Irish Officers: Claire Keating and Marie Berkery.
Cappamore GAA and Camogie Club is more than a sporting club. GAA runs deep in the veins of Irish people for generations. It is a reflection of our identity as a community, a club, a county and a nation.
Here at Cappamore GAA and Camogie we try to promote awareness of community. We also like to promote the principles of our organisation.
Language is one of those core principles. Our language would probably have died away soon after the famine had it not been for the GAA.
The Irish language is now alive and growing with Gael Scoils popping up all around the country. Here in Cappamore GAA and Camogie we try to encourage coaches to use Irish as much as possible in an enjoyable way. Here are a few phrases that may be useful on the training pitch:
