They have a GoFundMe link on their insta; thank you for sharing!
Go on the lads!
They’ll win all Irelands before Waterford and mayo
Cool. Must make my local club aware of this.
>Walsh says there was no Irish involvement in the club for two years until they got in touch with the GAA.
Ye love to see it grow organically and people outside of Ireland take an interest in it

His father’s from Kampala, his mother’s from Mbarara. Neither a hurling stronghold.
Great idea, I’d say there’s a heap of unused gear that could be sent that way.
I heard this on the radio the other day, what really got me was that they started off by making hurls out of mahogany. There’d be some slap off that!
That. Is. Awesome. Well done to all of them! Surely many clubs here would be delighted to send over some equipment they don’t need?
Am I missing the information on how to donate those items in the article?
The Ugandans, a great bunch of lads
Uganda be kidding me.
UNREAL. Love this
Did Dublin bayt Kampala after lads?
