Féile football fever hits Treaty City

FÉILE Peil will be hosted by Limerick this weekend when thousands of U-14 boys and girls converge on the Treaty City for the annual GAA Festival of Football.

First played in 1982, when there were only two divisions, Féile Peil has grown to nine divisions, three for girls.

The festival is similar to the hurling, which proved an outstanding success in Cork a fortnight ago. Forty-eight boys’ and 24 girls’ teams from all over Ireland and as far away as New York, Brussels and England will be hosted by clubs in Limerick for the weekend.
