On the week leading up to the Bank holiday weekend, it didn’t look good with the weather playing havoc with the Pitches in County Tyrone. But Saturday 2nd May was a Sun drenched day and the 8th Annual Féile Uladh was a great day.
This year’s Féile was that little bit special as it was also celebrating 125 years of the GAA and for the second year was held in Tír Eoghain. It was a great occasion and the market town of Dungannon was a fabulous host as to where the host club Eoghan Ruadh CLG.
Feile is a small stepping stone on the development of the provinces young Hurlers and Camogs, but one which goes a long way in the memory of those who participate in it.
This year there was a record number of team (86) and 2,107 Players plying their trade with the Cáman and Sliothar.
A special thank you must go to the Parents and Coaches for your work, which was a credit to you with the way the young players played our beautiful game. To all the Referees thanks, for their time and effort, as without them the 112 games played on the day would not of been possible.
To the Host clubs for use of their superb facilities and pitches and due to the fact that the weather was playing havoc on the playing surfaces on the week leading up to Féile.
Special thanks to the teams in Division 6 who had to travel to Ballyshannon to play in their group games. Féile gives the opportunity to teams to play against clubs they don’t usually get a chance to and is about participation more so than winning, although there were winners on the day and certainly no losers; the main winner was Gaelic Games
and in particular Hurling and Camogie.
The Dunloy Camogie Team were judged the best turned out team during the parade through Dungannon with Slaughtneil the Best Banner.
Thank you for a brilliant day on Saturday. The girls really enjoyed everything about the day, thank you for including us. Congratulations on the fantastic organisation of the parade, as someone who has been to 12 National Feile na nGael Parades, I can tell you Saturday’s was by far the best organised I have been to. Well done to all involved!

Just a quick thank you from Cappagh/Killyclogher for a great day at the Feile. It really was the taking part that counts and our boys fully enjoyed the day. They scored their first goal of the year and it was like giving them a thousand pounds. Again thanks and your work is very much appreciated.
