A Special Weekend for Our Club
This weekend we mark 40 years since our clubhouse first opened its doors.
Think of the thousands of people who have passed through those doors since then. Players heading out to play for the club, children coming in with their parents who would later pull on the jersey themselves, teams celebrating great days, friends meeting for a chat, and generations of volunteers quietly doing what they have always done to keep the club going.
There have been great days and difficult days, plenty of laughter, probably a few tears, and more stories and memories than any of us could ever count. But above all, there have been people.
We should never forget those who, 40 years ago, had the vision and determination to provide a home for our club. What they helped create became part of the lives of generations who followed.
This weekend is about celebrating that legacy and remembering those who started the journey, especially those who are sadly no longer with us.
Buildings change over time, but the friendships, memories and sense of belonging created within them are what really last.
Happy 40th anniversary to our clubhouse and to everyone who has called it home over the past four decades.
Our Munster Journey Begins
Another special day awaits our hurlers this Sunday as our Premier Intermediate County Champions head to Clonmel to begin their Munster journey against St Mary’s at 1.15pm.
After everything this group has achieved together, it is fantastic to see them getting the opportunity to represent our club and Cork on the Munster stage. To the players, management and everyone involved, enjoy every moment and give it everything, as you always do. You have made us incredibly proud already and the whole of Ballincollig is right behind you.
Let’s travel in numbers and give the lads the support they deserve.
Best of luck, lads. One more journey, together. Ballincollig Abú!
Le meas

Executive Chairman, Ballincollig GAA Club
Since the county final, many people have asked how they can donate to the club in recognition of the team’s success. This fundraiser lets anyone who wants to support the club do so at this exciting moment.
Why we’re raising funds: Success and costs go hand in hand. It’s expensive to run a club, and we have been on the go since the start of the year. Thankfully we’re not finished yet — we now look ahead to a Munster Club Championship campaign, starting with QF on Sun Nov 1st in Clonmel (v St Mary’s).

Congratulations to Ballincollig’s LGFA Cork U14, U16 and Minor players, who were presented with their medals on Saturday night in The Rochestown Park Hotel.
What a great day at Ballincollig GAA Club for Marymount Hospice coffee morning last week — this event raised €6,300 for Marymount Hospice.
A huge thank you to Bernice Kavanagh and the fantastic gang at Ballincollig GAA for hosting their coffee morning in Ballincollig as part of Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Marymount.
Bernice and team have been incredible supporters of Marymount year after year, and we cannot thank them enough for their continued generosity, dedication and kindness. It means so much to have people who keep coming back to support us and the residents and their families. — Marymount University Hospice
The GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association are delighted to share that we will be bringing a Concussion Education Event to Munster.

This interactive education session is free of charge to all Gaelic Games volunteers and follows on from the updated ‘Concussion Management Guidelines for Gaelic Games’ document published in 2025.
