Allstar footballers may get trip to Cayman Islands next year

THE cream of the country’s football talent may be travelling to the Caribbean next year if the GAA accept an offer to bring the 2003 and 2004 Vodafone GAA Allstar football teams to the Cayman Islands.

Alternatively, the sides could be taken to Hong Kong or South Africa, make a return visit to Buenos Aires or, be entertained in America for the third consecutive year. It emerged yesterday that approaches have been made on behalf of Irish connections in these exotic locations to host the 2005 tour.

Likewise, interest has been expressed on behalf of GAA units in San Francisco which hosted the first tour in 1972 and which has missed out since they were reintroduced in 1999.
