Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Ladies Junior Championship - Round 2

Our Junior ladies put in a fantastic performance as they bounced back and overcame a strong Éire Óg team.

From the first whistle, the girls showed great determination to put right the minor mistakes from the previous week’s loss.

Their work rate and commitment were evident throughout, with impressive running from Róisín Daly, Louise Rowland, Emma O’Grady, Shawna Bradley and Rhea Casey. Their movement and ability to find space created scoring opportunities from all areas of the field and kept the Éire Óg defence under constant pressure.

At the other end, the defence stood firm and proved incredibly difficult to break down. Katie McEniff, Becky Fitzgerald, Rachel Kane and Aisling Murphy were rock solid throughout, forming a brick wall that limited Éire Óg’s scoring chances and laid the foundation for a deserved victory.

A tremendous team performance all round and a well-earned win for the girls.

As we have such a huge panel and squad for the junior team, our extended panel, joined and cheered on the ladies during the game.

Great to see that support 💚💛

Our ladies travel to Victoria on Saturday July 25, where Van Isle host.

Schedule for the week.

Best of luck to our Senior ladies who face St Finnians tonight.

And get ready for our Annual Spikeball Tournament this Thursday! 😉💪🏽☀️

☀️ Annual Spikeball Tournament ☀️

Join us next Thursday, June 25 at Jericho beach as we get together for the most dramatic and competitive event of the year, spikeball.

Last year we had 20 teams battle it out for their chance to become ISSC Spikeball Champions, and this year we’re aiming for bigger and better.

If you don’t know how to play, we will explain the game and how it works. 💪🏽😉

Teams will be assigned on the day and the tournament will kick off at 6:30pm sharp.

Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Men’s Junior Championship - Round 2

The Junior Footballers made it 2 wins from 2, with a last penalty to come out victorious on Wednesday evening against a strong and determined Eire Og.

The lads had a tough start with Eire Og on top for the first 10 – 15 minutes, the lads turned the table getting two goals in the first half, coming from Barry Collins and Stephen McCluskey.

Mick Fitzpatrick should have had Strava on during the game, as the man did not stop running from “the offset and throughout” as they’d say in the movies, a fantastic leader showing why he was named captain for the year.

A colossal performance once again from TJ Fox in midfield, contributing in terms of scores and some impressive aerial duels. Ronan Treacey was his cohort in Midfield, adding to the scoresheet with a late left footed free when the lads needed it most.

Nick Fitz took man marking to a whole new level, keeping a pacy wing back that was causing the lads all sorts of hardship at the start quiet for the remainder of the game.

But the man who deserves all the praise is non other than Barry Collins, a man on a mission, knocking over scores, as well as having the nerve to step up to the last kick of the game to dispatch a penalty sealing the deal for the lads.

The boys have a long break now before their next game on July 25th vs Van Isle down in Victoria.

Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Ladies Junior Championship - Round 1

Our Junior ladies kicked off their season on Thursday night with a repeat of last years final vs Fraser Valley.

The game was to quite exciting with both sides battling out in all areas across the pitch.

Both teams defended excellently and made it very difficult to get any shots in. With both Becky’s in the backline leading the line.

Shauna O’Callaghan, Kat Wynne and Emma O’Grady covered a lot of ground in the midfield roles.

ISSC took our points well, despite the incredible defensive structure.

Our Ladies team had many players make their official Championship debut since joining this year. 🙌🏼👏🏼

Rhea Casey played a big part in this game and ended up winning ISSCs bear of the week 🧸

This was a small blip in the road, and last year our ladies journey started with a loss against Van isle and the team turned it around, so plenty to work towards 💪🏽

We’re looking forward to the next game vs Eire Og and hoping to get some points on the board in the junior table.

Thank you to Elaine Johnson and Grainne Warren for their assistance on the sideline. 👏🏼

Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Ladies Senior Championship - Round 2

Our Senior ladies faced their oldest rival last Saturday, Fraser Valley.

Despite a slow start and going a goal down within the first few minutes, our ladies began to build momentum and started to settle down during this fierce encounter.

The midfield pairing Sarah Hourigan and Sarah Fabris were a driving through the centre keeping shape.

We held a fortress in the back line with Nicole Rooney, Lorraine Muckian, Tara Kelly and Ellen Atkinson who broke down the valleys attacking plays.

Saoirse Moore and Louise Brennan were on target, finding the back of the net and kept the scores coming.

A great team performance overall, with lots of our new players getting in their game time and into the swing of things for the year.

That’s 2/2 for the defending champions. Their next game against powerhouse St Finnians in a few weeks time.

Congratulations to the team and management on their win.

Vancouver GAA Championship 2026 - Men’s Junior Championship - Round 1

Our junior men’s kicked off their season last night with an epic opener vs Fraser Valley.

Both sides started off strong and the game was fairly match strength for strength.

Josh Fallon, Eamon Quinn and TJ Fox slotted home some impressive 2pters, which is something newly introduced this year, so both teams were getting in decent scores from the arc.

Captain Mick Fitz and Vice Captain Nick Fitz, both getting on the score sheet from the back line.

Stephen McCluskey and Killian Leonard were giving the Valley defence a lot to do, but they couldn’t hold off for long as Killian scored a crucial goal to edge the lads out.

A special extra shoutout to John Kelly for an impressive defensive stint in the backline. 👏🏼

Big shoutout to .hoban, the junior coach for getting the lads set and ready for action 👏🏼

The lads face Eire Og in the next Junior round on Wednesday June 10 at 7:30pm.
