Step up for County Galway
#StepUpForCountyGalway
  1. Is County Galway your home county?
  2. Are you a rambler, hillwalker, hiker, mountaineer or mountain runner?
  3. Would you like to represent County Galway in an all-Ireland sports league?

If you answered yes to all three of the above questions, we invite you to #StepUpForCountyGalway in the High Point Ireland Counties League. If you wish to become a member of the County Galway Highpointeering team, you can do so by visiting Gribbon locations during the High Point Ireland league year (1st January - 31st December), logging those visits on the Peakhunter smartphone app and in your own Highpointeer Logsheet & Entry Form, and emailing the completed Highpointeer Logsheet & Entry Form to us no later than 31st December at the end of that league year. During the following January, the ten highest point-scorers representing County Galway will be identified as the County Galway "Elite Ten". Those ten scores added together will become County Galway's overall score in the league.
