U9 Festival of Camogie 2026
“Using App for a Day was a revelation. On the day we had 24 teams from 10 clubs with over 250 players, and the app enabled us to easily communicate with teams on everything to do with the festival, fixtures, pitches, photos, venue location and local amenities. It was a genuine one-stop shop for the day.
Celine and her team developed some really cool functionality. Simple things like following a team populated a parent's or mentor's schedule for the day. The Puc Fada leaderboard worked really well, and being live meant everyone was up to date.
The feedback we received on the festival was superb, and no doubt App for a Day played a big part in that. It really helped the day run smoothly. We could not recommend App for a Day enough.”
U9 Festival of Camogie
The event
Kilmacud Crokes hosted the inaugural U9 Festival of Camogie at UCD for the 2017-born age group, welcoming 24 teams from 10 clubs from around the country, including sides that travelled from as far as Cork and Kilkenny. Matches ran across 6 pitches over the day, opening with a parade led by a piper and flag bearers and concluding with a medal presentation.

The challenge
Running 48 matches across 6 pitches in a single day, for 24 teams from 10 different clubs, all while coordinating parking, distributing lunches, and keeping the Puc Fada skills competition moving alongside the regular fixtures, with every team needing to know where and when to be without anyone chasing paper timetables.
The App
The app put the whole day in one place: a fixtures tab covering all 6 pitches with a “My Schedule” star so every team knew exactly where and when to be, a live feed for updates from festival HQ, and a dedicated Puc Fada tab running its own leaderboard and timetable alongside the regular fixtures.
