​Camogie
U8:- Thank you to St Dominic's for hosting a very well organised U-8s Camogie blitz on Thursday Evening. Despite the few drops of rain everything went to plan, thanks to every game been overseen by very astute referees, all credit to St Dominic's. The Roscommon Gaels contingent had a great turn out fielding three teams playing three games each. All players were very well behaved and gave each of the opposing teams a good challenge with great successes. They were great ambassadors for Roscommon Gaels camogie and they should be very proud of themselves. Well done to all involved and all the family’s that came to support the girls and the U8 mentors.  There is another blitz in Tulsk on Tuesday Evening @ 6.30pm for the girls.

U10: Well done to the U10 Camogie girls that played in their first blitz of the year on Friday last.

Next up for the U10's girls is a GNB match against Kiltulla Killiomordaly on Sunday.

U10: Our under 10 hurlers traveled to Athlone Monday evening to play a challenge against Southern Gaels. We fielded 2 teams of Under 10's with both teams playing 2 games each. Both our teams competed very strongly and enjoyed the match against Southern Gaels. Our hurlers really enjoy matches with coaches and hurlers learning alot from these games. Thanks to parents who support all these games by traveling and encouraging all hurlers taking part. We will be arranging a return leg with Southern Gaels in Lisnamult in the weeks ahead.

The second U10 hurling blitz of the year takes place in Oran this Saturday June 2nd. Coaches will be in touch with parents during the week to confirm numbers.

Do you know what fun is? Winning! What does it take to win? Hard work and dedication. Kids play fortnight because they can obtain a “victory” with minimal effort. Want sports to be fun, practice hard, put in your work at the craft and the fun will follow.

​Juggling Both
Roscommon Gaels U14 ladies have won County Titles in both Football and Camogie. U14’s Hurlers have won County Title and are through to a Division one League Final.   It has been an unbelievable year in all U14 codes.  And it’s all down to the dedication and hard work and the older hands in the club putting in the correct structures and it’s paying dividends now.  We have an excellent chair lady and an excellent committee.  We have very sensible Camogie/Hurling and Football management teams and they understand that the club wants to compete on both fronts so we are sensible about how we approach both football and Hurling/Camogie.  When Championship season comes around the freshness of the teams takes precedence.  In the GAA common sense often goes out the window, but with the Roscommon Gaels U14’s Lads/Ladies we have gotten a lot of good out of the common sense approach.   E.g. Roscommon Gaels U14 Ladies don’t field teams in ladies football, preferring to concentrate on Camogie – and it’s a move that clearly paid off.  

Club Chairperson Teresa Hession has been central to the success enjoyed by Roscommon Gaels over the past years.  Along with other members of the committee, she does her best to oversee both and ensure that the problems that dog other dual clubs don’t arise.  Most of our U14 Lads and Ladies are on both Football and Hurling/Camogie panels, with most of them starters in every game.  Obviously there has been allot of co-operation and Communication between both and this is what makes these teams successful.  Communication is the only way to take dual clubs forward.  There are the occasional hiccups, but mostly it’s very good.  The real secret to the clubs success is the buy in from the entire population of the area, which has allowed the club to build on the solid foundations laid down by its founders.  We are currently working on how to establish a stronger school link.  It’s great to see all our pitches in the summer being used in all codes.  Those pitches are occupied with Hurling, Camogie and Football and its down to the men and women who got it going years ago.  If anybody had said 40 years ago what we’d be doing now we’d have said they were mad.  It’s just impossible!  But it just shows you what hard work and co operation between all sections, football, hurling and camogie, can achieve.  Sadly it has to be said that dual clubs won’t work unless there is success because people will find a reason for it not to work.  But when you get a bit of success people say hang on it can work.  The more people that embrace our dual club and embrace dual players and it’s not just about football coming from a county like Roscommon.  I think it’s important that if you are part of a GAA club you have an obligation to promote all codes because at the end of the day we are all Gaels.
