Play Gaelic Football in London

(http://london-gaa.blogspot.com)

Playing gaelic football in London has been around since the inception of the GAA itself, and although the London Gaelic Football team has never won an All-Ireland title, the sport itself is alive and well in the English capital. As you can imagine the London Gaelic football team is made up of players from all over Ireland who base themselves in London and the players selected for the London Gaelic football squad are chosen from the many clubs right across London - there are approximately 26 Gaelic Football clubs in London at the present time, although there were many more in years gone by.

The London Gaelic Football scene is divided into 3 championships (Senior, Intermediate, and Junior) and 3 League divisions (Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3). Currently, the Cuchulainns Gaelic Football team are in the Intermediate Championship and League Division 2, but with great strides being made in recent years (notably the Intermediate League Champions 2003, and Junior Football Champions of 2000 & 2008) we are closing in on our goal of playing Senior Championship football in the next couple of years.

So if you're looking to play gaelic football in London then you've come to the right place here at Cuchulainns. By joining us you can play gaelic football in London for one of the best and friendliest London GAA clubs and enjoy the games and the craic at the same time. We are a very socialable as well as being a competitive gaelic football and hurling club - so come and join us.

The London Gaelic football team itself take part in the National League and All-Ireland championships and this year (2005) almost pulled off a great trimuph over Roscommon in the All-Ireland championship, only to be defeated by one point in the end - that game was played at London GAA headquarters in Ruislip, North West London. So you can see there is great potential for things to happen with the London squad in years to come and by taking part and playing gaelic football in London for a competitive London club like Cuchulainns.

So join in on the action while you're based in London, whether you're here for just a few months, a few years, or for the longterm - whether you're from Antrim or Armagh, Limerick or London, Kerry or Kildare, Tipp or Tyrone or elsewhere in Ireland. We've had players from every county in Ireland join our club over the years so come and make us your home club while you're in London. Cuchulainn Abú!!

We've even had a few Aussie Rules blokes join us as well from time to time - they weren't too bad either, I have to say! So if you've got any Aussie mates lying about getting up to no good, bring them on down to the Cuchulainns and we'll sort them out for ya!

All the Best for Now
