If your interested in hurling try out the Super Games Centre every Saturdays at 2pm for the next few weeks at Tir Chonaill Gaels Grounds, Berkeley Avenue, Greenford, London, UB6 0NZ. We provide every child in London and beyond, regardless of whether they are club affiliated or not, the opportunity to take up hurling and play it an enjoyable and safe environment. Boys and girls from U6 to 18 years can participate with equipment provided at the Super Games Centre and there will be NO CHARGE to participants so all the children have to do is show up and play the game. All welcome please pass on the information to anyone that you think may be interested. Our intention is for the Super Games Centre to drum up interest in the game and encourage a whole new generation to enjoy our native sport!
