The illuminati GAA abroad story continues.

Aisling Kavanagh writes:

The ladies of Dunedin Connollys in Edinburgh have reached the Tesco Homegrown Junior Club GAA Championship Final. This is a first for a Scottish Club.

The team is made up of players from all four provinces as well as a Scot and a Canadian.
We secured our place by beating St Helens of Longford last Sunday and will travel again to Ireland for the final on November 30th.

The commitment from the players has been unreal with girls flying in and out on the day in order to satisfy work commitments as well as their love of the game.

The girls have been fundraising throughout the year but would appreciate any support /sponsorship very much as the trips to play in Ireland have been self funded…

Johnny Logan, a Bohemians supporter since before his first song contest, serenades veteran defender Owen Heary.

Some pipes, in fairness.

Bohs fan Johnny Logan singing at Owen Heary’s Tribute Dinner. Owen has won 7 league titles in a 20 year career playing for Homefarm, Kilkenny City, Shelbourne and Bohemians.

Stay for the Logan chanting.

We’re calling it a Boh-mance.

Bohmance.

Suit yourselves.

I am making a documentary about the world’s most northerly GAA game, which took place last month. The doc itself is not quite ready yet but I have produced a trailer [above] if you think it would be of interest to your readers. Music by the wonderful Hermitage Green.

Meanwhile…

Australia have sensationally suspended six players for their Tests against Wales and Scotland and rapped a further nine for staying out late and drinking in Dublin last week.

The extraordinary sanctions come after the team went out for dinner in groups on Tuesday night, ahead of their day off on Wednesday.

The sanctioned players went out in town after the dinner and came home late after consuming “inappropriate levels of alcohol”, coach Ewen McKenzie said.
