The Hardiman, established over 170 years ago, has supported the local Galway communities throughout this time and is very excited to announce its latest community partnership.

Castlegar GAA, supporting its teams since 1975, covers the east part of Galway city. The Camogie club has grown to now have over two hundred members, fielding teams ranging from Under 6 to Adult level. Their Nursery programme, Castlegar Cubs, for 3 and 4 year old children on Saturday mornings is also very strong and continuing to go from strength-to-strength. Their most recent achievement came last year when the club won the Senior County League Division Two!

One of Galway’s best-known clubs, it’s steeped in GAA history and has always worked tirelessly to nurture, grow, and develop all of its members. The club is ambitious and progressive and as part of its plans to sustain for the future, it is working with the hurling club to continue to improve facilities for all its members and the local community. This partnership will further enhance the club and it is important that everyone can benefit from these improvements and Castlegar are delighted to now have the support of The Hardiman.

Club Chairman Mike Crowe stated at the launch; "We are delighted and honoured to enter into this exciting new partnership with The Hardiman and I would like to thank all the staff and management for this opportunity for our club. The Hotel is synonymous with Galway and holds a special place in the heart of many Galwegians. We look forward to working and developing this partnership over the coming years."

To announce and celebrate the partnership, The Hardiman recently hosted a launch evening for the unveiling of the new Castlegar Camogie Home and Away jerseys which bear The Hardiman's sponsorship. This launch event took place in the new pub at the hotel, MacNeill’s. Players from all squads attended on the night as well as club official’s and coaches.
