Féile 2019 – Entry System Open

The John West Féile na nGael Handball 2019 event is fast approaching with the on-line entry system for this the main Juvenile Club competition of the year just launched. The competitions are being hosted by Cork clubs on Saturday 15th June.

The John West Féile na nGael Handball Event is part of the All-Ireland Féile Club festival for all GAA Clubs aimed at players (both Boys and Girls) between the ages of Under 14 and 10 years old on the 1st January. Like last year the Handball event has it’s very own standalone weekend with Hurling, Camogie and Football Féile on different weekends. This proved a great success with last year’s Handball Féile event one of the largest ever, with over 70 teams taking part.

The Entry Deadline is midnight Friday 19th April, all teams/clubs are asked to enter at their earliest convenience so that the tournament organisers can gauge participation numbers.

This year’s event in Cork covers our 4-Wall and 1-Wall codes with a separate Softball Féile being organized in August – more about this later. The 1-Wall competition is confined to clubs with One Wall facilities only. Last year we had 8 teams that took part and we hope this year’s event will be even bigger with even more of our standalone 1-Wall clubs taking part.

The Féile event will be run off on the Saturday 15th June with the start time on the Saturday morning at around 10am. Final venues will be determined once final entry numbers are known, but it is hoped to have fixtures released by Friday 17th May, five weeks in advance of the event.

All teams are also requested to send in the following to feile.handball@gaa.ie before Friday 26th April to ensure publication in the programme.

Team Photo (1 team photo per club even if club has 3 teams) - in jpeg format 1MB to 2MB in size.

Brief Club History – 120 words max.

Entry Fee: €40 per Team (including 1 player in the skills event)

As part of the entry fee each player will get a 2019 Féile T-shirt, for most U14 based on previous years’ experience a small t-shirt will be the most appropriate size.
