It's the first time we entered your competition and we would like to thank your club and all your volunteers for the amount of effort put in. I'm sure a lot of preparation went into it which was seen on the day as it was flawless. Our players had a wonderful experience, thanks for having us and we look forward to next year,

Thanks, Teconnaught had a great day out - as usual may I add! Well organised, great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyable. It is always inspirational to see how you can organise so many in-house volunteers for days like this. Well done.

Roche Emmets 
Many thanks for the excellent organisation of the tournament today. It is a massive effort pulling a tournament like this one together so many thanks. All our lads that took part had a great time. It is a real example of what the GAA is all about. Our lads lost in the ¼ final but they learned & enjoyed so much. The club is about the community and you are a great example to all as to what this represents.
