Ladies football.

Under 16 football Division 3 Championship Round 3.

The Downs v Ballycomoyle.

Our Under 16 ladies travelled to The Downs on Tuesday evening last 12/8/24 in Round 3 of Championship. Missing a few of our panel we went into the game confident. The game started well with both teams trading some great score's. As the half time whistle sounded the score line did not reflect how well our girls played in that first half. Half time The Downs 4-05 Ballycomoyle 1-04.

The Ballycomoyle management team made a couple of substitutions and positional changes in the second half. And our ladies looked the better side kicking over some fine points, however credit to the The Downs on making some fine substitutions wish turned the match in their favour. This was a very good game of football between two very good teams.

Final score 

The Downs 6-12

Ballycomoyle 2-10.

The Ballycomoyle GAA club send their best wishes to Aleesha Kennedy 

for a speedy recovery from a injury pick up during the first half of this match. We hope to see Aleesha back on the playing fields very soon.

Many thanks to all the parent's for having all the girls there for the match..

Many thanks thanks to the Downs for a great match.

Next match up for our under 16 ladies is a trip away to Caulry.

Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic / The Joe McDonagh Foundation.

Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha/ The Joe McDonagh Foundation. Is scéim tacaíochta de chuid Ghlór na nGael agus de chuid an Chumainn Lúthchleas Gael í Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha le haghaidh clubanna CLG ar mian leo an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn. Tá formhór na gclubanna ag cur na Gaeilge chun cinn bealach amháin nó bealach eile. Is é cuspóir na fondúireachta seo ná na hiarrachtaí sin a fhorbairt ar bhonn tomhaiste agus pleanáilte. Cuirfidh Glór na nGael cuidiú ar fáil don Oifigeach Gaeilge i bhfoirm chomhairle, tacaíochta agus idéanna le tógáil ar an obair mhaith atá á déanamh sa chlub cheana féin. Is féidir deontas a lorg ón Fhondúireacht chun cuidiú leis na pleananna sin a chur i gcrích agus bronnfar bonn ar na clubanna as méid áirithe a bhaint amach ar son na teanga. I mbliana (2024), tá Baile Uí Chumaoil cláraithe don scéim seo agus tá grúpa oibre againn chun gníomhaíochtaí éagsúla a eagrú.

Rinneamar suirbhé ar bhaill maidir leis an Ghaeilge sa chlub idir 3/4/2024 agus 25/4/2024. Léirigh 86.1% gur mhaith leo go mbeadh stádas níos lárnaí ag an Ghaeilge i saol oifigiúil an chlub agus 75% gur chóir don chlub plean don Ghaeilge a fheidhmiú. Ag aithint na héilimh agus na riachtanais a léiríodh sa suirbhé agus mianta Choiste Feidhmiúcháin agus Coiste Gaeilge an chlub, aontaíodh an fís Ag Cruthú Spás don Ghaeilge (Making space for Gaeilge) don phlean teanga. Léiríonn an fhís seo an bhéim a chuirfear ar fhoghlaim agus ar úsáid na Gaeilge a chothú i measc óige an chlub. Is é an rún atá againn ná go mbeidh fáil ar dheiseanna foghlamtha oiriúnacha ag gach ball óg agus ardú suntasach ar úsáid na Gaeilge i measc na mball óg dá bharr faoi dheireadh thréimhse feidhme an phlean.

Ta áit lárnach agus tabhachtach ag Scór agus Scór na nÓg in ár gclub le blianta anuas. Leanfaimid ar aghaidh ag tabhairt seansanna do mhuintir ár gclub agus ár gceantar páirt a ghlacadh i gcomórtais de chuid Scór. Ta i gceist againn Ceardlann Scór na nÓg a eagrú roimh deireadh Mí Lúnasa. I Mí Márta bhí cleachtadh don béal triail eagraithe ag an gclub agus bhí ciorcal comhrá eagraithe ag tus an samhradh. Táimid ar sos ón gCiorcal comhrá faoi lathair ach tosóimid arís roimh deireadh Mí Mean Fomhar. Ag dul ar aghaidh eagrófaí níos mó do na deiseanna seo. Más maith leat níos mó eolais a fháil faoin Fondúireacht nó aon rud eile atá luaithe anseo dean teagmháil le Oifigeach cultúra an gclub, Catherine Daly, ar 087 9185962. 

The Joe McDonagh Foundation is a support service provided by Glór na nGael and the Gaelic Athletic Association to GAA clubs wishing to further the Irish Language in their community. Most clubs have been promoting the Irish language in some form or another. The Foundation is here to help develop that promotion in a more measured and planned fashion.

Glór na nGael will offer help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support and ideas to build on the good work that has already been done within the club. Grants are available from the Foundation to help realise your plans and medals will be awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in promotion of the language. This year, in 2024, Baile Uí Chumaoil registered with the Foundation and a working group was formed to organise language promoting activities. The club undertook a survey with members regarding Irish Language within the club between 3/4/2024 and 25/4/2024. 36 people took part and 86.1% of survey participants agreed that they would like to see the Irish language have a more prominent role within the club and 75% agreed that the club should implement an Irish language plan. Taking into consideration the demands and language needs recognised in the survey as well as the aims of the Executive Committee, the following vision statement was agreed, Ag Cruthú Spás don Ghaeilge (Making space for Gaeilge) for the club’s Irish Language Plan.

This vision statement demonstrates that our members will have an opportunity to use and learn the Irish language through our various club activities and that the language will have an important place in the life of our club. Scór and Scór na nÓg have formed a central and very important part of our club activities for a number of years. We will continue to offer opportunities to club members and members of our locality to participate in Scór competitions. We plan to hold a Scór na nÓg workshop before the end of August – full details to follow. In March 2024 we organised Oral Irish practice session for Leaving Cert students in the locality and we organised a weekly ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’ at the beginning of the summer. We are currently on a break from the ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’ but plan to recommence before the end of September. We will continue to offer these opportunities in the future. If you would like to find out more about the ‘Fondúireacht’ or are interested in information about any of the activities mentioned please contact Club Cultural Officer, Catherine Daly, on 087 9185962.
