Allow children to watch and you will please them for a moment, have them participate and you will occupy them for a lifetime.

The Community Games is character forming, it introduces, encourages and fosters community spirit and a love of sport and culture among its members of the community and most particularly amongst the young people.

The Community Games movement in Arklow was founded in 1978.  Over the past 30 years many hundred of girls and boys have achieved so much by their involvement in Community Games activities at area, county, provincial and national, bringing many honours to their area and county.

Many of these outstanding young people have achieved international status.

None of this would have been possible but for the generous sponsorship we receive each year in kind and cash from so many good people.

We wish to sincerely congratulate and say thank you to each and every girl and boy, their parents, guardians, coaches, leaders, managers, judges, school principals, sponsors, Sister Sior and the B.O.M. St Mary's College and anyone who gave us assistance over the past 30 years.

A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body.
