TSS One Club Weekend and Mini All Ireland 2026

This September marks another exciting chapter for our club as we launch our inaugural TSS One Club Weekend - a celebration of everything TSS represents. It will bring together players, families, volunteers, coaches, sponsors, past members and supporters of all generations for a weekend that showcases our club, our community and our culture #TSS4LifeAt the heart of the weekend is our flagship event - the TSS Mini All-Ireland.

What is the Mini All Ireland?

Now entering its 12th year, the Mini All-Ireland has become one of the highlights of the juvenile sporting calendar. Registration opens shortly and, if previous years are anything to go by, we expect almost 800 children to take part across the weekend of 11-13th of September in VEC Ground, Terenure (kids aged between 6-12) 

The format remains as magical as ever. Every child represents a county, proudly wears their county colours and plays under their county banner throughout the competition. The weekend culminates in our much-loved "Croke Park" style parade, led by our pipers, before the finals take place. It creates an atmosphere that is genuinely special for players, parents and supporters alike.

This year, however, the Mini All-Ireland is the springboard of something much bigger, mostly down to the success of the Mini All-Ireland in bringing every member of the club together over one weekend (we have over 2,000 members currently)

Throughout the weekend we'll also be hosting a range of activities that encourage the entire TSS community to come together, including:

• Back to Gaelic and New Member Meet-and-Greet
• Past Players and Mentors challenges
• Live music and entertainment
• Family activities and games
• An Garda Síochana Mounted Unit attendance
• Food village
• Kids' discos and Parents socials
• Charity Initiative (last year we raised over €12k for UNICEF- thank you) Delighted to support As I Am, Ireland’s National Autism Charity this year.
• Club showcases and lots of great Gaelic football! Including our Piper-led marching parades

Our ambition is for the weekend to become an annual celebration of our One Club philosophy - where every generation of TSS comes together.

Aside from the work done by our volunteers this could never happen without the generous support of our sponsors and advertisers, and we are particularly grateful to our Main Sponsors: Specsavers Crumlin and Two Sisters, Terenure and our Premium sponsor: Park Financial Mortgages

What time are matches on at?  Please note that match times for each team vary each day. All kids will play 1 match on Friday evening, 2 matches on Saturday and 1 match on Sunday.
 
Will we be able track my team's progress during the week? Yes, fixtures, results and table standings will be available on Tournify.

What time should we arrive? Please arrive at least 20 minutes before your fixture time to give us enough time to hook the players up with their County teams and Bainisteoiri, hand out the county t-shirts and get to the correct pitch before the hooter goes off.

Do I need to be a member of TSSGFC or have played football before to participate? No - this is all about participation and fun - all members and non-members welcome.

How do I know what pitch my child's Team is playing on? You will receive an Email closer to the date with a link to the programme where teams are all listed, and this will include a venue map, so you know where to be and when.

Are Boys and Girls mixed on the teams? No - again this year our girls and boys will play their own separate tournament.

How will I know how my child's team is doing? Results will be posted on the Tournify website
 
Will the referee wait for me if I am late? All games and half times will be centrally controlled by a hooter. So, the game will begin whether your child is there or not!
 
Is there a code of behaviour for adults? Absolutely! We would ask everyone attending to support the TSS #PositiveSidelines Policy (see Digital Programme). This week should be pure fun and football for all. Posters will be displayed at the venue.

Will I miss my dinner?! Food will be available on-site Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with kid’s choices and coffee for the adults. See Digital Programme for more info.
 
Where do I park? If possible, please walk or cycle to this year’s Mini All Ireland. There will be no parking at the VEC. The gate will be open to pedestrians and cyclists only. This is for health and safety reasons. We would like to avoid a large build-up of traffic in the area surrounding the VEC. We have access to the carpark behind St. Joseph's Church in Terenure, and Terenure College carpark, but please park nearest the gym/hall. Both are only a 7-minute walk away. Alternatively, there may be parking in Rathdown Park.
 
Any queries, where do I go? We will have an information tent set up. Our volunteers there will try and help you.
 
Is there any other music or entertainment? Yes, games, activities, music and lots more to do all weekend. So, stick around and meet your fellow club members.
 
Can anyone come along and watch? Everyone is welcome to come along and watch the football. Feel free to invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbours to support the children. We look forward to seeing all the generations!
 
Can I bring my dog along to support? Unfortunately, not. You must leave the dog at home. The (ETB) VEC Sportsgrounds (Templeogue Road, Terenure) would like to remind everyone that, for Health and Safety reasons, DOGS are NOT allowed in its grounds except for guide dogs. These are the VEC rules, please respect them.

All other questions will be answered in the Digital Programme.
