Laois GAA club on Carlow border makes volunteer call out

The GAA club which flies the flag for Laois on the Carlow border has issued a call out in the Graguecullen area for new volunteers to help the club grow and realise its potential.

Graiguecullen GAA has invited locals to be part of the team, behind the team and to volunteer to help one of oldest clubs in Laois to grow. The club says volunteers are the heart of the club.

"Whether you're passionate about sports or simply want to give back to the community, there's a role for everyone," it says.

The mainly Gaelic football club says that by volunteering you'll be supporting the local community, make new friends and connections in the process while developing skills and gain experience in the process.

As to how you can help the club says volunteers are needed for coaching and mentoring in positions where you can share your skills with players of all ages.
