A Hurler's Prayer

As a club community we have lost many prominent members, players and activists over the years. Some of these have been tragic, sudden or premature. All of these people have been a great loss to our club. It is important to recognise and remember the contribution made by these people to furthering the spirit and cause of Castletown GAA Club over many years. 

A Hurler's Prayer

Grant me O Lord, a hurler's skill,

With strength of arm and speed of limb

Unerring eye for the flying ball

And courage to match whate'er befall.

May my stroke be steady and my aim be true

My actions manly and my misses few

No matter what way the game may go

May I rest in friendship with every foe.

When the final whistle for me has blown

And I stand at last before God's judgement throne

May the great referee when he calls my name

Say, you hurled like a man; you played the game.
