Castlegregory GAA senior footballers have come up with an unique idea for fundraising which involves the senior players taking part in a “Cic Fada” competition along the back beach in Castle on bank holiday Saturday June 1. The ‘Cic Fada’ course will run from Fahamore to Stradbally over a distance of 7 kilometres; and the competition will be divided into teams of 7 from the different areas of the parish in what is a throwback to the parish leagues of the 1950’s and 60’s. Former club chairman Joe Wren remembers those far off days with fondness – ‘there was a very keen rivalry between the teams from the different townlands back then; and during the matches there was no quarter asked or given, but when the games would end we would all still be great friends’ he reminisced with a twinkle in his eye.

Our under 17’s team continued their good run at home against Asdee Rovers, winning a great victory 5-3.  This was a great fight back, as they were slow to get started and were in fact 2-0 down at half-time.  They got their act together though in the second half, and with the help of a hatrick by our top scorer Gareth Hickey-Brosnan and one each from Matthew Flaherty and Captain, Colm Begley they ran out the worthy winners in the end.
