NSW Season

The GAA Season in NSW starts with a one day tournament in Gosford in March.

The NSW League usually starts the following week. After that we play the Championship and finally another one day tournament, The Shield.

Competition concludes in September with the State Games.

Many teams are made up of backpackers who come and go through out the year. If you're not there for the start of the season, don't be put off: please give us a call anyway. We are always looking for new players.

The Sydney Shamrocks TRAIN on Tuesday nights at Centenary Park Croydon under flood lights.

On Saturday we have a puck around and a bit of a game among ourselves at Queen Park Bondi Junction.

Both venues are very central to anyone living in the Eastern Suburbs. ie Bondi, Bondi Junction, Ranwick, Coogee, Doublebay, Rosebay, etc

What to Bring with you.

Unfortunately there is no hurley maker in Sydney yet!!! So you need to bring a couple of sticks of your own. Club hurleys are provided but it's a case of a lucky dip! You could be pulling out a bit of a 4 x 4!!!!(if you are lucky)

Also bring helmets, boots, Sliothars and any guards if you wear them.

All players must be insured before they play hurling in Sydney, it costs roughly $50 per year.

'Clan Na Gael' Football Club

We regard Clan Na Gael Football Club as our sister club. Clan have both a men's and a lady's football team. Some of the lads are duel stars playing both football and hurling. They are also based in the eastern suburbs and train in Waverley Oval along side us.

If you are interested in playing football in Sydney either for the men's or the lady's team you should contact:

clannagael_sydney@mail.ie

or check out their website at:
