Malin GAA
Malin GAA is a Gaelic games club based in Malin in County Donegal, Ireland. It is the northernmost GAA club in Ireland. This tends to cause logistical struggles during the league as many of their rivals are a great distance away. One example of the distance travelled would be the 320-kilometre round trip required to play an away fixture to Naomh Columba. History The club participated in the Donegal Senior Football Championship from 2004 onwards. It was also club of the year in 2003. Declan Walsh, a member of the 2012 All-Ireland winning county team, played for them. The club is also home to 2012's "Number One Real Supporter", according to a national survey. Liam Bradley, previously manager of the Antrim county football team, was an unexpected managerial appointment by the club in January 2015. He left the same year. The 2019 Donegal Senior Football Championship resulted in the club's descent to the intermediate ranks. Notable players * Declan Walsh — 2012 All-Irela ...

Gaelic Games
Gaelic games ( ga, Cluichí Gaelacha) are a set of sports played worldwide, though they are particularly popular in Ireland, where they originated. They include Gaelic football, hurling, Gaelic handball and rounders. Football and hurling, the most popular of the sports, are both organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). Women's versions of hurling and football are also played: camogie, organised by the Camogie Association of Ireland, and ladies' Gaelic football, organised by the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association. While women's versions are not organised by the GAA (with the exception of handball, where men's and women's handball competitions are both organised by the GAA Handball organisation), they are closely associated with it but are still separate organisations. Gaelic games clubs exist all over the world. They are Ireland's most popular sports, ahead of rugby union and association football. Almost a million people (977,723) attended 45 GAA senior championshi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
