Book Launch

A history of Gaelic games in Watergrasshill/ Glenville parish will be launched on the 25th of April. This book chronicles Gaelic games in the parish from 1885 to 2012. It includes chapterson hurling, football, camogie, ladies football and Scor along with many other items of GAA and social interest. It also reproduces many photographs of teams and club members perhaps not seen before.

Putting such a book on the market was a huge task for the authors and the research involved was extensive. A large number of club members were interviewed and these pieces provide a perspective on both their history in the game and its influence on themselves and the wider community.
The history has been written by four club members, Danny O Farrell, Siobhan Curtin, Jerry Mackey and Frank Halbert.
The book will be launched by Eamon Ryan at 8.00pm in the MidletonPark Friday 25th of April

After midfielder Thomas Dinan had a point for the ‘Hill in the  fourth minute to open the second half scoring it heralded the ‘Hills best period of the game with Aaron Collins striking four points before he added a goal on eighteen minutes.
