2023 Leinster Junior B Semi-final

A great write up from the Wicklow People’s Liam O’Loughlin (14Nov2023)

An extraordinary Leinster debut for Arklow Rocks as they secure place in provincial final

Late Bardon goal sends Wicklow Intermediate champions through to Junior ‘B’ decider.

Arklow Rocks 1-6

Burren Rangers 2-1

Wicklow Intermediate camogie champions Arklow Rock Parnells made an extraordinary debut in the Leinster Junior ‘B’ camogie championship when they played host to Carlow champions Burren Rangers at Pearse’s Park in Arklow on Saturday last, November 11. The Arklow side, who trailed their Carlow opponents for the entire game from the seventh minute onwards, only got their noses in front one minute into added time when Erin Bardon got the crucial touch in a goalmouth scramble to give her side the lead for the first time in the game as the finishing post approached. And they held on for a thrilling victory by 1-6 to 2-1.

A Note From Miley’s Family

Rosemary, Tim, Jennifer and Miley’s extended family would like to express their gratitude to all of the Arklow Rocks community for their kindness during his illness and in the weeks since his passing.


The loss of Miley has been a devastating blow for our family as we know it has been for many of you.


As a family we were overwhelmed by the huge number that turned out to accompany Miley on his final journey to his place of rest.

We know it would be impossible to thank each individual so we would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to you all.

Miley was a proud life long member of the Arklow Rocks. We know that we don’t need to tell you all how much he enjoyed his trips to The Field, the matches and the pub for a sing song and some craic. Miley valued the many many friends that he made as part of the club. As he so often said ‘Up the Rocks’ 💚🤍💚🤍

Fly High Little Angels

It is with great sadness, we as a club have to make this announcement.

The passing has occurred of our two newest Rockette and Rock Star, Cadhla and Tadhg Kavanagh.

Children of Lorraine and Chris Kavanagh, brother and sister to Saoirse, Sean and Fiadh, all part of our Rocks community! There are no words to describe the hurt amongst the club and it’s community at this time.

We extend our deepest sympathy to all the Kavanagh and Kelleher families at this time.

We ask you to show your support and prayers online and respect the privacy of the family at this very difficult time!

Fly high little angels!

Hurls Ready

We are coming back!

From 26 April 2021 juveniles can train in groups of 15.
Send in photos of those hurls at the ready

If your boys or girls have never tried, after a long time in lockdown, this would be a great time to let them have a go. All Covid precautions abided by and we have a huge pitch.
See you soon!
