GAA Rounders

Rounders is an Irish and British version of Softball and Baseball, and thought to be the ancestor of both. It was first codified in Ireland as part of the Original GAA Charter of 1884, but not organised until 1958. It is a Bat and Ball (also known as Safe Haven) sport whereby the batter attempts to hit a ball thrown at him or her by a pitcher or bowler and then attempts to run around the bases back home.

Report

Brendan Cummins won his third GAA Poc Fada All-Ireland Championship in-a-row, and his fourth in five years, in 2008, beating Ruairi convery by two Pocs. The Championship was held on Annaverna Mountain, Cooley in Co. Louth on Saturday, August 2, 2008.

About Poc Fada

Poc Fada is the Irish equivalent of Golf, and the two sports have the same origins in the times of the Gaelic Celtic myths and legends. According to early Irish literature, Setanta used his Hurley to hit a ball from his home in Co. Louth, while travelling, all the way to the feast of the Ulster king in Armagh, and Poc Fada is the modern equivalent, whereby a player uses their Hurley to hit a ball up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few Pocs, or hits as possible. The All-Ireland Championships are held in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth every August.

About Handball

Handball was first played in Ireland according to the World Handball Council website and the GAA Handball website describes it as the GAA’s only real World Sport. It is organised along the same lines as the rest of the Gaelic Games which come under the authority of the GAA – with County, Provincial and All-Ireland Championships, in both Men’s and Women’s, Team and Individual, Boys and Girls and also in Softball and Hardball versions. Some players compete in the European Pro Wallball Tour (Wallball is a unified version of Handball in Europe, bringing together the Handball of Ireland, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Catalonia, Basque Country, Belgium, Wallonia, Flanders and Netherlands. Others play on the US circuit or in Canada and Australia. It is also played in Japan and Latin America.

Report

Quarter-Final

Dunedin Connollys 2-6 Naomh Colmcille 1-10

A free-kick near the end of the match from Daniel Clarke proved the difference for Naomh Colmcille as the the Donegal side narrowly defeated their Scottish counterparts in Edinburgh. Dunedin scored first through Damien Keane and led by 0-4 to 0-3 at half-time. Soon after the second half began Naomh Colmcille went ahead through a goal by Ryan McErlean, however Connollys answered immediately with a goal of their own to tie the game. The lead changed frequently after this as the sides traded score-for-score towards the end of the match. With two minutes remaining Dunedin netted their second goal to once again level the match, however Clarke’s free kick was enough to separate the sides.

Semi-Final

Knocknagree 2-9 Naomh Colmcille 0-7

Two soft goals early on for Knocknagree settled this semi-final. James Dennehy and Anthony Connor netted with a bit of fortune and poor defending from Donegal side. The Cork side went into half-time leading 2-4 to 0-3 and while the second-half was more even Naomh Colmcille never found a way back into the game. Naomh colmcille ended up with 13 men as Knocknagree eased to victory.

Final

Knocknagree 3-13 Multyfarnham 3-9

Knockragee won their first All-Ireland Junior Football Championship, and Cork’s first since 2008, in a high-scoring Final at Croke Park. Six goals were scored in total, three for each side, as Knockragee scored all of their 3-13 tally from play. Both sides are small clubs who haven’t known glory like this before: Multyfarnham’s Westmeath JFC title was their first title of note since the 1950s and Knocknagree’s greatest achievement to date was their Munster Junior Final earlier this season. Man-of-the-match Fintan O’Connor scored the opening goal midway through the first have for the Cork side, and Michael Mahony added one 40 seconds later. At half-time the score was 2-7 to 0-5 in favour of Knocknagree, however, the scoring was only beginning to light up the scoreboard. Knocknagree reverted to six defenders with their lead, but that only served to encourage the Multyfarnham forwards, who scored a goal of their own through David Wallace. Knockragee scored a lucky goal from goalkeeper Patrick Doyle’s 45, to stretch their lead again. Two stoppage-time goals from Mark Fallon, weren’t enough for the westmeath side to level matters, and the title, Knockragee’s first at All-Ireland level, went to the Cork side.

Report

Galway’s Michael Shaughnessy won the GAA Poc Fada Hurling All-Ireland Championships in 1995, with a score of 55 pocs, ahead of Liam Shinnors of Tipperary and Michael Beresford of Waterford. David Fitzgerald of Co. Clare, Colin Byrne of Wicklow andd John Masterson of Meath made up the first six.

About Poc Fada

An Poc Fada – ‘the Long Puck’ is a Gaelic Game where players use a Hurley to hit a Sliotar (ball) up the side of a mountain and down the other side in as few pucks or shots as possible.

The sport would have a similar origin to the Scottish Game of Golf. It is mentioned in the myths and legends of Ireland, when Setanta took his Hurley / Hurl and hit his Sliotar all the way from Co Louth to Co. Armagh in one go. The All-Ireland Poc Fada Championships have taken place in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth since 1961 in commemoration of the legendary feat.

Handball

Handball was first played in Ireland according to the World Handball Council website and the GAA Handball website describes it as the GAA’s only real World Sport. It is organised along the same lines as the rest of the Gaelic Games which come under the authority of the GAA – with County, Provincial and All-Ireland Championships, in both Men’s and Women’s, Team and Individual, Boys and Girls and also in Softball and Hardball versions. Some players compete in the European Pro Wallball Tour (Wallball is a unified version of Handball in Europe, bringing together the Handball of Ireland, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Catalonia, Basque Country, Belgium, Wallonia, Flanders and Netherlands. Others play on the US circuit or in Canada and Australia. It is also played in Japan and Latin America.

Report

London won the 2012 Christy Ring Cup (Division 2 All Ireland Hurling) by beating wicklow by 4-18 (30 Points) to 1-17 (20 Points) in the Final, thus consigning the South Leinstermen to their second Christy Ring Cup Final defeat in a row.

About the Christy Ring Cup

The Christy Ring Cup is the Tier 2 All-Ireland County Championship in Hurling, named after the great Cork player.

From its inception to 2018 it was a Double-Elimination Cup (dubbed the “Back Door” by the Press) and in 2019 was changed to two groups of 4, playing a Single Round-Robin with Semi-Finals & Final.

About Hurling

Hurling is an ancient Gaelic Irish Sport, and one of the four Charter GAA Sports of 1884. It is played with a Hurl or Hurley (stick) and a sliotar (ball) and is one of the fastest team sports in the world. It is 15-a-side and Goals (worth 3 points) are scored as well as points (over the bar – worth one point). It is organised on a Club and County basis like most GAA Sports and has County, Provncial and All-Ireland Championships. Within both Club and County Championships there is the Hurling League (usually run over winter) and the Hurling Championship (usually run over summer). There are about 12 Top Level (Division 1) Counties that play for the Liam McCarthy Cup, as well as the Christy Ring Cup (Division 2), and Nicky Rackard (Division 3) and Lory Meaghar Cups (Division 4). Outside of Ireland there are 14 Counties that also play Gaelic Football and sometimes Hurling, with London, Warwickshire and Lancashire taking part in the lower levels of the All-Ireland Championships.

About Rounders

Rounders is an Irish and British version of Softball and Baseball, and thought to be the ancestor of both. It was first codified in Ireland as part of the Original GAA Charter of 1884, but not organised until 1958. It is a Bat and Ball (also known as Safe Haven) sport whereby the batter attempts to hit a ball thrown at him or her by a pitcher or bowler and then attempts to run around the bases back home.
