Armagh Club football & hurling

I think the time of your edit indicates that you added something onto that post as it didn't read like that first time round ie no mention of O'Connor, hence the confusion.

Yeah I edited after your post to make it clear I was on about o'Connor

Hence the confusion pints but we now know what you were on about.

Castlewellan Invitational Sevens
Sponsored by Azzurri


A Chara

I have pleasure in inviting your Club to participate in our Invitational seven-a-side senior football competition which will be held on Saturday 1st May 2010 in Castlewellan Co. Down. Our Club has been running a very successful men's annual seven-a-side competition for the past 30 years second only in stature to the Dublin Kilmacud Sevens with winners of the Castlewellan sevens receiving invitations each year to enter the prestigious Kilmacud Seven held on the eve of the All-Ireland final. Indeed many of the Castlewellan Sevens winners have gone on to win the Kilmacud Sevens in the same year.

Traditionally the Castlewellan Sevens have beed held on the eve of the All-Ireland hurling final but due to increasing club commitments at this time of years we have decided to relaunch our sevens competition in 2010 for the earlier date of Saturday May 1st. Also for the first time ever we will be hosting our Ladies annual seven-a-side competition on the same day. The winning team in each competitions this year will receive £1000.00 and runners-up £250.


This is an official GAA tournament and normal GAA rules apply, each participating club must obtain permission in writing from its respective County Committee. It is also a requirement that clubs are covered under the Players' Injury Scheme currently approved by Ard Chomhairle.

The Sevens are of course more than a highly competitive one-day competition. It is always a great social occasion and we can guarantee you a warm Co Down welcome to Castlewellan and to our Clubrooms where we will provide top quality meals for all players and officials and host a grand evenings entertainment. Many Clubs opt to stay over in some of the Town's fine guesthouses and local hotels a list of which is also attached.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Club on Saturday 1st May. A competition of this level with top quality prizes and meals for all competitors and officials makes it necessary for us to set a fee to off-set the expenses involved, the entry fee this year is £160stg per team or €180, please make cheques payable to Castlewellan G.A.C. Entry forms may be posted to secretary.castlewellan.down@gaa.ie

The Killeavey 7's must have caused a ripple

[IVEDECIDED]

Killeavy 7's off this weekend!

[winsamsoon]

What happened there?

What happened there?

I was told it was off due to weather but not 100% sure WSS. The school pitch they use in the housing estate was prob un playable as their main pitches are usually fine and with extra teams this year another venue was more than likely used and it may well have been doubtful too (thats my opinion saan)

[cillsleibhe]

The 7s were called off on Wednesday night because of the weather early on in the week and the promise of more to come.  We weren't using the council field this year but our old field was in poor shape and unlikely to be playable.  Our new field probably would have been alright but it couldn't have staged the whole tournament.

We are hoping to get County Board approval to run the tournament on 8th May - the day before the La na gClub on 9th May.  Invites will be going out again soon.

Tell the club the 8th is definitely a no go - Mickey Austin has to work that day.  (Dont mention it Mick lol)
