Wales' Only LGFA Team All Britain Fundraiser

For the first time in history, the only Welsh Ladies Gaelic Football team has successfully qualified for the All-Britain LGFA Football Championship! Making our Ladies team the first-ever Welsh team to be represented in this competition. Our club and local community are immensely proud of them for this achievement and for winning Glo-Herts Championship earlier this year.

Representing St Colmcilles and Wales at this level comes with a significant cost to cover transport, food, equipment, and potential accommodation. Like many small voluntary groups across Wales, the cost of living crisis has been financially challenging. Our ladies team is in need of funds ahead of the upcoming championship and are embarking on a fundraising drive.

In an effort to fundraise, our Ladies Team has challenged themselves to collectively walk or run the length and width of Wales in one week. A total distance of 275 miles starting on Thursday, 3rd of August. They will be posting lots of photos of the challenge on our Facebook and Instagram pages, so you can keep up to date on their progress.

We are asking our family, friends and GAA supporters at home and abroad to support our Ladies Team. All contributions, small or big will be greatly appreciated by all in St Colmcilles GAA Cardiff and we thank you for your support.

Colmcillee Abú!

Am y tro cynraf mewn hanes, mae'r unig dim pêl-droed gaeleg o Gymru wedi cymhwyso ar gyfer Pencampwriaeth Pêl-droed LGFA Prydain Gyfan. Mae hyn yn golygu mae ein tim merched ni yw'r tim cyntaf o Gymru yn y bencampwriaeth erioed. Mae ein clwb a'n cymuned lleol yn falch iawn o'r tim, ac am ennill Pencampwriaeth sirol Glo-Herts eleni.

Gofynwn yn garedig i'n teuluoedd, ffrindiau a'n cefnogwyr i gefnogi ein tim merched. Bydd unrhyw gyfraniad, bach neu mawr and yn gwneud gwahaniaeth ini. Diolch yn fawr! St Colmcille's Caerdydd!

About the Club:

As Cardiff’s only Gaelic club, we have been promoting Gaelic Games and Irish Culture in the local and surrounding areas since 1956. We offer a haven away from home and a warm welcome to all nationalities, backgrounds, and abilities. St Colmcilles is much more than a sports club. Our focus isn’t just on the game, it’s about getting everyone together, having the craic, building relationships, supporting each other, and developing our club whether you are a player or non-player! All are welcome! The club has the only Welsh Ladies Gaelic Football team, alongside a Camogie team, a Hurling team and Mens Gaelic Football team.

All roles within the club are administered by volunteers and our pursuits are supported through fundraising.
