GAELIC SPORTS WORLD Issue 34 – September 19, 2015 | Page 12

VANCOUVER EXPERIENCE
The Ladies final saw Calgary and Vancouver battle it
out in an absorbing encounter, and it was the ladies
from BC that got off to the better start. Despite this,
the Calgary girls took some great scores and were just a
couple of points adrift at half-time. However, the Vancouver ladies showed their experience and were once
again crowned Tom Gibbons Cup champions, making it a double win for the Vancouver Senior football
teams.
CALGARY MAKE HISTORY
History was made as Calgary and Edmonton met in
the first ever Western Canadian Hurling Final, and it
was another great game with some hugely impressive
skills shown throughout the course of the game. There
was great excitement at the final whistle, with Calgary crowned deserving winners following some very
strong performances throughout the weekend. Earlier
in the day, Regina were crowned junior winners following their win over Vancouver, making it a double
for the Regina lads.
Overall, it was a wonderful weekend of GAA and it
was fabulous to witness some of the skills and talent
displayed over both days – Gaelic games really is flourishing here in Western Canada. A huge thanks must
also be extended to Edmonton, and particularly Dennis O Sullivan, Wolfe Tones Club President, for doing a
great job in hosting this year’s finals.
