  • Nov 01,2011

New York Ladies invite you to the Mattie Farrelley 7s!
 
Are you interested in taking part in the New York Ladies 7s in Gaelic Park next May?

New York Ladies would like to invite your club to take part in our annual Mattie Farrelley 7 a side tournament on Saturday May 26th 2012. Our Annual 7 a side tournament is the biggest event for Ladies Football on the East Coast of the United States and we would be delighted to welcome your club for an unforgettable weekend experience of football in the Big Apple.

This year we welcomed Waterfords own Ballymacarbery to New York and the Ballymac girls went on to win the prestigious Mattie Farrelley trophy defeating Cavan New York in the final. The girls had the trip of a lifetime and managed to fit in a weekend of shopping in Jersey Gardens, sightseeing in Manhatten and football in the Bronx into an amazing four day experience !!!

Ballymacarbery then took on the New York Ladies in front of a packed Gaelic Park on the Sunday in what was a fantastic contest to finish the football over the weekend. The girls then had a reception in Danny Macs and Rory Dolans on the Sunday on McLean avenue enjoying a taste of an Irish night out in Woodlawn. New York GAA was able to assist with accomodation for all the girls keeping the costs of the trip to a minimum.
