Gaels grow strong in shadow of gridiron giants

They might share a common cause but this weekend, the Denver Gaels and Seattle Gaels GAA clubs are split by a common desire for Super Bowl success.

The fact they are two of the strongest members of the North American County Board is one of the great stories of the association in the States.

These are not the traditional destination cities for the Irish and the majority of both clubs’ players are American-born, many with no Irish connection whatsoever.
