In 2023, White’s Cross GAA will compete in the Seandún (Cork City) Division Junior A hurling and football championships. Both teams will also compete in Division 1 of their respective leagues. Our second football team will play in Division 4 City Division football league.
Former Cork senior footballer Michael Prout (Shamrocks) will coach our adult football teams in 2023. John Desmond (Watergrasshill) will coach our adult hurling teams.
Our underage boys teams will play under the St. Colmcilles umbrella and will enter Rebel Óg East and North competitions at all age groups.
Girls under the age of 12 will play with White’s Cross Ladies Gaelic Football and camogie clubs as this section of the club continues to go from strength to strength. Girls over 12 will join the neighbouring Rockbán club.
Boys under the age of 10 will compete in blitzes, mini-tournaments and challenge games under the White’s Cross name.
