Vincents to host visit of S. Africa’s first GAA team

Newly crowned All-Ireland Club SFC champions St Vincents will take on Africa’s first GAA team this weekend.

South Africa Gaels touch down in Dublin tomorrow morning, ahead of a six-day tour which will see the squad from two South African townships face top Dublin sides St Vincents and Ballyboden St Enda’s.

South Africa Gaels face St Vincents at 5pm on Sunday, and will take on Ballyboden St Enda’s under lights on Tuesday at 8pm. Former All-Ireland winner and current St Vincents director of football and UCD head of sport Brian Mullins will coach the team tomorrow at Croke Park, while a jersey presentation ceremony will also take place at GAA headquarters on Sunday.
