Féile Peil na nÓg - 2012
Please refer to this page on a regular basis to keep up to date with arrangements as they are finalised.
The Ferbane/Belmont Minor Club are hosting the Dublin Division 1 Champions St Brigids (Castleknock) and the Naomh Ciarán Ladies club are also hosting the Dublin Division 1 Champions, Foxrock/Cabinteely. An unforgettable weekend of GAA action is guaranteed and just maybe our teams can emulate the achievements of our previous Féile representatives especially the Ladies famous national division 2 title won in Cork in 2011.
The weekend kicks off with both teams taking on the Dublin visitors in Ferbane GAA on Friday, June 22nd starting at 2pm. All four teams will travel to Portlaoise that same evening for the spectacular Féile parade through the streets of Portlaoise and will return home to their host families around 9pm.
