    The GAA is for ALL regardless of ability... It's not just a sport it's a discipline of life... The biggest Amateur sport in the world but the value of it is not amateur, boys and girls become professional grown ups if they stick with it. So glad the roots of GAA are spreading across the waters.

    Stumbled upon this video randomly and im delighted i did. Im a Dubliner growing up playing for Ballyboden St Endas until my early teens. GAA in Ireland is a religion whether you play football or hurling. Superb that these kids get exposed to that religion. Its not a money making career sport. The pro's all are regular joes with regular jobs. But they train and play for the love of the sport and the team glory. The more these kids from all races and creed get exposed to the tough GAA sports the better. Make them tough and hungry for future ahead of them...
