Last week saw Sydney and Chicago having to postpone their GAA schedules, and while Sydney luckily got the first round of the NSW Championship up and running this past weekend, heavy rain once more was responsible for the cancellation of games at Gaelic Park in Chicago. This is the second weekend in a row that Chicago has been hit with heavy rains and the postponements will test the resolve of the local GAA to get all fixtures played before ‘Playoff deadlines in September. To make matters worse, Boston joined the ranks suffering weather blues as the second round of the North East Championships had to be called off at the GAA playing fields in Canton, MA because of …yes…flooding !! New York may deem themselves extremely fortunate to get a full card in over the weekend as for the most part the bad weather steered clear of Gaelic Park.
Here’s hoping that Boston can return to action this week and that the folks in Chicago have luck on their side and be able to get the Chicago Championship up and running. And, as soon as Gaelic Park in Chicago returns to action, GaelicSportsCast for the first time this year, will be reporting on the action in the windy city all through the summer.
