Week 1 of Monaghan GAA Kelloggs Cul Camps got off to a great start in Emyvale and Inniskeen with 300 children participating in Gaelic Games for the week. In spite of the new Covid 19 restrictions at our camps, coaches, parents, children and host clubs all seemed to cope very well.

Monaghan County Board and Coaching staff would like to sincerely thank both Emyvale and Inniskeen club for their assistance in delivering the camps this week. In particularly providing volunteers to assist with the traffic plan that was in place every morning and afternoon at the camps. In addition to this we would also like to thank the parents, children, Club Covid supervisors/Contact, coaches and camp co-ordinators who participated in ensuring the camps went well for all involved.
