Local Event: WNOW Dun Laoghaire
Spa GAA is a long-standing GAA club on the outskirts of Killarney and they host the popular annual KillarneyClub7’s tournament, usually over the June Bank Holiday weekend and the 2026 event was last weekend. A festival of football and entertainment. Teams from all over are invited to participate and Cuala senior team are honoured to be invited and participate.
On the pitch Cuala won 2 of the 3 qualifier games to go through to the knockout stages but lost in the quarter final to the home host team and eventual winners Spa GAA. Final score Spa GAA 4-.03 Cuala 4-01.
Sadly, didn’t bring back any medals or trophies but plenty of memories and moments from the bank holiday weekend trip.

This is a Cuala Healthy Club initiative.
The Men’s Football section organised and ran a very successful coffee and cakes morning last Saturday in Our Lady’s Hall, Dalkey — a fundraiser in aid of the Glenamuck pitch purchase.
It was a busy and enjoyable few hours, and aside from the funds raised, there was so much positive feedback from those who attended. The event provided a great opportunity for members to meet, mix and socialise in a relaxed setting. An an occasion for the club to shows its presence in the local community.
A huge effort was made by a large number of volunteers to ensure everything ran smoothly, all delivered with a smile. There are too many names to mention individually, but fair to say that sleeves were rolled up to make sure that everything from decorating the venue to serving customers (the donors), selling raffle tickets, and ensuring ran seamlessly on the day. We even had some surprise babysitters stepping in when needed!
One exception to the no mention of names – a special word of thanks to Johno Hughes of Shoe Lane and his helpful staff for supplying all the freshly brewed coffee.
Thanks also to all club members and friends of Cuala who came along to support the event.
Finally, congratulations to the lucky prize winners drawn on the day: Aisling Fay, Paul McAdam, Dan O’Sullivan, Enda McGowan, Jen Doran, James Power, Coco McHugh, Fabio Costa, Eamon Brennan, Darragh O’Dowd, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn, Ann McHugh, Peter McMahon, Jonathan Hughes, Peter Duffy, Ella Doran and Margaret Fitzsimons
