2013 Australasian State Gaelic Championships are to be held in Sydney this year from Monday September 30th to Sunday October 6th. SA is sending a Womens, Minors, Ladies Camogie and looking to confirm interest in Mens side.
Steve Francis from Western Ireland has put his hand up to coach with assistance from John Butters O'Leary and James from St Brendans. Next step is to get the commitment from enough to send a team
At this stage we need to confirm interest from enough guys to progress and send a team. If we can get to this stage we will then arrange a meeting where a plan for training and hopefully sponsorship and fundraising. If not enough interest SA will not send a mens side which will be a disappointment especially with the Championships being held in Adelaide next year.
Approximate cost at this early stage is $750 which includes accomodation, ball ticket, playing strip, bus and laundry of playing kit. Airfares will be the responsibility of each player and would be on top of this figure.
A facebook page has been established which has further information. If interested or you want to find out more details please contact your team manager to pass on to the State Association. Alternatively contact John Floriani (
jonflo9@hotmail.com) or Matt Doecke (
mdoecke@raa.com.au).
Interest must be registered by friday next week so pass this on to anyone that may be keen.
