A little bit of history was made last weekend when no less
than 5 clubs traveled from Boston to New York’s Randall’s Island to participate
in the John Joe Cassidy seven a side tournament. The
tournament appears to be growing in popularity 200 miles by interstate 95. It comes at an ideal time for clubs to kick
off the season and is a great team builder.
2013 winners, Wolfe Tones, were joined by the Connemara
Gaels, Cork, Galway, and Christopher’s.
The Tones were the only side to make it out of their group,
defeating fellow Boston club the Connemara Gaels, Mayo and Brooklyn Shamrocks
on the way. Having lost to Cavan New
York in the group stages the Tones faced the New Yorkers again in the final and
lost out by five points. Many of the
visitors remained on Sunday to watch Cavan playing New York at Gaelic
Park. All in all a great weekend away
for the Boston clubs.
