St. Patrick’s Day Gaelic Football Game CANCELLED
GAELIC GAME IS ONLY CANCELLED – TOO MUCH RAIN
We will be continuing the BC Footy tradition of having all teams march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
The parade attracts thousands of spectators, and is a great place to kick a few 50m bombs down Granville St and promote our sport.
Location: Downtown – Georgia and Broughton Street (new 2009 meeting spot).
Time: Sunday 15th March @ 10:45am (Parade starts at 11:30am)
All marchers will be wearing their affiliated footy jumpers and will be free to kick the footy as we walk – in front of around 125,000 people!
After the parade, we will be heading to Brockton Oval in Stanley Park for the traditional Irish vs Aussies game of Gaelic Football. The Irish beat the Aussies on Australia Day at AFL, so it’s time we turn the tables and beat them at their own game!
All are welcome, even if you haven’t played Gaelic Football before. It is very similar to AFL, just a little less contact and a different shaped ball.
