Galway GAA: The 2018 Feile Hurling and Camogie Tournaments took place last weekend (June 8th – 10th) with 32 winners declared across the two codes.
The under 14s massive event witnessed over 600 games involving 250 teams and had matches played across Connacht, Westmeath and Longford including finals in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe, Athlone and Cusack Park, Mullingar.
Bekan was the central base for events with the majority of the finals taking place across its six fields on Sunday, 10th June while many other teams stopped off at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence on Saturday.
Galway had six winners but pride of place went to Turloughmore who added the National title to their two county victories. The north Galway parish beat Tipperary’s Durlas g 0-8 to 0-6 in the decider to become the county’s first Division 1 winners since their own success in 2010.
