  • Cork GAA Hurling and Football Draft Discussion Document for the Attention of All Club Members
    “We’ve only just begun. Together.” Cork GAA Hurling and Football Draft Discussion Document For the attention of all Club members Draft 1 July 12th, 2016 Kevin O’Donovan, County Coaching Officer, Email: [email protected] Phone: 086-7753567 Introduction – Ideas For Your Consideration… With much discussion regarding the plight of Gaelic Games in Cork recently, there is little doubt that an urgent need for significant improvement at all levels in Cork GAA now prevails. While the extent of our decline will continue to be perused until we grace Croke Park again, it is appropriate to first shift the discussion towards the broader landscape…. What do we actually seek to achieve through our involvement in the GAA? Why did we choose here, this place, to express ourselves? Do we seek to represent the best of who we are? Do our sports currently represent the best of who we are? Do we seek to implement this ‘best of us’ in a consistent and sustainable way, in order that our games are passed on to our sons and daughters so that they may taste the same small glories as we have done? What are the ideas we now require to reach this ‘best of us’? And most importantly, when did it all stop being fun? While numerous commentators have described the challenges now facing us, it is surely time to take up the gauntlet and organise our thoughts into ideas and plans so that we can be the ‘best of us’. Collective ownership. Collective responsibility. Collective action. Action at Child, Youth and Adult level.

  • GAA Club – Overview
    CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.

  • Cork GAA County Leagues 2018
    Cork GAA County Leagues 2018 Background Rebalancing the Hurling Leagues League Regulations 2018 Appendix 1. Senior Hurling League Format 2018 Background With new inter-county championship formats introduced in both football (Super 8s) and hurling (provincial group stage) for 2018, the changing inter-county scene will have a significant impact on club programmes within Cork. While the intense inter-county programme for the first half of the year (with the exception of the ‘April window’ for club fixtures) may restrict significant progression of club championships beyond round 1, it also presents an ideal opportunity to present to players a definite league programme across the spring and summer months and to finish all league programmes earlier. With this in mind, significant time has been spent in reviewing all aspects of the senior and intermediate leagues in Cork for 2018 and beyond. In line with the wishes of clubs to finish leagues earlier and play regularly throughout the summer, a complete programme of games with ratified times and dates is included. Cognisance is also taken of providing an equal number of weekends for football and hurling, as well as of the inter-county programme in terms of both league and championship and of course the club championship window in April / May. A league ‘masterplan’ is included in the table below. The following points are worth noting. • 12 league weekends are listed for both football and hurling, respectively, across 6 months, from February to July. The final round of league fixtures is on Sunday, July 29th. No league group will have more than 12 regular rounds and most will have less, therefore finishing earlier than the above date.

  • 2021 GAA MEDIA GUIDE Treoirleabhar Na Meán 2021
    2021 GAA MEDIA GUIDE Treoirleabhar na Meán 2021 @officialgaa 2021 GAA Media Guide - Teachtaireacht ón Uachtaráin Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur romhaibh go léir ar ais chuig ár gcluichí The last 14 months have come as a challenge to us all and while we have some distance to travel before we can once again look forward to big games with full stadiums, there are green shoots ahead of us. Who could have known in mid-March last year when we took the decision to shut our activities down, that the Covid challenge would still be front and centre as the summer of 2021 approaches? The best of the GAA shone as we grappled with profound changes to our lives and the supports provided by our club and county network to those who needed them most was both heartening and reassuring. Our games when they returned were a welcome tonic. The club championships and all of the activity that preceded them helped breathe life back into communities right across the GAA family. Similarly, in the darkest days of winter the inter-county games provided us with a focal point and a welcome distraction as we grew accustomed to supporting our players and teams from afar. In the coming weeks, the Allianz League games will come thick and fast and the interest and excitement will follow. We have shown flexibility in organising our competitions, most notably in football where again a straight knockout approach will apply. I would like to acknowledge the buy-in from everyone concerned in helping to make both last year and this season work, and I have no doubt that the entertainment value and profile of the games will be as high as ever.
