Australasian GAA Championships

The Embassy was represented at the 2014 GAA Australasian Championships, which were held at Gaelic Park in Melbourne. The Championships brought together 25 teams with over 650 players from 5 Australian States (QLD, VIC, NSW, WA, SA) and from New Zealand (Wellington). Each State put forward teams in the five codes (Senior Football; Minor Football; Ladies Football; Hurling; Camogie), with the players being drawn from a number of different clubs within each State.

Jim Harkin of Victoria GAA; Liam O’Neill, President GAA; Sarah Mangan, Deputy Head of Mission at Gaelic Park, Melbourne.

The Championships were held over 5 days and were attended by the GAA President, Liam O'Neill; the Camogie President, Aileen Lawlor; and the Ladies Gaelic Football President, Pat Quill who had all travelled from Ireland for the Championships.

Congratulations to the winners in each code.
