Fitzmaurice will aim higher when next final arrives

Gaelic games is a participation sports at its broadest base.

It was founded in Hayes Hotel ‘to protect Irish culture’ with the idea that every Irish citizen would be able to freely participate and enjoy the sport. Nowadays thousands of men, women and children gain benefit from those who facilitate our games.

At a higher level there is competition. Participation is for the primary schools, it’s all about taking part. Competition is what drives people to excel and achieve. It’s what teaches discipline, forces people to accept defeat and win with humility. Competition is the cornerstone of all sport, business and life.
