St Pauls will be hosting an Over 35s ‘deterMND’ seven-a-side Gaelic football tournament on Saturday 23rd November from 11.00 am, supported by their good neighbours O’Donovan Rossa and Patrick Sarsfields GAA clubs.
30 teams, ourselves included, from Antrim and beyond have signed up for this prestigious event. A star studded line up of past county players from Antrim, Derry and Tyrone’s 1990’s & 2000’s era along with a host of other big name ex-county footballers will be in attendance. Compere for the day will be Mark Sidebottom of BBCs ‘The Championship’ fame.
Groups will be released on twitter (@StPaulsGAC) in the coming days. Please reference @StPaulsGAC and @deterMND in all you tweets in relation to this event.
After the games the focus moves into the club where a group of some of the best traditional musicians take to the stage.
Players and spectators are encouraged to bring along their instruments and join in.
