HURLING

Minor

Easkey/St.Farnans vs Coolera/Strandhill Championship CUP FINAL takes place this Saturday in Sligo Centre of Excellence, Scarden. Despite numerous underage titles over the years, Easkey/St.Farnans have never won Minor - We were disallowed from playing last year, and came very close in some great games the previous couple of years. Best of luck to the lads in this historic game. Please support.

u16

Following on from their County win, Easkey/St.Farnans begin their Connacht campaign on 17 October vs Leitrim winners at Connacht Centre Excellence Ballyhaunis.

Indoor Hurling

It is hoped to recommence the popular Indoor hurling for the winter months, for the younger age-groups. More details at a later date.

Connacht GAA Bursary Awards 2015/16

Connacht GAA, in support of the National Student Bursary Scheme, will award bursaries of €750 to students attending Higher Education colleges.

The scheme, which is now in its ninth year, will be open to members of the Association who are attending a full-time Higher Education course and who are active participants in their Higher Education club. Students who hold other GAA-related or a college scholarship/bursary will not be eligible to apply.

Connacht GAA welcomes applications from those students in our province, (Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon & Sligo), regardless whether their attendance is at a college inside or outside of Connacht”. A number of awards in each province will be reserved for those excelling in the areas of coaching and administration.

Each bursary granted will be for €750 and payment will be made annually in two instalments of €375. Further information and application forms for this year’s scheme are currently available to download from www.connachtgaa.ie
