Garrett Mallon

Garrett Mallon talks about his GAA experinces over the years, which led to him being involved in founding a club in Louth. Originally from Tyrone, he came from a family with strong GAA traditions and played for Clarkes of Dungannon. He later moved south of the border to Omeath in Louth, and after taking a break from the GAA whilst studying and moving around, he returned to Omeath and worked with others to establish a club, Cuchulainn Gaels, in the local area. Garrett describes this process and the obstacles that had to be overcome in order to make their vision a reality. The early years of the club required a lot of work by everyone involved. They had to ensure that they had enough funds and establish solid links with the community, all the time navigating their way through turbulent economic times. Garrett reflects on the progress they have made so far and voices his hopes for the club for the future. He has already seen the positive impact of their work in the area and is looking forward to a very bright future for Cuchulainn Gaels.
