Tadhg’s try-outs testament to how all storms pass

Tadhg’s try-outs testament to how all storms pass

Tomorrow at 2pm some of Ireland’s most promising Gaelic footballers will take to the fields of Harrow School in north-west London as part of a European Legion team which will face the next generation of Aussie Rules greats in the annual Easter Series.

Tadhg Kennelly, he of Listowel and Sydney fame, is the man providing the guiding light for the European selection which will include players from six of the 21 countries on the continent affiliated to the AFL. A week-long camp will offer a glimpse into the life of a pro athlete for the players. There was an intra-squad game two days ago as well, tomorrow includes a test against the best U18s from Oz and a tour of Wembley Stadium.
