CORK GAA INVITES CLUBS FROM ALL OVER CORK TO TAKE PART IN SECOND ANNUAL CLEAN-UP DAY
Deadline for applications is Wednesday, April 2nd
Cork GAA has confirmed details of this year’s Community Clean-Up Day which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 12th. This follows the success of last year’s inaugural event which saw 3,000 participants from almost 100 clubs take part.
Cork GAA is the first County Board in the country to undertake such an initiative on this scale and is hoping to increase the number of participants this year. Each club collected an average of 12 to 15 bags of waste last year, consisting mainly of drink cups, wrappers, packaging, plastic bottles, cigarette butts and some green waste.
The Cork GAA Community Clean-Up Day, which is supported by An Taisce, Tidy Towns and Cork City and County Councils, is open to players, coaches, officials and supporters of all ages. Cork GAA is calling on all hurling, football, camogie and ladies football clubs to don their colours and get involved, with applications closing on Wednesday, April 2nd.
This year’s initiative also sees regional recycling companies get involved, with Panda Recycling, KWD Recycling, Country Clean Recycling and Wiser Recycling collecting the gathered litter directly from club facilities. All participating clubs will be provided with litter pickers, gloves, bags and hi-vis vests.
Enda Buckley, Chair of Cork GAA Sustainability Committee said: “This year’s Cork GAA Community Clean-Up Day aligns with the National Spring Clean Initiative and we are hoping as many clubs as possible from around Cork will take part. It’s more than rolling up our sleeves and making our local community a cleaner place – last year, we saw excellent volunteerism across communities and great collaboration within clubs, especially underage teams. The aim this year is to grow the number of clubs taking part to over 100 and we welcome all ages to put on their jersey and take part on April 12th. It’s important to register by April 2nd so that we can get all the necessary equipment to your club on time.”
The event is part of Cork GAA’s Sustainability Vision and, with a goal of collecting and properly disposing of large volumes of waste, it aims to foster a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone to enjoy.

Sarsfields GAA Club to celebrate unveiling of memorial statue to Teddy McCarthy
Sarsfields Hurling Club is delighted to announce that a memorial statue of the late Teddy McCarthy will be unveiled on Saturday April 5th, 2025, at 3.30pm at Sarsfields’ grounds in Riverstown.
A plaque that records Teddy’s most notable achievements will also be displayed, together with bronze Sam Maguire Cup and Liam McCarthy Cup replicas, reflecting Teddy’s unique achievement in 1990 with Cork, as the first and only male player to win both senior hurling and football All-Ireland medals in the one year.
This event is the culmination of a lot of hard work and support from our community. We would like to thank our sponsors, donors, fellow GAA clubs, and all who supported our fundraising events over the last 18 months. We would also like to thank the relevant bodies that provided substantial grants to help fund the project. This achievement would not be possible without the generosity and support of all concerned.
Following approval from the Sarsfields membership at our recent club AGM, we are also pleased to announce that the Sarsfields ground will be renamed Páirc Tadhg MacCárthaigh as a further tribute to Teddy.
The unveiling event will be an historic day, where we will commemorate a man who gave his life to Sarsfields and the GAA, and we are looking forward to this wonderful occasion.
The statue will available to the public to view at Sarsfields Hurling Club from 4pm on Saturday April 5th, and all are welcome.
