Founded in 1965, Simonstown Gaels fields adult and juvenile teams in gaelic football and ladies football ... follow to keep up-to-date with all the club news.
Everyone here in Simonstown Gaels would like to congratulate Colm O'Rourke on the announcement of his new role as
@MeathGAA
Manager! We wish Colm and his background team all the best going forward in this very exciting chapter for Meath football.
All GAA Lads & Ladies. Keep an eye around all clubhouses if you see this lad . He broke into Clanna Gael last week, he got wallets, car keys and phones. He drove off in one of the cars. Vincent’s was done the other night aswell so pass onto as many people in clubs as possible.
What a teammate Kelsey Nesbitt is. Consoling Emma Duggan after yesterday's victory. The two are teammates on the Meath ladies senior team and the picture shows the true class of Nesbitt.

What incredible resilience Michael Gavin showed on Wednesday night. Gavin only found out before the game that his grandmother had passed away. He captained the Simonstown under 19s to victory.
Late on with the game in the melting pot today,
@NiallKane3
dived on a loose ball to secure possession. In doing so he won the ball but also suffered a broken arm. His act of bravery was crucial in winning the game. We wish Niall a speedy recovery.
