Our third FREE parent seminar is coming. This session is focussed on understanding how your child games and how to keep them safe online.

Gaming is a significant part of most young people’s lives now, and our aim is to help making sense of it: not to necessarily discourage it, but to help you connect with it, identify what’s healthy, and know what to look out for.

📅 Monday 21st September
⏰ 6pm (Irish Time)
📍 In person at the NEC …or join us online!
🎟️ Registration is required but it’s FREE to attend

Whether you came to a session before or this is your first time, you are very welcome. There will be open Q&A at the end as always to help on specific topics.

Link to register in bio or simply DM for additional information.

*QUALIFIED | GLOBAL ESPORTS GAMES*

Over the weekend, 28 drivers hit the track competing for 10 elusive qualification slots to LA 2026. Two Grand Prix races across the European Region in iRacing determined the final qualifiers — Saturday’s race at Virginia International Speedway (full course), followed by Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Sean McClements took to the track representing Team Ireland against a stacked grid both days, packed with professional drivers. He kept pace, pushed through, and held his nerve throughout — finishing Top 10 in both races to lock in his ticket to LA.

We couldn’t be more proud of the young man from Dunlop, County Antrim.

Stay tuned for more as Sean prepares to represent Ireland on the global stage! 🏁

Full of confidence stepped up again to secure our place at LA | This time in efootball Open featuring Stephen Ruth and efootball Women featuring Nollaig O’Donnell.

It was heartbreaking weekend as both missed out on qualification but by the finest margins in every competitive game. We know the time, effort and commitment involved. We celebrate their competitive spirit and know representing Ireland for both of them has been a significant achievement. Thank you both! 💚

Well played to all teams involved.

Another stacked single elimination group but this time it was Counter Strike.

Team Ireland took a confident WIN against Great Britain 🇬🇧 on Saturday. But a strong Sweden 🇸🇪 awaited on Sunday and it was Sweden who ultimately took the victory and secured the ONE European qualification spot to LA 🇺🇸| GGWP.

This one felt that it was within reach and only respect for the players involved plus those behind the scenes! 💚
