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…

The OECD said Ireland may miss its target of cutting the deficit to 3% of GDP in 2015 which has been a cornerstone of its recovery plans. The OECD predicted the deficit would be 3.1% in 2015.
