Yesterday was the second Sunday of the 2010 Toronto GAA season and it was just as good as the first. While the weather was a bit cooler, the games were just as good, if not better, with loads of competitive football from the youths, the men and the ladies. Here are your results for the week!

On Wednesday night, Michael Cusacks beat Durham 2-11 to 1-11. Wednesday night games will be a regular occurrence this season with Durham playing in each one. These games do count as regular season games and so it's important that the ladies all field teams if they are scheduled to play on a Wednesday!

In the only Sunday ladies game, St. Mikes beat Brampton 3-10 to 1-3. Michael Cusacks were scheduled to travel to Ottawa on Saturday, but failed to do so and therefore the points were awarded to Ottawa.

St. Vincents, however, did make the trip up to Ottawa this weekend and chalked up their second win in as many games, beating Ottawa 4-13 to 1-2.  In mens' Centennial Park action, St. Mikes also won their second game of the season, beating Durham 1-15 to 0-08, while Brampton beat St. Pats in a game that came down to the wire, 1-10 to 0-07. Finally, the St. Mikes B team beat the Toronto Gaels 3-08 to 1-06, collecting their first win of the year.

There were also a number of youth games involving the Toronto Chieftans and Brampton Rebels, showcasing the talent of the young boys and girls in the GAA community. There was some great football on display and it's clear that the development programs are working and flourishing around the GTA.

Once again, it was a very successful week for the Toronto GAA and thanks goes out to all those who refereed, played, or just came out and supported the teams. We hope to see you all back out next week as we continue to build on a promising start to the 2010 season.

The third week of the Toronto GAA 2010 season has now come and gone and we have some scores for you!

On Wednesday night, the Durham ladies played Brampton. It was a high scoring affair with Durham winning 8-15 to 3-07. In the only other game scheduled for the ladies this weekend, Durham's game versus Ottawa has been postponed.

In the mens loop, there were a handful of games to report. On Saturday, the Toronto Gaels travelled to Ottawa to take on the other Gaels. Ottawa came out on top in this one, winning 3-18 to 0-05. Also on Saturday, St. Pats made the trip across the border to Buffalo, beating the Fenians 1-12 to 1-07. On Sunday, Brampton looked to extend their undefeated streak against St. Mikes' junior team. They did just that, winning a close one, 2-08 to 1-10. In the only other Sunday game, St. Vincents beat Durham for the second time this year, 2-15 to 1-07.

Thanks to all those who helped out with this weekend once again. We hope to see you all out at next weekend's games! The standings table will be updated tomorrow to reflect the latest results.

Any results from the playoffs in the windy city, mvp's etc

[gortnaleck]

After hosting the playoffs I think for the last two years the Boston teams did not go to Chicago this year so that didnt help the situation .San Fran won Snr football and hurling with Treacys and Naomh Padraig.Celts from SF won Inter football.Vancouver won Jun hurling.Philly won Ladies Snr,Chicago the Jun.Thats all I can remember but the results are prob on the website by now

[The Iceman]

So Boston didn't show at all!?!?!?

Allentown looked like a good bet for the hurling in the Juniors - they beat the Shamrocks more times this year and then competed in a lower division.
Hurling seems to be going strong in PA and talks of a new club growing in MD also.

SF remains strong with a constant influx of Irish heading out there and a strong community of willing and able players in both the football and hurling  - fair play to them.
