Connacht Cup 2026 ✅🖤💛

What a brilliant day of rounders at the Connacht Cup in Liam Mellows GAA Club!

It was fantastic to be able to enter two Galway City Rapparees teams, GCR Black & Yellow and GCR Pink Pony Club, and even better to see both sides play so competitively throughout the day.

Both teams made it all the way to the Shield final, with Black & Yellow coming out on top. Captained by Jessie Pereira. It’s not often you get to see two teams from the same club face each other in a final, and it was a proud moment for everyone involved! 🏆

A huge well done to all our players for the effort, teamwork and encouragement throughout the day. The Connacht Cup is always a great opportunity to try out different combinations, welcome newer players and enjoy a day of rounders with clubs from across the province.

A big thank you to Martin, Mark & Shirley and Connacht GAA Rounders, for organising the competition, to Liam Mellows GAA Club for hosting, and to all the referees who helped make the day possible. 👏

Congratulations to Erne Eagles and Athenry on their final wins, and a special well done to Clontuskert on taking part in their first competitive competition. It’s brilliant to see a new club come so far in such a short time! 💚💛

A great day for Connacht rounders and a great day for the Rapparees! 🖤💛
