Amhrán na bhFiann Amhrán na bhFiann is sung today by AOIFE PARLE from the Naomh Eanna Club in Gorey. She is the current PRO for the club and is involved in their Junior Camogie Team and The Mini Academy, where she loves working with the future stars of the club. Her father Louis and brothers William and Gearoid are involved in today's County Final and her grandfather Myles is President of the club. Other than GAA her passion is singing. She raised over €15,000 for Temple Street when her song 'Silver Lining' reached no 5 in the Irish Charts alongside fellow club member Aisling O'Dwyer in 2016. This is her 3rd time to sing the anthem in Chadwicks Wexford Park and she is looking forward to stepping out on to the playing surface one more time. Aoife Parle She would like to congratulate both teams on reaching the final and is looking forward to a great game of hurling.
