Western Gael Hurling club is an amalgamated club based in the North West of Wicklow. It facilitates players from Blessington, Lacken, Manor Kilbride, Valleymount, Hollywood, Dunlavin and Donard/Glen who wish to play hurling at juvenile and adult level. The aim of the club is to re-energise and consolidate the juvenile and adult player in the North West under Western Gaels, allowing players to nourish their love of hurling at a local community level and give them to opportunity to play and develop their skills in one of the oldest field games in the world.

In order to meet these aims, the club has mapped out a player development plan from nursery, U11, U13, U15, and minor through to adult and in time to have Western Gaels represented in all these age groups. Currently the club’s resources consist of players and mentors along with the facilities and pitch resources of six clubs but in the future we hope to have our own facilities.
