 Ballynacargy GAA: 2026 Membership is Still Open

Ballynacargy GAA is pleased to announce that club membership for the 2026 season is still open for purchase.

Being a member is more than just a show of support for the Blue and Gold; it provides vital funding for the club's development and grants members full access to our excellent local facilities. This includes use of the club gym and our floodlit walking track—perfect for staying active as the evenings stretch out.

Whether you are a player taking to the pitch, a frequent user of the grounds, or a dedicated supporter, we invite you to formally join the Ballynacargy community for the year ahead.

To make registration as accessible as possible, the club is offering a flexible payment option. Membership can be paid in full or via three automatic monthly instalments, which can be selected at the checkout stage.

How to Register: Visit our dedicated portal at ballynacargygaa.com/membership_signup or follow the direct links on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

For those who require assistance with the online process, please contact the club PRO via our social media channels. We look forward to seeing our members, old and new, back at the grounds for a successful 2026 season.

 

The 2026 season is just around the corner, and the Ballynacargy Underage Committee has ambitious plans for our youth. To make this year a success, we are looking for members of the "Bal Family" to lend a hand.
 

Whether you are a tactical expert or simply want to help the club run smoothly, there is a role for everyone:
 - Coaching: U5 Coaches (starting the next generation) and a Lead Coach for U8 Boys (working with Robbie & Padraig). 

- Match Day Support: An Siopa helpers, Traffic & Parking heroes, and the legendary "Half-Time Hooter" operator.

- Behind the Scenes: Pitch Marking crew, Young Referees (for U8/U10 Go-Games), and new Committee Members to share fresh ideas.
 

Contact the 2026 Committee:
 

·       Chairman: Matty Scanlon
 

·       Secretary: Robbie Wilson
 

·       Coaching Officer: Paul Cahill
 

·       Co-ordinator: Gordon Coloe
 

Attention Barracudas family! After a quick schedule ripple, we are officially ready to hit the floor. Is your little one ready to be FAST and FIERCE?

We are looking for the next generation of superstars to join our shoal. Whether they are already GAA-mad or just looking to make new friends, there is a space for everyone!

We’ve locked in our times at the CBS Hall to make sure training works for everyone (and doesn't keep the kids up too late on a school night!).

We want our squad looking as sharp as a Barracuda’s teeth. We still have the swag ready for our recruits!

THE BIG NEWS: Every single child who registers for the season will receive their Official Club Shorts and Socks! Nothing beats that feeling of pulling on the team colors for the first time. Come down this Wednesday, March 11th to meet the coaches, get stuck into training, and get your registration sorted to secure your kit!

SPREAD THE WORD! 📣 Help us make sure no one misses the restart! Please share this update in your group chats and tag a parent who has a future Barracuda at home.

​At Ballynacargy GAA, we’ve always believed that sport transcends the sidelines. If we’ve learned anything, it’s this: the more sport our youth play, the more our community thrives and the stronger our club becomes.

 

​That is why we are bursting with pride to congratulate Mostrim United Boys on topping their league group this week! We are sending them every bit of luck as they prepare for their upcoming Cup Final.

 

​Local Stars in the Spotlight

​We want to give a massive "well done" to our own Inny Shamrock players who are making waves on the Mostrim United panel: Evan Maguire; Cian McCormack; Jake White & Conor Scanlon

 

​Whether it’s the grip of a size 4 O’Neills or a soccer ball at their feet, these lads have proven themselves to be elite ambassadors for their clubs and their community.

 

​100% Behind You

​We can’t wait to see the result, lads. Rest assured, the entire Ballynacargy GAA family is cheering you on every step of the way. Bring it home!

Steady progress remains the name of the game as we keep moving through the early season.

The last few weeks have been all about finding our feet and getting back into the swing of things. It’s been great to see the group just enjoying their football and working hard for one another without any fuss. That same relaxed, team-first approach is exactly what we’re bringing into the next round.

This Friday, we’re heading over to Fr Growney Park. It’s just another opportunity for the lads to get a good run-out and keep building that match fitness. There’s no big script or added weight on anyone's shoulders—just a chance to get some more minutes into the legs against Rosemount in our latest Division 4 outing.

To our supporters: if you’re looking for a low-key way to spend your Friday evening, feel free to drop by. We always appreciate the quiet encouragement from the sideline, and it’s a nice way to support the club in a calm, pressure-free atmosphere.

Opponent: Rosemount (ACFL Div 4) When: Friday, March 13th @ 8:00 PM Where: Fr Growney Park Referee: John Gallagher

It’ll likely be a cool evening once the sun goes down, so make sure to wrap up well if you're coming along. We’re looking forward to a fair game and another honest shift from the group. No pressure, no frills—just the lads out on the pitch doing their bit.

See you there.
