Just a quick email to say thanks for what was a great part of our weekend! We were all really impressed with the day and the insight to what we have now found to be some superb gaelic games!
Your hospitality and enthusiasm was second to none and i would recommend it to anyone else who was looking for an event while in Dublin.
The group had a great time and we ended up getting a ferry home due to the volcanic ash which topped off a brilliant weekend.
Once again thanks for all your hospitality and the best of luck as your a great group of people.
All the best

Our session in the hands of the Experience Gaelic Games team was one of the real highlights of our tour to Dublin. Our playing squad and coaching team were fantastically well looked after from the moment we were met on arrival right through to the presentation at the end. The purpose built clubhouse and pitches, enthusiastic and professional coaches are a must visit for any group looking to try a new sport – A hidden gem
Hope to see you again
Kind Regards

Thanks to Georgina & the lads for putting up with the English-lads for Jon Lloyds Stag weekend. Great photos, wonderful homely at atmosphere with guinness & sarnies at half time! what could be better. Hope the Gaelic sports go olympic & international, great fun!
We were group of ‘fiftysomething ladies from England, Germany and Holland, looking to try out something unique to Ireland during our visit to Dublin. The hospitality was excellent, and the coach was just perfect, with lots of enthusiasm and patience. We had lots of laughs and just enough gentle excercise to make sure we had planty of fresh air.
A super way to experience Irish culture and heritage. well done!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Georgina, Cormack and everyone else at Experience Gaelic Games on saturday. Myself and the others guys had a fantastic time learning about the sports that are such an important part of Irish culture and heritage.
The facilities were excellent and the enthusiasm from the staff was great, even when faced with six bleary eyed hungover fellas.
Thanks again.
From the girls and I at More House School London thank you so much for such a fun filled day. It was the girl’s first time learning about Irish sports and they really enjoyed it! So much so that I have now set up a Gaelic football team for them!
The girls were over in Dublin for a sports tour and no better way to finish off our weekend! Georgina and the staff were all so friendly and passionate and were happy for us to stay as long as we wanted!
I would definitely recommend this to any group coming over to Ireland. My school girls are already requesting that we go again next year!
Thanks guys!!
On behalf of Heriot’s Rugby Football Club Edinburgh, a big thank you to Georgina and the gang for a fabulous time on Sunday. I brought 13 curious 11 year old boys and 7 eager Dads to Na Fianna and we had a great time. We all loved the experience of trying gaelic football, hurling and handball. – so much so that we headed to Croke Park afterwards to watch Dublin vs Cork in the gaelic football league final!
Our mini-tour was not just about playing rugby, but trying new sports and experiencing a different culture. We certainly got that with ‘Experience Gaelic Games’. Our hosts made us most welcome. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this lovely evening that all our team spend with you.
We think is has been the best team building that have so far and we had a really good evening all together.
The monitor that expend with us all the evening was really patient with us and with all our jokes
It was really funny next day at the office when no member of the team could walk properly because we were so stiff.
Thank you so much for this evening again!!!
I was part of the ‘Teapot Man’ stag do that visited the club. What a fantastic experience run by knowledgeable and really friendly people as part of a great, welcoming set up. Really appreciate what technically difficult games both hurling and gaelic footy are, while amazing fun to do. Teapot Man is considering selling you his image rights so you can use him on your club badges and merchandise!! We all got a great deal out of the visit and now you guys can!!!
A massive THANK YOU, to Georgina and her team for an amazing introduction to the world of gaelic games!
What great hosts, and there knowledge & professionalism was admirable!
We were there as part of a stag do, and it was a complete success all round.
cheers.

Hi Georgina,
Just a note so say thanks soooooooooooo much for an amazing time on saturday. To be honest, I was struggling to get 18 lads into the mood for sport after a night at ‘coppers’ but you and the guys properly kicked them into shape! Absolutely brilliant service, excellent organisation and relaxed, friendly coaching. The pitches were superb to play on and it was great getting to know two new team sports. Loved both Gaelic footie and hurling, but seriously wished i was better at hurling! It seems like it’ll be an amazing sport when you know what you’re doing! My hamstrings feel like treetrunks this morning but that is my own fault and nothing that a pint of guinness wont cure! I know that some of the youngsters on pitch side will be missing mr teapot man by now so if you need any signed photos just let me know! Thanks once again. Dave Cox
Georgina/Guys,
We had such a brilliant day. We didn’t know quite what to expect but little did we realise what a pleasant surprise we were in for.
Our sides hurt so much from laughing by the end of the day!!! The personal touches you put to the day made it so special for my sister (the hen).
The facilities you had were excellent. We all thought we were pro’s by the time we were leaving.
Thank you so so much!!! You’re brilliant. I totally recommend this for a hen party(or any other excuse you can think of to go)!!!!
Love, the Dublin Hen party
We visited Na Fianna and had a tremendous time experiencing the Gaelic Specialities: Gaelic Football, Hurling and Celi Dance! The coaches were great, and we had great fun playing against each other. The service and friendliness made us feel perfectly at home, and we’ll recommend this to any group who want to experience some authentic Irish culture!
I am writing to thank you all at Na Fianna GAA club. We had a wonderful time on Saturday, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and we all felt so welcome. I didn’t realise we were there for so long, we couldn’t get enough of Hurling and Gaelic Football!
I can’t wait until my next visit to Dublin, I would love to make a return visit!
Thank you all so much,
“Diolch yn Fawr”
Ffion and the Girls.
Thanks for such a brilliant time learning some traditional Irish sports! We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, made even better by the fair weather and the enthusiasm of your staff whose willingness to let us have fun (particularly at the expense of the stag who was dressed as a woman!) made for the perfect group activity!
A highly recommended afternoon!
We have just returned home after a weekend in Dublin and I would like to thank Everyone at ‘Experience Gaelic Games’ for making us feel so welcome (especially Georgina, excellent sarnies!). We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the day. All of the coaches were fantastic and had great ‘craic’ and I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dublin. Fantastic group of staff and great facilities.

Not even the rain could change the unique experience playing Irish sports at the Gaelic Games Experience! You didn’t just let us try but also gave us an insight into Irish culture and really let us feel as part of it, which was awesome. Especially we loved your openness and cordiality.
!
It is definitely something to remember and to recommend to anybody that is spending some time in Dublin.
ps. what really sticks to us is the “good stuff” you always used. Our group loved the Irish accent and we actually sometimes use the “good stuff” in class
Thank you very very much for everything.
I hope to come there again!
Best wishes from Switzerland

Dear Gerogina and the guys,
Last Saturday we from the company TANIQ were your guests at the Gaelic Games Experience and we had the most exciting, thrilling, competitive and fun team building experience!! For me it was the highlight of the weekend.
The Gaelic Football was nice to start with because everybody is a little familiar with football although the Gaelic brings in a whole new dimension. The Hurling was the most adventurous game of them all and something that takes a lot of skill. Thanks to your professional coaching we were soon able to play a game. Handball was probably the easiest game to play and nice to blow off the last of our steam.
We totally loved your passion for the games. Together with your great hospitality this passion really radiated on us.
Although it was almost freezing outside and the pitch was covered in snow we had the time of our life! You guys are great and everybody who wants a full, true and real Irish experience should come to your club for the experience for sure!
We found a club in the Netherlands nearby and actually in the town where I live, so I might join them thanks to you guys.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and will definitely come by again if we end up in Dublin. We definitely recommend you to friends, family, colleagues and anyone who likes sports and history.
Thank you so much for all on behalf of our whole group,
Hope to meet you again and kind regards,
Ronald
We had a whale of a time trying out sports most of us had never even heard of. The coaches were brilliant, and everyone at the club was very friendly and helpful. We spent a whole week in Dublin and enjoyed every minute of it, but our visit at was the absolute highlight of our stay. Thanks a lot for everything!
I knew nothing about Gaelic Games prior to our day, but had a great time- we were really well looked after by lovely people and the club was well-equipped and welcoming. The passion that the coaches had for their sport was infectious and the games themselves required real skill and fitness. Sadly we had neither, but we all had a fantastic day.
Thank you so much for an fun-packed weekend, we had a great time.
I can’t believe we tried our hand at Gaelic football, hurling and handball, all in one afternoon. We really got an insight into Irish culture and your passion for it really shone through.
Your facilities were excellent, especially the all-weather pitch. We would recommend this to any group coming to Ireland.
Thanks again!!!
