Gaelic games are very popular with students at St Mary’s
and there are teams for football (men and women), hurling and
camogie.
The games are part and parcel of the St Mary’s tradition
of community and togetherness and they are a significant aspect,
for many, of the student experience.
Playing gaelic games at St Mary’s offers students the
opportunity to work with some of the top coaches in Ulster, as
well as playing with and against some of the best up and coming
talent in the country.
In addition to playing the games, students become involved in
club administration and help organise social and cultural events.
Gaelic games at St Mary’s has made a significant contribution
to the GAA in the province of Ulster over many decades. This contribution
is manifest in hundreds of volunteer coaches, players, referees
and administration. The greatest contribution however has been
to provide thousands of teachers who are well educated to develop
the games in schools.
