General Gaelic Games at St. Mary's


St Mary’s has a very strong tradition in gaelic games and we are very proud of our teams. We have integrated our players under the Gaelic Athletic Society which comprises three mens gaelic football teams, one ladies gaelic football team, a hurling team and a camogie team.

The St Mary’s tradition of community and togetherness is something that we pride ourselves on and we believe that participation in gaelic games enhances the student experience.

Playing gaelic games at St Mary’s offers students a vital opportunity to work with some of the top coaches in Ulster, as well as playing with some of the best up and coming talent in the province.

If playing is not your thing, students can have a significant role by becoming involved in club administration and helping organise social and cultural events.

St Mary’s is fortunate to have its own GAA development officer in Ryan Mellon. Ryan is a member of the highly successful Tyrone County football team. Throughout this academic year, there will be various GAA workshops running in St Mary’s dealing with a wide range of subjects such as core stability, first aid in sport and performance analysis. National Governing Body courses such as, FUNdamentals, Learn to train and award 1 will also be available to students.
