*** FunFit East Down GAA Shield Winners 2026 ***

Sacred Heart P.S. attended the FunFit East Down GAA knockout competition today at St John’s GAC. After a series of superb performances they emerged deserving Shield winners to cap off a wonderful outing from the boys.

First up the team navigated their way past a quarter final tussle with St Caolan’s P.S. Darragh Cross. Following on from this the side were clinical in a 3-04 to 0-01 semi final success over Bunscoil Bheanna Boirche, Castlewellan.

The final was set up to be a cracker with St Mary’s P.S. Newcastle being the opposition. Sacred Heart P.S. were 0-04 to no score up at halftime. The Newcastle lads came roaring into the contest with 1-01 to level it but the Dundrum representation weren’t to be denied as they outscored their opponents late on, 1-01 to 0-01, to win the contest 1-05 to 1-02.  

A huge congratulations goes to the team on this tremendous success. They now advance to the FunFit Down GAA Shield Final against Ballyholland P.S. (South Down winners) on Friday 22nd May (time and venue TBC).

Once again we thank Dundrum GAC Coaching Officer Ruairi McGuigan for his commitment to the development pf this group of players. Gratitude too is extended to parent Lisa Cunningham for assisting with transport to and from the venue.

Well done boys!
