other teams attending. We would appeal to everyone to at least get vetted, even if you’re not entirely sure you can be a host, as this will ensure smooth running of the rest of the process.
We need a minimum of 12 host families for the visiting Hurling and Camogie teams for the Fèile, from Friday June 5th to Sunday 7th June.
If it is a case that we will be unable to accommodate children from visiting teams, we will unfortunately be left with no choice but to withdraw from hosting duties, which in turn means withdrawing our own children from competing in the Féile na Gael competition.
