Even high temperatures didn’t cool the competition.
And we mean really hot. Temps in the 90s didn’t stop the young footballers from taking the field on Saturday for three games at the new Philadelphia Gaelic Athletic Association field in Limerick.
We could only manage to shoot one game before we returned to our liquid state–at least, that’s how it felt–but it was a good one. The Young Irelands’ seniors trounced the visitng Pittsburgh GAA 3-21 to 3-11.
The action continues this weekend with Pittsburgh facing St. Patrick’s and the Notre Dames Ladies GFC will take on Baltimore (starting at 11 AM). On Sunday, the junior Kevin Barry’s will be playing the Young Irelands starting at 1 PM followed by the senior teams at 2:30 PM.
The field is located at 485 Longview Road, Limerick, PA. Bring sunscreen.
