Give Scotland's Young Gaelic Footballers the Competitions They Deserve

Across all our age groups, from our youngest players to our U17 boys and U18 girls, our young athletes train with extraordinary dedication. The problem? Competitive Gaelic football at youth level is scarce in Scotland. A handful of clubs exist in Glasgow, but they are our only local rivals, and that leaves our players with very little to play for at home. Your sponsorship sends them to Birmingham, Manchester, London, Ireland and beyond.

Who We Are

Dunedin Óg: Gaelic Football in the Heart of North Edinburgh

We are the youth section of Dunedin Connollys GAA a community sports club based in Granton, one of the most economically challenged parts of Edinburgh. Our goal is simple: give every child in North Edinburgh access to Gaelic football in a safe, welcoming environment built on respect, equality and inclusion.

Over the past eight years, we have grown from a small group of passionate kids into a club of 150 young athletes spanning multiple age groups, from nursery right up to U17 boys and U18 girls. Every single one of them deserves the chance to compete.

The Challenge

Exceptional Dedication. Nowhere Local to Play.

Across our age groups, our players show up week after week with genuine dedication. But Gaelic football is a minority sport in Scotland. There are simply not enough youth teams locally for competitive fixtures at any age group, and for our older girls in particular the problem is most acute. To play at the level they have earned, the whole club has to travel.

🏋️‍♀️

Training 4 to 5 Times a Week

Our U16 and U18 girls in particular show up session after session with a commitment that rivals any professional academy. The same is true of our U17 boys and younger age groups. They are ready. The pitch is just far away.

📍

No Local Competition

There are simply not enough Gaelic football teams at any youth age group in Scotland. Our U18 girls face the sharpest shortage, but our U17 boys and younger teams all feel it. To play competitive matches, we must travel across the UK and to Ireland.

💷

A Volunteer-Run Club on a Shoestring

We run entirely on membership subs and volunteer goodwill. Annual subs do not cover travel costs, and every year we operate at a shortfall. Sponsorship is the difference between going and staying home.

🌍

A Once-in-a-Lifetime European Opportunity

This year we have a chance to take one of our teams to a European tournament, an experience that will stay with them for life. We cannot do it without your help.

Straight from the Players

What Gaelic Football Means to Them

Gaelic is fun, keeps me active and is a great sport to learn. There are quite a few tournaments which give you the opportunity to play competitively against other players.

Dunedin Óg Player

I LOVE Gaelic football! I train three times a week and I can't wait to see my friends at every training. I've gotten so much better and I feel so confident in tournaments now.

Dunedin Óg Player

Gaelic football is interesting and a fun sport. I like being in a team with my friends.
