GAELIC SPORTS WORLD Issue 35 – October 6, 2015 | Page 2
FOREWORD FROM THE EDITOR
In our Feature this issue we return to
profiling a GAA club on the international
scene.
Whether it is Asia, the US, Canada or
Europe the similarities in how a GAA club
is born remain consistent in that it’s usually
St. Patrick the one responsible for making
things tick. Making things stick however is
altogether another proposition.
Whether one is religious or not, the saint
had a passion for his calling travelling the
length and breadth of the island of Ireland
in his missionary work. In his name that
passion is celebrated annually each March
when Irish people come together especially
those in far off lands.
In the city of Seville in southern Spain, Irish
immigrant’s some years back, reconnected
on St. Patrick’s Day and shared a vision of
a different passion, the playing of Gaelic
sports in their new home.
The Eire Og Sevilla club was born and over
the past six years has grown to become part
of the local community and in the process
established several firsts from both a local
sporting and GAA perspective in the region.
We take a look at how they are
endeavouring to make things stick.
