A very happy St Patrick's day to all!! ☘️

We were delighted to represent Gaelic games for Cambodia at the recent Irish Embassy event here in Phnom Penh.

Another event and another jersey for ambassador Deirdre Ní Fhallúin, who must now only wear gaa jerseys in her free time 😉

It always wonderful to catch up with our friends in the embassy as we look forward to continuing our strong relations throughout the year.

Building Industry & Education Connections📚👷

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to OHM Engineering Limited for their outstanding contribution to a recent STEM project at St. Mary’s Primary School, Aughnacloy. Delivered in partnership with MEGA and funded by the James Kane Foundation, this initiative brought real-world engineering directly into the classroom, helping to inspire the next generation from an early age🙌

OHM Engineering went above and beyond by designing, building, and donating a bespoke storage unit for the school’s outdoor area to complement their new lean-to. This generous contribution reflects not only their technical expertise, but also a strong commitment to supporting their local community and investing in future talent.
We are extremely grateful to the team at OHM for their support and for giving back in such a meaningful and practical way👏
