GAA French National Team touchdown in Ireland

“The only way to practice is to come to Ireland because we know this is where the best level is in Gaelic football.”

Stephen Hegarty, who is a secretary for France GAA, and the country’s GAA national team have arrived in Ireland to take part in their very first 15-a-side Gaelic football game.

The team, which consists of 23 members, arrived in Dublin on Wednesday evening.

They are visiting to help grow the GAA scene in France.

Currently Gaelic football teams in France only play nine or eleven a side games due to a lack of resources.

Over the next few days the team will play three Irish teams.

The first game was on Thursday night against Portobello GAA club in Dublin.

That was the first time staff and players got experience in playing a 15-a-side game.

The score ended up 1-10 vs 0-02, with France taking the victory.

“As a player, I am happy with what I did.

” I will be sore tomorrow but I am proud of our team,” said Jean Tisserand after the game.
