Kilworth GAA Club Notes 29 January 2026

NEW ONE MEMBERSHIP STRUCTURE

Kilworth GAA, Kilworth Camogie and Kilworth LGFA are proud to announce the introduction of a unified One Membership Structure, a major milestone in the continued development of our clubs and a significant step towards operating as one club with one vision.
This new structure is the result of strong collaboration between all three organisations and reflects the shared commitment to reducing costs for families, simplifying membership, and ensuring that participation in Gaelic games is accessible to all. At its core, this initiative is designed to maximise participation across every code and age group, strengthening the pathway for all players in our community.
Kilworth Camogie and Kilworth LGFA wish to acknowledge and sincerely appreciate the support of Kilworth GAA and Kilworth Juvenile GAA, who have adjusted their membership rates to make this unified structure possible. This cooperation demonstrates the strength of our clubs when we work together with a common purpose.
With the completion of the new club development and the upgrading of the pitches, the momentum across Kilworth GAA, Camogie and LGFA has never been stronger. The One Membership Structure builds on this progress and positions us for a bright and united future.
We encourage all members to get involved in the many activities now underway — from volunteering and coaching to signing up for the new gym and supporting club initiatives and fundraisers. Our success depends on the continued engagement and energy of our community. As clubs, we are stronger together, and this new structure marks an exciting new chapter for Kilworth.

REBELS BOUNTY DRAW
The Rebels Bounty draw for 2026 has now been officially launched. This helps clubs raise vital funds and it is a proven major fundraising activity for our club with 100% of all proceeds collected over the allotted quota going directly back into the club. Over 12 monthly draws (30 monthly prizes) there is a grand total of €500,000 in prizes to be collected with 360 chances to win. Kilworth GAA have been extremely fortunate in the Rebels Bounty draw since its formation five years ago and had another two winners in 2025. Now is the time for you to renew or join for the first time and new members are always welcome. You can enter through the club (contact any committee member) or online by visiting gaacork.ie/rebelsbounty. All money raised from the draw will go towards our new clubhouse development project and the upgrade works of our pitches which is not only for Kilworth GAA club but also for Kilworth Camogie, Kilworth LGFA and the entire Kilworth community. All support is greatly appreciated.
