  • Conahy Notes Wednesday, July 8Th, 2020
    Conahy Notes Wednesday, July 8th, 2020 GAA Conahy Shamrocks GAA remind all who visit the Polo Grounds should continue to exercise caution all at times and be mindful of appropriate social distancing and sanitation, where possible. Sanitation stations are now set up in various parts of the grounds to assist in this regard. Parents, coaches and adult players in both hurling and camogie should have completed their online health questionnaire on returntoplay.gaa.ie to reconfirm their current health status prior to each training and/or match that they or their son or daughter are involved in. CONAHY SHAMROCKS FROM THE ARCHIVES – INTERMEDIATE COUNTY CHAMPIONS 1977 After an exhaustive nine-game campaign, Conahy Shamrocks captured the Kilkenny Intermediate Hurling Championship and with it the Hanrahan Cup on November 6th, 1977. That county title success would see Conahy Shamrocks participate in the Kilkenny Senior Hurling Championship the following year for the first time in many years. Conahy Shamrocks won the Kilkenny Junior Hurling and Football Championship double in 1976 and in the early games in 1977 it appeared as if the players were still in a celebratory mood. Two early defeats to O’Loughlin Gaels and Dicksboro hinted at a short campaign in 1977, but the team’s fortunes improved in the third game when Conahy Shamrocks defeated Paulstown by nine points. The campaign really gathered momentum in early July when the team scored a decisive win over Lisdowney. Further league wins followed against Thomastown and Gowran, with Conahy securing a draw against Coon in their final league game. Following the conclusion of the league Conahy Shamrocks were drawn against Thomastown in the County Semi-Final on October 16th.

  • An Investigation Into the Marketing of the GAA Focusing Specifically on an Underage Programme, the Vhi Cul Camps.”
    “An Investigation into the Marketing of the GAA Focusing Specifically on an Underage Programme, The Vhi Cul Camps.” Submitted By: Lena Rochford A Research Dissertation in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Masters of Science in Marketing, Institute of Technology, Slmo. Department of Marketing, School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo Research Supervisor Roddy Gaynor September, 2008 Declaration “I hereby declare that this is entirely my own work, except where acknowledgements have been made and it has not been submitted as research work by any other person(s) in any other institute or university.” Signed: Date Abstract This study is concerned with the marketing of the Gaelic Athletic Association focusing specifically on an underage programme the Cul Camps. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is an amateur sporting organisation that was founded in 1884 by Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin in order to preserve and cultivate the national games. It is the largest sporting organisation in Ireland with membership exceeding 800,000 at home and abroad. It is a powerful organisation with an important social and cultural influence in Irish life. The VHL/GAA Cul Camps were established in 2006 because members of the GAA felt other camps were better marketed. They felt they could set up a brand that could be used in all 32 counties and could be marketed more effectively. The GAA teamed up with VHI to promote healthy living at a community based level and also to increase the number of young children participating in sport. Now in its third year it is estimated that there will be in the region of 81,000 participants this year and due to this demand 1,000 camps will be available around the country.
