Fallon third in All Ireland Hurling Poc Fada Final

Killian Fallon, a student at St Brigid’s College, Loughrea, came third in the U16 2022’s GAA All Ireland Hurling Poc Fada Final, on Bank Holiday Monday, 1 August 2022, which was held in the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth.

Speaking at the launch of the 2022 Martin Donnelly Poc Fada finals Ard Stiúrthóir CLG, Tom Ryan said:

“Gaelic games give us a link to our history and heritage and this is especially true of the Poc Fada. Over the beautiful but challenging course of the Annavernagh mountains, hurlers and camogie players get to continue a tradition that we trace back to Setanta and beyond. I thank Martin Donnelly for his continued support of this competition and the organising committee for their commitment to maintaining this tradition and wish everyone the very best out on the mountain course in the coming weeks.”
