GAA WORLD IN PHOTOS QUEENSLAND GAA’S ANNUAL IRISH FESTIVAL ‘FAMILY DAY’ AT WILLAWONG GAA PARK, BRISBANE. QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA MARCH 8, 2015 It’s March Madness, not in terms of US college basketball, but rather activities of a Gaelic Sports World nature. The month of March of course is that time of year when Irish people throughout the world celebrate their culture courtesy of a certain St. Patrick but it’s also a time when it signals the arrival of Spring and the first salvos of Gaelic Sports activity outdoors by GAA clubs globally. Spring heralds new beginnings with opening tournaments and leagues, training as well as fun and festive activity. The latter elements are important factors in building club, community and sports enjoyment. The follow photography feature relays such instances in just a few corners of the GAA World. The scene is set for ‘Family Day’ at Willawong with the ‘Park’ looking in pristine shape. The new GAA season in Brisbane is just around the corner. Photo: Shamrocks GFC. 10
