Principal Maighréad NíChonghaile from Gaelscoil Éanna explained the delight of the children at the prospect of getting regular matches. With many of the children already playing with local GAA club St Enda’s, the high level of skill was evident for all to see.

During perfect conditions at Casement's GAC the girls from the local school picked up the silverware for the sixth year in a row when they won the Allianz Cumann Na mBunscol 7 a Side Camogie competition.

Young Antrim stars grace Ballybofey and Croke Park
Well done to all the young Antrim footballers who took part in the half time game at the weekend  against their counterparts from Donegal. The talent on show was very promising and hopefully some day some these young men will wear the Antrim colours at senior level.

Well done to all the young Antrim hurlers who took part in the half time game at the recent Leinster Senior Championship game against Dublin.  They will surely remember this day for the rest of their lives playing in Croke Park.  Lets hope they can play again there in the future.

 

         
 

Pictures from the most recent Annual Friendship Cumann na mBunscol Games

Some of the future stars of Gaelic Games in Belfast and Dublin took to the field at Casement Park on Friday 5th June, for a series of games sponsored by Club Aontroma. This programme of games goes back to the 1930s and has featured many children who have gone on to represent their respective counties with distinction.

There were a sequence of competitive games with Dublin finishing on top in camogie, hurling and girls’ football, with Belfast winning in boys’ football and handball.

The children were graced by the presence of the newly elected Lady Mayoress of Belfast, Naomi Long, who presented medals and threw the slíothar in to begin the hurling.
The pupils in this Cumann na mBunscol inner-city challenge displayed an excellent array of skills and hopefully many will go on to represent their counties in the future.

Welcome to the Cumann -na mBunscol Aontroim website that will be accessible by the teachers and pupils of the schools we both serve and represent.  We will update the site with results which will enable schools to monitor their own progress.  

We will endeavour to make the site as user friendly as possible.  Any suggestions to improve the site are most welcome.

Our Mission

In Antrim  we have a thriving and vibrant Cumann which serves almost 70 primary schools in the county.  The Cumann exists through the hard work and efforts of teachers past and present, to ensure Gaelic sports flourishes in the county. 

We want boys and girls to participate in the full range of Gaelic games and hopefully through our work, to enjoy the competitive yet fun aspect of sport, to realise their own sporting potential and enjoy the honour of representing their schools in the leagues and in inter-county matches.  

Hopefully through the work of Cumann na mBunscol Aontroim, we are sowing the seeds for future county successes.
