Club PRO Kevin Dunne insists new members are always welcome.

“Here in St James Gaels/ An Caislean we are always welcome to new players.

“No experience is necessary as we will provide training. Players can start from as young as your years old in our introductory academy.”

The club caters for girls and boys from 4 to 7 years every Saturday morning at 10:30am in the Iveagh Grounds.

Dunne said: “We introduce the children to the skills of gaelic games in a fun a safe environment.

“From there the children progress to active teams starting at U8. We have teams for all ages right up to adult teams. This year we started a boys and girls U8 teams.”

St James’ is “committed to providing a safe environment for participating in group sports’ and have a ‘dedicated’ child protection officer”, Dunne said.
