GAA Rounders Shine at GAA Youth Forum in Croke Park

GAA Rounders Shine at GAA Youth Forum in Croke Park

Date: Saturday, 1 November 2025  |  Venue: Croke Park GAA Rounders enjoyed a brilliant day at the GAA Youth Forum, meeting hundreds of young people and showcasing the skill, fun, and inclusivity at the heart of the game. From first whistle to last, our stand was buzzing.

Craig Davis, Aidan Lynskey & Matt Kelly Lead from the Front

Huge credit to Craig Davis , Aidan Lynskey & Matt Kelly, who were on the stand all day—coaching throws and catches, answering questions, and keeping spirits high. They spoke with hundreds of young people eager to try Rounders, start school teams, or bring the game back to their clubs.
“The energy was class. So many new faces wanting to pick up a bat and give it a go—exactly what the sport is about.” Craig Davis

What the Youth Forum Delivered

  • Interactive workshops on decision-making, resilience, empathy, and volunteering.
  • Panel discussions featuring association presidents and players across the codes.
  • GAA Youth Congress—debates and proposals that will inform the GAA Youth Committee report to Congress 2026.
Rounders stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the LGFA, Handball, and the Camogie Association—another sign of our sport’s growing profile in the wider GAA family.
