Calling All Hurling Dads & Lads!

March 13, 2025 396 Views

St. Brigid’s GAA are looking for interested Dads & Lads to join a hurling group for those keen to enjoy Gaelic Games outside the traditional competitive structures of the GAA.

With an emphasis on the social interaction and enjoyment that only team sports can provide, GAA for Dads & Lads is about keeping fun and participation to the fore of hurling.


Aimed at males age 40ish and older (but all ages welcome) regardless of experience the games allow incidental contact only (to minimise risk of injury) so skills are to the fore over physicality.

So regardless of whether you are a retired great, a lapsed player looking to reconnect with the game you once loved, or completely new to Gaelic Games and looking to try your hand at a bit of hurling, GAA for Dads & Lads could be for you.


St Brigid’s took part in a Dad’s and Lad’s Hurling blitz in the GAA National Games Development Centre at Abbottstown last year with many other teams across the country and was a brilliant occasion for all involved.


With the Spring/Summer coming up it’s a great time of the year to puck a ball around and get involved in some social hurling.

We have 30+ players signed up already so if you are interested to find out more about this group, please text:

Participation in GAA Dads & Lads is not covered by the GAA Injury Benefit Fund. Risk is an inherent factor in sport, as in life. When members voluntarily take part in Club activities particularly playing activities in contact sports, they accept the risks that such participation may bring. Each player needs to ensure that they have adequate cover in place to meet their own individual needs and personal circumstances in the event of accidental injury.
