HARPS
Tir Conaill Harps is a community registered charity
which gives young people an opportunity to play
gaelic and celtic sports such as gaelic football,
hurling and camogie. They pride themselves on
welcoming members regardless of their ability
or age. The club is able to offer a wide range of
coaching and personal development opportunities
for its members.
The club is led by Chairman Maurice Friel who is
supported by Secretary Grace McBride and the club is
looking to progress under their guidance. They state
on their official website that their mission statement
is, “To strengthen communities in Glasgow through
the provision of gaelic sports for young people in an
affordable, safe and fun environment.”
Their men’s gaelic football team consists of 26
registered members that come from various countries.
They do however pride themselves upon having
a number of Scottish born players that have come
through their underage setup. This is vital because it
often helps supporters to relate to the club if there are
players from the local area. This should help more of
the community to get behind the team which will help
them to continue to be successful.

ISSUE 01
The club has certainly made a tremendous amount of
progress since they were recently able to celebrate
their 20th anniversary fun day. Everybody had a great
day in what was a fitting celebration of what they have
achieved and hopefully they will be able to continue in
the same manner for many years to come.
“To strengthen communities in
Glasgow through the provision
of gaelic sports for young people
in an affordable, safe and fun
environment.”
Their first team has put together a solid run of form
so far this time around, having compiled a record of 3
wins and 2 defeats from their 5 matches. They will have
been disappointed in their last 2 results however and
will be keen to bounce back as quickly as possible. So
long as they can do so they still have a good chance of
piecing together a successful campaign.
