Launch of the 2011 GAA Football Championship

May 4, 2011 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

PRESS RELEASE

04.05.11

CLG Naomh Fionnbarra helps give GAA Football Championship 2011 Lift-Off

St Finbarr’s GAA Club in Cork played host to the media event which officially launched the 2011 GAA Football Championship.

Home county man Paul Kerrigan was joined by Pádraic Joyce (Galway), Barry Cahill (Dublin) and Brendan McVeigh (Down) ahead of upcoming provincial activity which will follow Roscommon’s competition opener win over New York in Gaelic Park last weekend.

 

Juvenile members from St Finbarr’s were on hand to welcome the footballers to their clubhouse in Togher today and home clubman and Rebel County legend Jimmy Barry Murphy also extended a welcome to the visiting players.

 

Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael Criostóir Ó Cuana thanked the Cork club for their hospitality in hosting today’s event.

 

He said: “This year’s competition promises to be every bit as intriguing as those of recent seasons and I suppose the question on everybody’s lips is whether Cork can build on their promising early season form to bid for a second consecutive Sam Maguire success after last year’s long awaited breakthrough win.

 

“I know for a fact that there are a large number of counties out there who will look to have to have a say in proceedings before the latter stages of the competition.

 

“I think today underlines an important tie between our inter-county game, which is in many ways the shop window for our games, and the club scene which supports it beneath.

 

“All of our players here today learnt their skills at their clubs and I would predict long after hanging up their inter-county boots and jerseys they will return in one guise or another to those same clubs.

 

“I sincerely thank everyone at Naomh Fionnbarra for having us here today and I especially acknowledge the superb work that you are doing here in Cork.”

Cuchullains Dunloy, Co Antrim will host the hurling event on Wednesday May 11.

 

The next games in the respective provincial championships are as follows:
