The John West Féile na nGael takes place from 17th to 19th June and is being hosted between Tipperary and Waterford.
This national tournament is an annual festival encompassing Hurling, Camogie and Handball at U14 level. It is a fantastic honour to host this auspicious event and welcome participants and their families from all over Ireland and beyond.
The ethos of Féile is to ensure that all players are given the opportunity to partipate and play in their respective Féile tournaments. Clubs gain the experience of playing teams from other counties and also to foster links and friendships with these clubs.
Féile weekend will see the host clubs in both Tipperary and Waterford welcome hundreds of people to their area’s and to promote and show our facilities and localities to a wide audience.
The National Launch of John West Féile na nGael will take place on Thursday 21st April at 7.00pm in Ballymacarbry Community Centre, Ballymacarbry nestled in the Nire Valley on the Waterford / Tipperary border.
This night of music, dance and celebration will showcase local talents from the national schools of Newcastle, Co. Tipperary and Ballymacarbry, Co. Waterford as well as other local dignitaries.
The Presidents of the GAA, Camogie and Handball Associations will also be in attendance on this night.
The Launch night is open to all clubs to attend and to local media personnel, we hope to see you there to celebrate and foster our National Games
