GAELIC SPORTS WORLD Issue 18 – January 24, 2015 | Page 2

FOREWORD FROM THE EDITOR GAELIC SPORTS WORLD PUBLISHER: Our look ahead to the 2015 GAA World scene continues with focus this time on Britain, Canada, Australasia (Australia & New Zealand) and the Middle East. Britain, in terms of its proximity to Ireland, sees many of its GAA teams able to compete in Irish leagues and championships. Indeed, it is an exciting moment for British GAA with three teams in action in Ireland this weekend. In other areas of the world like Canada, Australasia and the Middle East - far away from the GAA homeland geographic size hinders organization but still there is a steady and growing games schedule each year. One must credit those behind the scenes in making events like the Australasian Games, the Western Canada GAA Championships and the Middle East GAA League exist in the first place and to keep things ticking over. Also in this edition, the GAA Business column returns for the year ahead.
