SF 2013 GAA Gala Gathering

 

 

 

SF GAA Gala Gathering

Friday November 15th, 6pm

United Irish Cultural Centre

In Appreciation of all SF GAA Clubs

 

Good times, great community!

Guest of Honor

Liam Mc Carthy Cup and

All Ireland winning manager Davy Fitzgerald

 

 

Funds Raised will help support the U14 Feile

Team and the Western Division Board

The future of the GAA in the bay area looks bright with strong showings from our Feile teams who travel to Ireland, and our underage teams regularly bringing home silverware from the CYC competition. However, it is important to note also the strong impact adult teams from the Western Division have made in North American competition of late. Keeping a strong and vibrant adult competition alive gives our underage stars something tangible to aspire to in the future.

 

While the Western Division has traditionally been considered a "major division" in North American play, since we opened the Treasure Island facility in 2008 the success of bay area clubs in national competitions has really highlighted the level of Gaelic Games year coming in 2013 when Western Division teams brought home three of the four senior titles from the North American County Board national nals in Cleveland.

 

On the local scale the GAA scene welcomed a new football club, Eire Og, in the last few seasons, while the St. Josephs Hurling club has made a comeback in the South Bay. The Western division runs both a League and Championship each year and this past year also had a great day out with a seven-a-side competition.

 

The "Gathering Gala" will provide a great opportunity for all Gaels young and old to come together and celebrate the communityspirit that drives the GAA at all levels and keeps our games and our heritage strong. Join us as we gather to celebrate our community and help keep it alive and thriving long into the future.

SF GAA Results from 2013 North American Finals Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Congratulations to all our SF GAA teams who had travelled to Cleveland for the 2013 North American Championships!!!! Out of our 7 teams that travelled we brought home 3 Senior Titles!!!!!!!

2013 SNR Hurling Champions Na Fianna

2013 SNR Football Champions Ulster

2013 SNR Ladies Champions Fog City Harps

SNR Camoige SF Shamrocks were to lose out in the early rounds of their championship.

INT Ladies Football Clan Na Gael were defeated in the Final by a strong Chicago team.

JNR A Hurling SF Rovers were defeated at the Semi Final stage by Toronto. Question's were asked about the grading of the Canadian team, but this appeal was declined by the North American Board.

JNR C Football Eire Og our all American born panel, were defeated by St Jaralaths of Cleveland at the Semi Final stage. Eire Og will not be pleased with thier 1st half performance, but they can definitely say they left it all on the field in the 2nd half, only to be defeated by 2 points.

Well done to Cleveland GAA and to all their members, volunters and sponsors, on a well organized tournament. There will always be some complaints; sliotars going through the goal nets, field sizes and markings, but all in all Cleveland have raised the bar for future hosts of our North American Championships, and roll on Boston 2013!!!!!!!!!!!
