GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CLUBS

KNOCKAINEY GAA - CLONBRIEN TREATY

Knockainey Gaa is a club in South Co Limerick established in 1936. Our clubmen and women hail from the shores of Lough Gur to our boundaries with Hospital, Bruff and Stakers. Our colours are Black and White which has lent cause to our nickname the All Blacks. We are predominantly a Hurling club but do play football at juvenile level.

We have teams playing from u6 up to our 2 adult teams- Intermediate and Junior B. We won promotion from Junior ranks in 1991 and further to senior in 2001. While we have found ourselves at Intermediate level this year we are excited to see what this and future years will bring. The club are about to undertake phase 1 of our development project and look forward to the benefits this will bring to our club but also our community.

St Senans LGFA is based in Foynes, Shangolden and Barrigone/Robertstown Parish in West Limerick. After a brief spell of Junior teams during the early 2000s, the club was reformed in 2015.

In 2016 we hosted a Gaelic4Girls programme which had over 100 girls participate. We currently have teams from Nursery(U4/5) to Adult, with 9 players currently on Limerick county teams at U14, U16 and Minor levels.

Here is a poem for Hovex Tommy, composed by our LGFA club and county secretary Caroline Reidy:

Hovex Tommy flies the colours of Amber and Royal Blue, Of our Glorious club St.Senans standing proudly in Trap 2 .

Clonbrien Treaty and Bogger Lucky will hardly stand a chance, Hovex Tommy will over take them His tail is all they’ll glance!

As he speeds away In front of them Scaglietti in a daze, As Hovex Tommy once again going for glory in a blaze .

Gaytime Hugo may think he has it won, Hovex Tommy will have the last laugh , As he leaves poor Gaytime Hugo atin dust within his trap! Ryhope Beach will never stick the pace as Hovex Tommy overlaps him , The trophy is in sight now , Nothing is going to catch him!

Come one , come all on Friday night to Limerick Greyhound Stadium, The Con and Annie Kirby Memorial Stake is sure to entertain you ! Most importantly come and watch as Hovex Tommy sails on home and crosses the line in First place

....HOVEX TOMMY FOR THE GOLD !!!!

St.Senans Abú
