Galway City Rapparees strongly represented on Connacht Interprovincial panels
Galway City Rapparees will have a major presence on the 2026 Connacht Interprovincial panels, with players and management involved across both the men’s and women’s set-ups.
Rapparees selected: Jay Hall, Cathal Creavan, Ajay Kumar, Rory McGarvey, Ili Tuimauga, Hazel Kilduff, Jessie Pereira and Gwen Redmond. Craig Davis and Jenna O’Brien are also involved in management.
It is a brilliant boost for the club to see so many Galway City Rapparees figures named when the Connacht panels were confirmed. The selection underlines the progress being made by the club and the growing strength of Rounders in Galway.
On the men’s panel, Jay Hall, Cathal Creavan, Ajay Kumar, Rory McGarvey and Ili Tuimauga have all been included. Cathal has also been named vice-captain, which is a fine recognition of his standing and influence.
There is strong Rapparees representation on the women’s side too, with Hazel Kilduff, Jessie Pereira and Gwen Redmond selected. Gwen has also been appointed vice-captain, adding another leadership role for the club within the Connacht set-up.
The involvement does not stop there. It is also a proud day for the club to see Craig Davis and Jenna O’Brien named in management, giving Galway City Rapparees a real presence right across the Connacht Interprovincial structure.
For a club still building and pushing forward, this level of representation is a serious endorsement of the work being done by players, coaches and volunteers. Having so many names involved across both squads and management is something everyone in the club can take pride in.
Everyone in Galway City Rapparees will be wishing all of those selected the very best in Connacht colours and looking forward to seeing the club represented on the Interprovincial stage.
