This is a wonderful opportunity for 25 incredibly talented young girls from clubs across Britain, including Thomas McCurtains (East London), Granuaile (West London), Erin Go Bragh, and John Mitchells (Birmingham).
Together, they will proudly represent our their clubs and Britain with ambition, teamwork, and pride.

By sending our girls, we’re fostering the growth of Camogie across Britain and empowering the next generation of players. The Feile tournament allows the girls to to experience Irish culture, create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime and it also gives them the opportunity to compete at the highest level in Gaelic sport. These young athletes will be role models for others, inspiring future generations of girls to get involved in the sport and pursue their passions, no matter the obstacles.
