Féile
Camogie Féile Team 2026
We are very proud of each one of you 💚🤍
A brilliant performance in very tough conditions last night, delivering a WIN against Fr. Joe Walsh's.
Over the last three days, the girls have developed their skills and teamwork. This group has given it their all — recording a win, a draw, and a loss — a true reflection of their determination, resilience, and spirit.
While we didn't secure a semi-final place, this squad has a bright future ahead.
The club couldn’t be prouder of the team's commitment and attitude throughout the competition.
Best of luck to all in the semi-finals today
Onwards and upwards for this fantastic group 💚🤍

Ryan Young
“(Martin) Hayes has already declared himself an admirer, as has acclaimed Irish- American fiddler Liz Carroll, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about this remarkable musician. ★★★★★ (5 STARS)” — RnR Magazine
If you’re a fan of Martin Hayes, you’ll want to hear why he’s championing one of the most exciting voices in traditional music.
Ryan Young is a multi award-winning Scottish fiddle player whose music is deeply rooted in tradition but full of fresh energy, emotion, and invention. His playing has been described as powerful, hypnotic, and completely unique - taking listeners on an immersive musical journey.
⭐ His debut album was produced by four-time GRAMMY winner Jesse Lewis (notable for his work with Béla Fleck and Yo-Yo Ma)
⭐ His new album (out May 2026) is produced by Martin Hayes, who also features on the record
⭐ Multiple award nominations including Musician of the Year (2025 Scots Trad Awards)
Ryan’s music reimagines old Scottish tunes with a modern sensitivity - full of atmosphere, drive, and subtle beauty. Whether in a quiet slow air or a high-energy reel, his playing is deeply expressive and instantly captivating.
