Interested in Joining the The St Brigids GAA History Committee??

History Committee:

In 2011, the club formed a history committee to go back right through the years and reveal some great facts & photos from the club's past.

The photo above of the old St Brigids clubhouse which used to stand where the new hurling wall is now is a great example of some of the great gems from the past. The photo was collected by the Club History Committee who are looking for more old documents and photos from our club members.

If anyone has any, please get in contact with the History Committee. All those interested in becoming involved in the Committee are more than welcome and should send an e-mail to s_moore64@hotmail.com
