FÉILE EVENT A MAJOR SUCCESS: Fr. Casey’s Bord na nOg U14 Boys and Fr Casey’s Ladies Football U14 Girls both took part in this year’s GAA National Féile Peil na nÓg Competition along with acting as a Host Club to both U14 South London Boys and U14 Con Magees Girls between June 24-26. With perfect weather adding to the already exciting atmosphere surrounding, what is in effect, the largest Youth Sporting Event in Europe this year, it turned out to be an amazing, fun-filled weekend for our Community and Club that was enjoyed by several hundred kids and adults alike from early morning to late evening for the 3 day event. However, no Event runs smoothly without the help and effort of all those throughout the Community to make it work and Fr Casey’s GAA would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all the following individuals;
Firstly, to the few Host Households that were on Emergency Standby throughout the whole weekend, it would not have been possible to run this event without knowing that you were always ready to take on some of the kids and/or the adults if the unforeseen had ever happened. Thank you very much indeed for your patience and willingness to be there.
To all the Host Families who had either visiting Boys or visiting Girls and for all the baking, washing, driving etc. that had to be done as part of that. We know you’ve all enjoyed it but a hugh thank you to all of you for everything you’d done to keep them happy and smiling.
To all the Staff and Committee Members who did so much behind the scenes to make this Event run smoothly, you really have promoted yourselves and Fr Casey’s in a wonderful light and proud you should be of it – Well done.
To the children from all sides, you have all done your families and clubs so proud. You are a real credit to all those that love you.
Such a success was this weekend and such was the feeling of appreciation from our visiting teams and clubs that several of our mentors, players and committee members have already been invited to spend some weekends with them.
Now that the Féile is over, Fr Casey’s are back concentrating on the process of creating an all-weather training and playing pitch and we hope to have this project completed by the end of this autumn. We are looking for as many Parents / Guardians / Supporters / Mentors as possible to help us out on our fundraising runs over the next few weeks so please get in contact with anyone from Fr Casey’s GAA and join our Fundraising Teams now – We need your HELP !
Remember, this will be of benefit to all age groups going forward and will help greatly when our youngsters are looking to train or play in more adverse weather conditions. To join our Fundraising Runs, meet us at the Clubhouse every Monday and Thursday evenings at 6.45pm.
We continue to respectfully remind all Parents / Guardians that due to increasingly strict Child Protection and Insurance Policies, that all registration and membership fees must be fully completed and paid for in advance by a responsible Parent or Guardian before any child is allowed to train or play. Also, be aware that all children who are training or playing must wear GAA approved Gum Shields; which can be purchased in all good Sport Shops.
In order for us to stay in touch with all age groups and all generations, Fr Casey’s Bord na nÓg have a number of Social Media accounts that anyone that follow.

ARTICLE WRITTEN BY ABBEYFEALE MAN IN THE IRISH TIMES FOLLOWING BREXIT VOTE IN UK: While the UK has chosen Leave in the EU referendum, voters in Northern Ireland and Scotland bucked the overall trend and voted Remain by a margin of 10 per cent greater than their English compatriots. Ominously, such a stark divergence in opinion between the Celtic countries and England means we may have witnessed the first step in the disintegration of the UK as we have known it for over 400 years.
In contrast, in 1975, it was the English who actually voted for the EC by a margin of 10 per cent greater than the Scottish and Northern Irish, who rejected the authority of the London government to act on their behalf, resented yet another foreign government controlling their lives and rebelled at the prospect of heavily-subsidised foreign farmers undercutting domestic farmers. Incredibly, that vote even registered the rare achievement of uniting most Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland against membership!
So, what has happened in the meantime to cause this dramatic Celtic transformation?
There are several factors.
First, in 1975, the Northern Irish and Scots saw the EC as a threat to British regional development aid. Back then, the EC had no regional development policy of note. Fast forward to 2016 and the EU now runs a comprehensive regional development fund with deep pockets, investing billions of pounds around the entire island of Ireland and in the most deprived parts of Scotland. Before 2020, Northern Ireland alone was due to get over twice the per capita EU regional development funding of England. Over the same period, Scottish and Irish farmers would have received three times and five times, respectively, the per capita compensation of their English counterparts from the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Second, since the 1970s, both Scotland and Northern Ireland voters have fought for, and won, limited autonomy, devolution, and their own national parliaments within a more flexible UK structure. Consequently, today, they enjoy a more autonomous and equal relationship with London. Counter intuitively, the EU has actually facilitated this devolution process. Before British membership, devolution provoked fear of disintegration in London. However, within the EU, London recognised that both it and the regions were united within a common European project, making domestic devolution less risky. Moreover, thanks to the EU’s deliberate engagement with regional political parties, both Scottish and Northern Irish parties actually gained political legitimacy and boosted their own local profile. This was an unforeseen positive consequence of membership.
Third, in Northern Ireland, where the Belfast Agreement of 1998 remains the guarantor of the still shaky co-operation between unionist and nationalist communities, shared EU membership of the UK and the Republic played a positive role. As partners in Europe since 1973, the daily and routine contact between Irish and British representatives in a neutral venue helped build the kind of trust lacking for decades and allowed both countries to engage as equal partners. Of course, the massive injection of EU peace-building money into Northern Ireland since 1995, approximately £1.3 billion to date, can only have helped too.
Fourth, the most successful Brexit argument, immigration control, failed to swing the Celtic voters. This is partly because the issue is not as provocative outside of England. Historically, the Scots and Irish have been forced to seek work abroad themselves for so many generations that the word “immigrant” there provokes a much more empathetic response there than it does in England.
Finally, many of the Irish and the Scots voted for the Remain camp on Thursday because, unlike their English counterparts, the present Celtic generation has become fundamentally more comfortable with the notion of belonging to at least two distinguishable cultural or political identities. If you start from the position of willingly accepting that you can be both Scottish and British, then it is not as awkward to add a third tier, European, to this identity mix. Devolution has certainly helped this process. In contrast, English and British identities are often seen as one and the same in England, where the Scottish and Irish notes of the British symphony are often drowned out.
In Northern Ireland, the specific sectarian divide muddies this theory somewhat but dual identity still holds for many there. For the Catholic population, who would reject the British label, this dual identity includes affinity with Catholics in the Irish Republic, a fellow EU member, not to mention the traditional religious link with Rome as an accepted “foreign” authority structure.
Given these transformations in Scotland and Northern Ireland since the 1970s, it is hardly surprising that the Celtic cavalry overturned their 1975 voting deficit with the English on Thursday. However, their ultimate failure to prevent the UK from stumbling over the Brexit cliffs of Dover will make for an awkward and unstable future within the British union.
