The rise and rise of a great GAA event

There was a great old buzz in New York’s GAA circles a couple of weeks back when the two Féile teams performed so admirably in the west of Ireland and now the countdown to the Continental Youth Championships can really begin.

It’s the tenth year of this incredible GAA event, one in which — for the record — I can’t claim any hand, act or part (I’m PRO of the senior board in New York).

This is a larger North American-wide phenomenon and promises to be the biggest yet with over 230 teams registered and more than 2,500 players from under six to minor set to compete over the last weekend of this month (July 24-27).
