Féile na nGael Hurling - Laois/Offaly 2009
After a very successful Laois/Offaly Féile na nGael in 2008, the 39th Coca-Cola festival of hurling returned to Offaly/Laois for 2009. June 19th, 20th and 21st saw Offaly GAA Clubs host visiting clubs from all over Ireland and the UK. In 2008, Celbridge (Kildare) were a most welcome visitor to Ferbane/Belmont and we thoroughly enjoyed their company and their hurling for the weekend. In 2009 we welcomed the Derry Champions Robert Emmets, Slaughtneil to Offaly and to Moystown.

Féile na nÓg Football - Kildare 2009

Kildare Féile na nÓg 2009 Official Website: http://www.feilechilldara2009.ie/

On Saturday, April 26th, Ferbane/Belmont retained their Offaly Féile na nÓg title beating Shanrocks in an exciting final by 4 points. (1-4 to 0-3). They will now represent Offaly once again as Féile champions in Kildare on the weekend of July 3rd, 4th and hopefully the 5th as well. After last years one-point defeat to the eventual Division 2 winners Aghamore from Mayo, the lads will be trying to go one step further in 2009. Best of luck to all the team and managers, Gary Rigney, Johnny Fleming and Ronan Cassidy.
Our Féile Chill Dara hosts were Eadestown GAA Club. Eadestown is about 6 miles from Naas on the road to Blessington. Many thanks to Eadestown Club and host families for giving us an unforgettable weekend. The team performed very well as Offaly champions only losing a single match to the eventual group winners, Celbridge (our old friends from Féile na nGael 2008).
