PSNI GAA team on duty in Belgium
March 25, 2014The brainchild of former GAA president Sean Kelly MEP (honorary president of Belgium GAA), the match took place under floodlights in the Belgian capital and the hosts ran out comfortable 3-16 to 2-7 winners.
"The PSNI GAA club is a key part of the Peace Process," Kelly told gaa.ie "Alongside the GAA's abolition of Rule 21 under the Presidency of Joe McDonagh, to the removal of Rule 42 under my Presidency, it has been about being open and constructive in fostering peace in the North.
"I wanted to encourage the great work of the PSNI GAA in fostering our games and ensuring that there is positive cross-community engagement in the North.
"Therefore it was an honour to be able to facilitate them in playing a challenge match vs Belgium GAA.
"I would like to pay particular tribute to Terry Jackson, Managing Director of Kukri Sports, who sponsored the PSNI GAA on their trip over.
"Here's to more such matches being played as it allows the True Gaels of the PSNI to play our games North and South, in Europe and beyond." Tweet
