CALGARY CHIEFTAINS GAELIC FOOTBALL CLUB (Ladies & Men’s
Gaelic Football Teams) After a short Gaelic Football Recession in
Calgary, the Chieftains came back this year with a vengeance. The
Men beat all comer’s, picking up three tournament titles along the
way, and the women, though beaten twice in our own tournament, came
back to deny Edmonton in their own patch last September. Want to
be a part of a winning team!!! We’re always on the look out for
fresh talent, so contact us. Experience is NOT a requirement. Being
Irish is NOT a requirement. If you’ve played Rugby, Basketball,
Volleyball, Aussie Rules, or Soccer, then Gaelic Football could
well be the sport for you. The Season runs from May to September,
but socially we’ll be beginning from mid-February CALGARY CANADIAN IRISH ATHLETIC CLUB |
