The Bryan Cullen Invitational U17 Football Tournament, presenting the Oliver Moore Memorial Cup & Shield takes place on August 27th, 2002 on our main pitch and afters in our Clubhouse.
Participating teams for 2022: Clonmel Commercials - Tipperary, Cuala - Dublin, Dreadnots - Louth and Skerries Harps.
Skerries Harps GAA Club has staged the Bryan Cullen boy's football tournament since its inception in 2017. The tournament aims to mark Bryan’s achievements as a captain of an All-Ireland-winning Dublin team and his overall club and county achievements.
Previous winners include Corofin, Gaillimh, and The Burren, An Dún. Following a suspension of the tournament staging during Covid, we are now re-introducing the event as a U17 competition.
This promises to be a great day for our club, for the participating teams and visitors, and for all supporters and fans. Please pop down to support and soak up the atmosphere as we celebrate one of our greats by supporting our U17 players.
