February 06, 2026
Huge congratulations to Seamus McAleenan on winning the Ulster GAA Service Through Education Award last night. This is a richly deserved honour that recognises years of dedication, commitment, and passion for promoting Gaelic games at schools level across the province.
Seamus’s work with Ulster Schools GAA, particularly through his PR efforts, has played a vital role in shining a light on the incredible football and hurling being played by young people. Week in, week out, he ensures that matches, players, and schools receive the coverage and recognition they deserve, helping to raise the profile of schools competitions and celebrate the hard work of students and teachers alike.
Beyond the headlines and match reports, Seamus’s contribution has strengthened the connection between education and the GAA, reinforcing the values of participation, pride, and community. This award is a fitting tribute to the impact he has made, and everyone involved in Ulster Schools GAA can be proud of his achievement. Comhghairdeas ó chroí! Congratulations once again on a fantastic and well-earned accolade.
