RISING TIDE 2024 




Our Easter celebration of inclusivity in sport was a huge success. This initiative was led by Bantry Blues GAA and its Ball4All team. All playing surfaces, both indoor and outdoor, saw a wide variety of events take place.  

The West Cork Jesters, The Rebel Wheelers, paralympic cycling and 4Honor Jujitsu were all represented. A fantastic céilí kicked off the festival which also saw a Gaelic 4 Mothers&Others blitz and an over 35 men’s tournament. We wish to thank all our incredible athletes.

Their brilliance was matched by that of our bands and DJ who entertained the large crowds throughout the weekend in our Heineken Rising Tide Festival Marquee. The Committee are deeply grateful to the Bantry Blues club and to our sponsors for allowing us get this Festival afloat.

We are already planning for next years Festival. Details will follow throughout the year ahead. Clubs and teams are already signing up for another weekend where inclusivity in sport is celebrated and witnessed by all in attendance. Make sure you are there to join in.
