St Ita's G.A.A. Club

 

Hurling (in Irish, iománaíocht or iomáint) is an outdoor team sport of ancient Gaelic origin, administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association, and played with hurleys and a ball. The earliest known recorded game of hurling is from times before the Common Era. The game, played primarily in Ireland, is arguably the world's fastest field team sport in terms of game play. One of Ireland's native Gaelic Games.

 

 

juvenile Club

St Itas Juvenile club caters for the younger players in the area. With many structures in place for coaching in our ground in Pilmore and through Clonpriest NS scaith na scol games, which run throughout the school year. Football, hurling and camogie for both boys and girls are well catered for, Clonpriest NS can be proud of their achievements to date winning out sections of their group competitions in the Scaith Na Scol.

St Itas were crowned Scor na Paisti Cork County Champions in 1993 and in 1994 St Itas Scor na Nog Set Dancers were crowned Cork County Champions, Dance Instructor & Teacher on these set teams was Jim Griffin from Pilmore who has spent many years teaching set dancing in the local village hall.

Run by a hard working committee of parents and adult club members our underage players have been doing quite well. They have started to make an impact on our adult team already, with many of these underage players coming to the fore in the adult club in recent years winning two U21 East Cork Titles.


Through our amalgamation with Killeagh GAA Juvenile club the formation of Killeagh/Itas at Minor, U16 and U14 levels has already had a positive impact on these young player many of them winning East Cork and even County titles at an underage level.
