It was an incredible honour for Glynn Barntown GAA Club to be chosen to host the launch of the All Ireland Hurling Championship series which took place today Tuesday July 11th. Distinguished guests from Croke Park including Ard Stiúrthóir Pádraic Duffy, players from the six remaining counties in the Hurling Championship -Mark Ellis (Cork), Sean Curran (Tipperary), Noel Connors (Waterford), Aaron Cunningham (Clare), Johnny Coen (Galway), and Wexford’s own Lee Chin and members of local and national media were in attendance from 11am-3pm today as the media launch took place. Children attending Cúl Camp in Killurin were delighted to avail of the opportunity for photos and autographs with the intercounty stars who were most accommodating towards their young fans. Yesterday the entourage paid a visit to local gem ,The Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig for a photo shoot -a venue we as a club were delighted to recommend to the visitors. Well done to Club Chairman John Cooney and Club Secretary Danny O’ Brien for their work over the past number of weeks in bringing this fantastic event to our club.

Wishing our star u14 camogie goalkeeper Lizzie Walsh the best of luck as she represents Glynn NS, her club & county in Croke Park on Sunday as she lines out with a Wexford camogie selection at half time in the Leinster Senior hurling final. Extremely proud of you Lizzie!

Glynn Barntown player Caitlin Garnett has also been selected from Barntown N.S. to represent her school, club and county in Croke Park at half time in the Leinster Hurling final! How proud are we to have two club u14 camogie girls step out on that hallowed ground on Sunday? But wait …there’s more……

….Club u14 hurling star Daragh Murphy has ALSO been chosen by Barntown NS to represent school, club and county at half time on Leinster Hurling final day!

Daragh’s Dad Larry was a member of the 1996 All Ireland winning Wexford hurling team and it’s exciting to see Daragh following in his dad’s famous footsteps. Expect the Davin Stand to erupt when these youngsters take to the field as the three busloads of Glynn Barntown/Wexford supporters cheer their young clubmates on. The icing on the cake is that Daragh has also been given the joint honour of carrying the Bob O Keeffe cup on to the field to its resting place on the pedestal along with a young player from Galway. 💚💙💜💛

1 MORE SLEEP!!!! The parish and county will empty tomorrow as the Model Army march on Croke Park to lay siege to the Tribesmen in the Leinster Senior Hurling Final. Wishing club and county net minder Mark Fanning along with clubman Gary Moore and the Wexford Senior Hurling panel and backroom team the very best of luck in this ongoing epic adventure of 2017. Croke Park will be awash with Purple and Gold tomorrow! 💚💙💜💛

A big thank you to all who took part in yesterday’s Annual Glynn Barntown GAA Club Golf Classic in St Helen’s Rosslare and to all who worked hard to organise the event and man the posts on the day.
