Shanghai hosts Gaelic competition

THE global spread of hurling and football will reach Shanghai later this month when the city hosts the DHL 10th Asian Gaelic Games tournament.

After two years in Hong Kong, the Asian Gaelic Games moves north along the Chinese seaboard where 30-plus teams and more than 450 players from more than 10 Asian countries will take part.

This year’s sevens event will be held at the Shanghai Rugby Football Club, home of the Shanghai Saints & Sirens, from September 23-26.
