To mark the culmination of the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships, Electric Ireland, in partnership with the GAA, has opened nominations for the 2021 Electric Ireland GAA Minor Special Recognition Awards, which will champion the outstanding off-the-pitch contributions of two Minor players during 2021.
The two unique Electric Ireland GAA awards will take into consideration the difficulties experienced this year by players and communities across the country and will see Electric Ireland recognise Minors who have gone above and beyond in their community during the challenges of Covid-19 – with one Minor honoured in each code – one hurler & one footballer.
The Electric Ireland GAA Minor Special Recognition Awards will be open to GAA players of Minor age at both club and county level and aim to bring a major moment back into this age group’s lives. Having missed out on a host of coming-of-age moments over the past eighteen months, the award will recognise that what these Minors have been doing for their communities during the Covid-19 pandemic, truly is major.
To nominate an extraordinary contribution made by a Minor during the course of the year, simply visit https://www.electricireland.ie/MinorAwards. Nominations can be made by any individual, parent, guardian, volunteer, club official or county official individual or sporting body. Nominations for the awards will close at 5pm sharp on September 1st, 2021.
We believe it is incredibly important to recognise the major impact of this brilliant age group, particularly in what has been an extremely challenging year for all.
Please do let us know if you have any questions or queries regarding the awards and the nomination process. You can also view the 2020 Special Recognition Award winners here.
This is the culmination of months & months of work to showcase the 1,100+ players who will take part in the Leitrim Football & Ladies Football Club Championships this summer.

Leitrim GAA are sad to hear of the passing of Kitty Nangle Castleknock Dublin. Kitty was a fanatical Dub supporter married to a fanatical Leitrim supporter the late Gerry Nangle who passed away on the 25th April 2019.
On Morning Ireland on Radio 1 in a piece compiled by Eileen Magnier Eamonn Duignan Chairman of The LEITRIMWALL committee told the story of two bricks in the leitrimwall.
The story told was of Gerry & Kitty Nangle. Gerry from Drumshanbo met Kitty a Dub at a dance in the National Ballroom in Dublin and Gerry left her home.
She said she wasn’t interested in boys she was only 16. Friends of hers from Arigna were friends of Gerry & her name came up after being lost for 6years
Gerry and Kitty were married in 1963 -56 years ago
Gerry Nangle bought a brick in the wall and his message is
Gerry Nangle Drumshanbo- 40 years a publican in Dublin – great leitrim supporter
Two weeks later Kitty asked Eamonn Duignan for a brick in the wall and Eamonn told her Gerry had bought one. She said ‘ I know , and I want to buy one as well’
Kitty a fanatical Dublin Supporter message was Up the Dubs- Thanks Leitrim -for Gerry
Kitty became known to everybody when she told her story to Eileen Magnier on the RTE main evening news at the official opening of the Leitrim GAA Centre of Excellence.
Leitrim GAA would like to extend their sympathy to Kitty’s children ,Gerard, Caitriona, Finbarr and Paula and the entire Nangle family
