2015 Belfast Shinty / Hurling Festival – UPDATE! | |
26 May 2015 The date for a proposed Shinty / Hurling / Camogie event in Belfast has been put back until later in the year. Event organisers had originally proposed to hold a Shinty / Hurling Festival at the newly redeveloped Padraig Sairseal (Sarsfields) GAA Club in Belfast on Saturday 8 August 2015 / Sunday 9 August 2015. However, owing to the busy schedules for both shinty and hurling teams in August, it has been decided that the event will take place in Belfast towards the end of the year, most likely in November 2015. It is hoped to hold adult and juvenile (U14) Shinty / Hurling competitions and there may be a Women’s Shinty / Camogie tournament depending on interest. The competition will still be held at the newly redeveloped Padraig Sairseal (Sarsfields) GAA Club in Belfast. Event organisers hope that travel and accommodation costs can be subsidised with more detail to follow.
