Last weekend’s North American GAA Championships in Chicago have been hailed the biggest ever in the history of the GAA in America. Beginning last Friday and continuing for three days over the Labour Day weekend, some 7000 spectators gathered at six fields in Gaelic Park to be treated to fantastic competition in 87 games. It turned out to be a great tournament for San Francisco as they carried home 5 national championship wins, with host’s Chicago also doing well garnering 3 titles and Philadelphia teams winning two. GaelicSportsCast caught up with North American County Board (NACB) PRO, Eamonn Kelly during the week and he told us about how things went, and also, commented on the lack of representation from Boston for this year’s national finals.

Such a great and thorough report! Thank you.
Thanks Vicky.
Thanks and congrats again to Vancouver!
