There was unrestrained joy for the girls of
Claregalway at the John West Féile Peile na nÓg finals at the Connacht GAA
Centre of Excellence at Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo on Sunday.
The Galway club celebrated the capture of the Girls
Division 1 Cup competition.
They enjoyed a powerful victory over Dublin’s
Clontarf who failed to raise a flag throughout.
The John West Féile na nGael Under-14 Gaelic
football finals took place over a hectic weekend of action across Connacht.

host to over 850 games at 200 venues.
The weekend marked the biggest John West Féile ever
with over 350 teams participating.
Boys and girls teams from all over Ireland competed
regionally to win a coveted place at the finals weekend.
This is the fourth year that natural protein experts
John West have sponsored the underage tournament, the biggest of its kind in
Europe.
