Dear Members,

It is with a genuine sense of honour that I step into the role of Chairman at St. Brigid’s GAA Club. The trust you place in me is deeply appreciated and the warmth and support extended to the executive in recent weeks have been very heartening. Along with the executive team, I look forward to working with you over the next year as we as we seek to build on our proud traditions and to further enhance the club experience for all.

A heartfelt expression of gratitude goes to the outgoing executives, with special  appreciation to Gerry Philips, Mary O’Connor and Trish O’Reilly. Their dedicated service over the past few years has laid a solid foundation, and I look forward to their continued leadership in St. Brigid’s.

I extend sincere thanks to our players who have represented St. Brigid’s with pride over the past year. A special acknowledgment goes out to all our volunteers, sponsors, mentors and parents whose invaluable contributions are pivotal to the ongoing success of our club.

On behalf of the club executive and myself, I wish all our members and our families a very warm and relaxing Christmas and a New Year, 2024, filled with all things good.

Le gach dea-guí,

Denis Courtney

Chairman

Please note that at all grass pitches are closed and that there should be no unsupervised underage members using club facilities for the duration of the Christmas holidays.

Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the field of play in the New Year.

The Trustees and members of St. Brigid’s wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the Hughes family on the passing of Willie Hughes. Willie played with St Brigids and was a brother of former Club president Herbie Hughes.
