Dulwich Harps
Dulwich Harps would like to pass on its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Joe Fryday who sadly passed away last week.
Joe was who was a member of Dulwich Harps was also president of the London Ladies Football association and was a key figure in supporting and promoting Gaelic games for Ladies in London and wider afield.
He was great supporter of Dulwich Harps and was most recently out at our fundraiser for Ladies player Siobhan McCann in Greenford last October. He was one of the true characters in the GAA circle in London and he will be sorely missed.

We are happy to announce our next social event, which will be working with Glasgow’s St Patrick’s Festival:
THE BIG IRISH QUIZ.
Tuesday 12th March 7:30 pm @Malones Glasgow.
£2 Entry.
Teams will be a maximum of 6 people.
We are all looking forward to the Primary school tournament we are Running at Toryglen Football Centre on Wednesday morning.
This is something we hope will hope promote Gaelic Football in Glasgow and as part of our 3 year plan we hope to expand the tournament.
Good luck to all the pupils at St Fillans, St Mirins, John Paul II & St Josephs , but more importantly we hope you have fun.
We are running a Foundation coaching course on Saturday @ Holyrood Secondary school and we would love as many people as possible to take part.
This could be the only one this year.
You don’t have to have any experience coaching to do this.
Ideally we would love to have as many coaches as possible at every underage session so the more people who have this qualification, the better. Even if you can’t commit to coaching regularly we would still be keen to see you participate in this course.
Throughout our history we have always had coaches without playing experience so don’t let that stop you if you’re interested in helping out (some of our best coaches had never played before).
Anyone wanting to do the level 1 course has to do this course first.
Youth Gaelic Football training is on Friday from 6:10pm – 7:30pm @ Merrylee Primary School, Friarton Road, G43 2PR
All children from Primary 1 through to Secondary School are welcome to come along to try Gaelic Football, 1st month free. Call or text Christina on 07977449497 for further information.
