Welcome to The Green and White Website

Another school year draws to a close, action-packed and exciting for followers of Gaelic games. For some lucky boys and girls, a trip to Croke Park awaits to take part in the INTO Mini Sevens. Maybe Richie Bennis and his team will go one better than last year and end the long wait for Liam McCarthy.

Already over forty boys and girls have lined out in the green and white of Limerick in the Primary Go Games in Fermoy and Thurles. The Mackey Cup and the Neville Shield saw the cream of our young players display their talents. The Green and White talent scouts have noted names of players whom we reckon will don the Limerick colours in years to come.

There has never been a better time to be a young player. Cumann na mBunscol Luimnigh has organised over 1000 games for boys and girls since last September, not to mention coaching sessions, Go games blitzes, indoor hurling and camogie etc. With such groundwork and nurturing of young talent, surely the future is bright.

Finally, we are grateful to Dan Hickey and the Limerick Development Committee for their support, financial and otherwise, from issue No. 1 in 1996 to the present day. We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Limerick G.P.O.s and Fás who ensure that The Green and White reaches every school and club in Limerick. This distribution network is masterminded by Gerry Bennis of Limerick Gaelic Grounds.

Luimneach Abú!
