In June 2011 the Training Session began for Gaelic for Mothers. The attendance was overwhelming and the enthuasm fantastic. Each week the numbers grew welcoming ladies from Cushendall, Cushendun and Ballycastle.

Martin McKendry kindly agreed to be our trainer, he was very much respected among the ladies, even though he showed us NO MERCY! lol

Martin encouraged us in skills, fitness, co-ordination, rules (as only one member had previously played Gaelic before)and team work.

In October just 4 months after starting, 30 ladies travelled to Portmarnock, outside Dublin to take part in a Gaelic for Mothers Blitz. We achieved beyond our expectations and a fantastic time was had by all.

Everyone is counting the days until we start again for our 2012 season.
