Welcome to The Green and White Website

Another school year has come and gone. The end of a school year is a time to look forward with hope. It’s also a time to reflect on the many happy memories of the past year. And that’s exactly what we do in issue number 39 of The G&W.

GAA 125
It’s a significant year in the GAA world. 125 years young and meeting new challenges every day. Clubs and schools have marked this milestone in all kinds of different and innovative ways. We read about some of them in this issue and, in doing so, we get an insight into life as a goalkeeper on the Limerick Senior Hurling panel from Mungret’s David Bulfin. We also meet some famous Golden Oldies and not-so-oldies who reminisce about their lives in the GAA.

C’MON CAMÁN
We also meet a young Limerick star. David Wixted of Crecora NS not alone won a Sarsfield Cup medal with East Limerick this year but he also achieved fame when he was the overall winner of RTE’s hurling series, “C’mon Camán”. David shares his never-to-be-forgotten memories with readers of “The Green and White” in this issue.

ROLL OF HONOUR
Also in this issue, we look back on a hectic term on the playing fields. East Limerick added the Mackey Cup to the Sarsfield Cup. West Limerick retained the Eithne Neville Cup without conceding a score.

MAGNIFICENT SEVENS!
The INTO Mini Sevens were as exciting as ever with a large number of schools competing. Boys and girls from the winning schools will get the opportunity to play in Croke Park on All-Ireland semi-final or final day.

STAR SUNDAY PRIMARY GAME
The Primary Game jersey is the most sought-after fashion item among young followers of Gaelic Games. This year is no exception. The chance to wear the Limerick jersey in Semple Stadium on Munster Championship day is given to very few but, in 2009, 44 boys and girls achieved this honour before the month of June was out.

No doubt many of them will wear the Limerick jersey on other auspicious occasions in the future.

Luimneach Abú!
