A nice wee article from The Local, Sweden's foremost English-speaking news source. Good to see the GAA getting some recognition elsewhere in Europe. Furthermore it seems like the sport is growing in Scandinavia.

That's great to see but I think we could do much more to promote the GAA abroad, would it not be possible to play a 'European championships' here (no Irish teams obviously) and play the final in CP maybe before a Dublin championship game or QF double header?

QuoteWhat game was Alex Ferguson at?

The Clare V Dublin AI semi final in 1992, if memory serves me.

He was at Meath v Dublin in the 1994 Leinster final. He was interviewed after the game on RTE and expressed his admiration for "the Meath No. 5", Graham Geraghty.
