St Lawrences in soccer action at the Theatre of Dreams

WE have had England play rugby in Croke Park, Shelbourne once played Gaelic football at Ibrox and now a GAA club in Manchester is set to try its hand at a game of soccer at the home of the English Premiership champions.

St Lawrences GAA club have been based in the parish of Old Trafford since their founding back in 1981 and the club has been able to organise a challenge match against a team organised by betting chain BetFred at the Theatre of Dreams tomorrow afternoon.

“The club is based near the ground and we would be in contact with a lot of people in the area, including people at United,” said club chairman Paul Tolan yesterday.
