The untapped global potential of Gaelic games

By the way, for the sake of international presentation, is it time the lads stopped tucking their camáns under their bollocks when standing for the anthem.

I know its a long held tradition that many still hold dearly. If the lads are worried perhaps we can give them cups or something to keep all their bits in place while they sing amhran na bhfiann.

NHL semi-finals this weekend. Two attractive match-ups. Anyone have the attendance?

Zulu · April 21, 2014, 05:15:35 AM

24,052 according to the Examiner, though I thought the crowd looked to be in the region of 30,000.

Correction to my previous post, it seems the attendance was actually 20,452 which doesn't seem accurate at all from TV pictures.

See a short video from yesterday's Peach Cup in Atlanta, their biggest ever event and a former Tipperary NHL winning captain still winning..

Excellent. Always interesting to hear how far people travel to get to their games. 4 hour flights from Denver and from New York. Just shows you the dedication.

This video profile of Pat from Limerick in Texas is pretty amazing for one fact - 32 of the 38 players at training are American. Only 3 are Irish.

Well done although the bit in bold will upset a few on this Board $:-\$ .

Yeah a nice piece and it again underlines the potential of the games to grow with non-Irish folk.
