Dogs on club
grounds
The
club executive would like to remind members that no dogs are allowed
on the club grounds. This arises from the health threats associated
with dog faeces, particularly in areas where young children play. Toxocariasis
is a disease caused by roundworm eggs found in dog faeces that may potentially
result in eye problems or blindness, and children are particularly at
risk. Accordingly, members are reminded that they should not bring dogs
on to the club’s grounds.
GARRYCASTLE
LADIES GAA CLUB
A Brief History
In 1995 three Garrycastle enthusiasts namely Gerry O’Neill, Michael
McCormack and Bernie Duignan established the Ladies section of the Garrycastle
Club to cater for the growing interest in the sport in the area. They
brought on board a number of others to help launch the team and then
going house to house they gathered together sufficient numbers to start
a junior team and enter the 1996 junior championship. From there interest
spread rapidly and the club now boasts a wide membership and caters
for players from under 10 through to Senior. In 2003 the club won their
first senior title and in 2010 reached a major milestone of 3 in a row.
Alongside this the club has won many underage titles along the way including
back to back All Ireland Féile titles in 2003 and 2004.
