Munich Colmcilles GAA

The whole Munich Colmcilles community are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Pat Stakelum.

Our club could not have asked for a more dedicated or genuine member than Pat. He was always there to lend a helping hand, and no task was ever too big or too small. Pat played a huge role in building the club into what it is today, working tirelessly in the background and never seeking recognition for his efforts.

Pat was a kind, selfless, witty, and gentle soul, immensely proud of his family both in Munich and in Thurles. A great storyteller, he brought warmth and laughter wherever he went, and we will cherish the many wonderful memories we shared in his company.

He supported the Munich Colmcilles in every way possible and was a truly loyal and valued member - the kind every club hopes for.

Pat will always be remembered within Munich Colmcilles and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

We wish to express our heartfelt condolences to Christopher, Daniela, Frank, Robert, Noel, Conor and all of the extended Stakelum family.

German Cup Hurling Champions 2026 🏆

We are so delighted to share that for the second year in a row, our Munich Hurlers are defending champions of the Chris Hennessy German Cup 🇩🇪

Not only did we come away with the win but our own Thomas won MVP of the tournament, very well deserved 👏🏻🏅

We had 17 players representing Munich at the tournament and they all did us extremely proud, each player contributing a huge amount to each game and showing skill and determination right until the final whistle.

Munich excelled during the group stages, putting lots of points on the board early on.
I think a lot of people will agree, that the semi final vs was fantastic to watch and an absolute nail biter right until the end with Munich getting a late goal and finishing 1 point up!
Our Hurlers ended the day strong with a convincing win over Hamburg.

A big thanks and shoutout all the teams, each putting in big performances every game!

It was an absolute fantastic day and thanks so much to for the great organisation and hospitality!

Munich GAA travels to Annaghdown 🇮🇪

Our Camogie and Hurling team were delighted to be invited to Annaghdown in Galway last bank holiday weekend.

For some of our members, it was their first time playing on Irish soil 🇮🇪 Between the sun and rain every 10 minutes, they really got the full Irish experience☀️☔️

Big shout out to who also travelled over! Our ladies teamed up together and gave Annaghdown a run for their money.
It was great to see both teams kitted out and representing Germany in Ireland - a real showcase of the talent and skill growing across Europe

Thanks so much to the organisers, volunteers and players in who were so welcoming. Our members had a fantastic weekend and we are so delighted and honoured to have taken part in the day.

And of course a huge thank you to our members Kellie, Cathal and Thomas who were fantastic to organise everything during the weekend!
