Dear fellow Members, Players, Parents, and Supporters,
Championship Best Wishes
Best of luck to all our Ballincollig GAA, Camogie and LGFA teams in championship action during the week ahead.
Back to School from Ballincollig GAA Club 🟢⚪
As schools reopen their doors, we'd like to wish all the boys and girls of Ballincollig GAA Club the very best as they head back to the classroom.
We hope you've all had a great summer and are ready for another year of learning, making memories and having plenty of fun along the way. Whether you're starting a new school, moving up a class, or meeting new friends, we hope the year ahead is a happy and successful one for you.
Remember to work hard, enjoy the journey, and keep making us proud both in school and out on the pitch.
Best of luck also to all the teachers, school staff and parents as another school year gets underway.
Have a brilliant year everyone, and we'll see you at training! 💚🤍
From all at Ballincollig GAA Club
Le meas,
Tom Dorgan
Chairman, Ballincollig GAA Club

Fergus Farrell is walking across America — 6 million steps — to raise funds for Spinal Injuries Ireland, and here at home we want to show him our support. That's why we have organised community walks around the country during the 3 months Fergus is walking across America.
The first one starts in Ballincollig at 2pm on Saturday September 5th. We encourage as many people to register and spread the word — enjoy the walk for a very good cause. Each walk is 4.5km in length and is suitable for all levels of ability!
