GAA -Beach Tournament

On Saturday 19th April 2008 the Netherlands will brace itself for an event unprecedented in its History. The beautiful coastal scenery will play host to the first ever 7 aside Gaelic football tournament in the country. The event will be hosted on the Scheveningen beach and will be run in conjunction with Tourism Ireland. It will bring teams from the Netherlands and Belgium with Amsterdam GAC, Den Hague GAA, Maastricht GAA and Brussels GAA competing for the illustrious winner’s trophy. The event has been organized by Andy Smith (Westmeath) and Tony Bass (Dublin). Let’s hope it promotes Irish culture and Gaelic games in the Netherlands. Spectators and newcomers to the sport are widely encouraged to come and watch the games.

Best regards
