Tír Conaill Harps

Tir Conaill Harps is the biggest Gaelic football club in Scotland in terms of structure and has a fully integrated youth system fielding teams for all age groups.Tír Conaill Harps is a community based registered charity which provides opportunities for young and old people to play and enjoy the Gaelic football.Mission Statement - To strengthen communities in Glasgow through the provision of Gaelic Sports for young people in an affordable, safe, and fun environment.The club is traditionally linked with Glasgow's South side and played their Gaelic football home games at the GAA-owned Pearse Park in Cambuslang.The Park was the first GAA sports field in Glasgow and was made possible by the efforts of Eoin "Owenie" Kelly from County Fermanagh.After the GAA condemned the park for health and safety reasons, the club moved to Nethercraigs Sports Complex, Corkerhill using a rugby pitch.However, the Harps were unable to match their previous success having to wait a further four years before lifting another trophy when they won the 2006 Michael Davitt Shield.With the Harps dominating the game and leading by 11 points early in the second half, thanks to two quick goals from the restart, Dunedin Connolly's soon started a comeback.Things had been looking bright for the harps, but with the loss of some key players the club failed to build on the success of that championship win.A committee was set up headed by one of Tir Conaill Haprs founding members Tommy Main and a five-year development plan was put in place to help the club get back to where it belonged.So in 2021 the club pushed forward the promotion of new ladies team, and worked tirelessly to recruit players for the upcoming season.
