What a way to celebrate our gaelic games than to have it for the first time in the Liverpool Irish Festival; the Roswick's men and ladies GAA blitz is to be played over two weekends (October 25th and November 1st) promises to be something special. This competition is unique in the fact that not only is this the inaugural competition but it brings together university and club teams from throughout the north-west of England.
Liverpool is home to two GAA clubs; the Wolfe Tones and John Mitchels. Incidentally, as I write this piece the two clubs have won their respective Pennine League competitions at the weekend. This is a testament to how strong the GAA is in Liverpool at the minute. The two clubs have successful ladies teams and underage teams also; with the Wolfe Tones boasting a hurling team.
The Rosewick GAA blitz competitions are 7 a-side and are to be played over two weekends, the men and ladies on consecutive weekends. The games are to be primarily based in Mystery Park in Wavertree home of the Wolfe Tones, if there are more teams wishing to get involved then John Mitchel's Greenbank pitch will be used also.
This promises to be two great weekends of Gaelic football in Liverpool, a fantastic way
to promote our unique games in a city steeped in Irish culture.
