FÉILE na nGAEL Finals 2018 (Camogie and Hurling) In 2018 Connacht GAA will host the Féile na nGael U14 camogie and hurling finals. Close on 60 hurling clubs from the province and 12 more from Westmeath and Longford will be involved. There will also be close on 50 camogie clubs from the province hosting camogie clubs from all over Ireland. The dates for Féile na nGael 2018 are Friday 8th to Sunday 10th June. Roscommon Gaels will be represented in these National Féile Finals by our very own newly crowned U14 County Roscommon Hurling Champions. We will also be represented by two camogie teams; one in Division 5 and one in Division 7 which together make up our U13 and U14 camogie development squads. Our U14 girls are also newly crowned U14 County Roscommon ‘B’ Camogie Champions. We are very fortunate to be able to enter two camogie teams. It brings the opportunity to more young girls in our Club to experience playing in the Féile Finals which is a really positive event for young girls and boys involved in our national games. In turn, this means that we will be hosting three visiting Clubs and this is a wonderful opportunity for our club and community to give a fantastic Céad Míle Fáilte to our guests. Roscommon Gaels will be hosting: • St Mullins Camogie Club, Co Carlow • Fermanagh Camogie, Co Fermanagh • Ennistymon Hurling Club, Co Clare Fun and Games The first throw-in for Roscommon Gaels will be on Friday evening when our U14 Division 5 camogie team will take on Causeway of Co Kerry at 5pm in Dr Hyde Park, followed by a second game against our neighbours Oran at the same venue at 6.30pm. These Gaels girls will play again on Saturday morning at 11am in our home ground at Lisnamult against our guests from Co Carlow, St Mullins Camogie Club. At this stage, their Féile quarter final placing will be decided. If they are placed 3rd or 4th in their group they will play in the Shield Quarter Finals and a 1st or 2nd placing will take them into the Cup Quarter Finals, all of which will be played in St Dominics pitch from 2pm on Saturday. The girls will be fighting for a place in the Féile Semi-Finals at this stage. CAMOGIE DIVISION 5: ROSCOMMON GAELS HOME VENUE
