Graigue Ballycallan Minors stepped up to Roinn A this year with a young but talented group of players. Their first league match was against Piltown in Kilmanagh, at the start of April. A man of the match performance by Eamonn Egan and a good overall team performance led to a good win for the GBC lads, 2-17 to 1-9. Read more

Our Training began in February in Wallslough Indoor Arena, moving to twice weekly training at the Pitch in Kilmanagh and ended with a great day in McDonalds in September!
As with all Sport, our panel consisted of boys who each had their own skill set, determination and love of the game, but importantly, each had their own part to play in the panel that ensured that it was the Team Success that mattered at the end of the year. Read more

Graigue Ballycallan U16s were in Roinn A as a result of winning U16 Roinn B in 2014. Expectations for 2015 were high and the aim for the year was to be competitive.
We operated with a small tight panel as numbers are low towards other years, usually only togged with 19/20 when without the U13s.
With 12 teams in Roinn A League, we were in Group B, avoiding city teams O’Loughlins, Dicksboro, James Stephens and Naas. In our Group we had the best of the country teams Ballyhale, Thomastown, Mooncoin, Danesfort and Dunnamaggin. Read more

The U14 panel for 2015 started their year with an unbeaten run in the Football league, qualifying for the League Final which is due to be played in early 2016. They continued their tremendous form throughout the championship and earned a place against Glenmore in the County Final. Unfortunately, they fell a bit short on the big day and were beaten by a well drilled Glenmore outfit. Read more

On the 28th of March our U10’s returned to training in Kilmanagh, having completed four weeks indoor training in Wallslough.
