Seville set for feast of GAA

TEAMS from seven cities will converge on Seville this Saturday as Eire Óg host the first round of the seventh annual Iberian Gaelic football Championships.

In what is the first ever Gaelic football championship to be held in the southern Spanish city, over 200 players will compete in men’s and women’s tournament close to Seville’s Olympic Stadium.

Sides from the likes of Madrid, Barcelona and Pamplona will all line out in a tournament overseen by the European County Board and Croke Park with all games refereed by fully-qualified GAA officials especially flown in for the weekend.
