Looking forward to 2019

The Shamrocks have had a fantastic 2018, with successes in all codes at both the May and Eastern Canada tournaments, as well as our own Superleague tournaments going from strength to strength.
But now it’s time to look to the future, so we’d like to show you all the club calendar for 2019. It’s going to be a busy year, with the May Tournament and the Eastern Canadian Championships both happening on our doorstep this year.
And 2019 sees the return of the world games in Ireland, where the Shamrocks will look to be well represented, and if the last world championships are anything to go by, the craic will be mighty.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2019
