Colmcille Cúl Camp will take place at Fr. McGee Park on 30th June 2025. Cúl Camps are always in high demand, so we’re sharing the date early to help parents plan ahead. The official website will open for bookings in early April, but there’s usually a soft opening in March, so keep an eye out for early access. We’ll share more details closer to the time, but for now, mark your calendars!
Colmcille Ladies held a medal presentation night last Friday at the Hilltop Bar to celebrate their U16B, Minor B, and Gold Cup Championship winners.

Congratulations to all the players and management on their fantastic achievements!
