Skills exhibition brings Irish community together

The Atlanta Olympics brought a huge influx of Irish to that great southern city in 1996.

They weren’t slow about bringing the GAA with them and quickly formed the Clan na nGael club to formalise the interest brought about by the burgeoning men’s football team.

Hurling followed in 1999, Ladies football in the early 2000s and finally camogie three years ago. Most of the male playing members are Irish with about 90% of the women American-born.
