SOUTH OZ SEASON UP
AND RUNNING
If the first round of the

GAA is in for a very exciting season with things having just got

The city of Adelaide is the base for all things Gaelic Sports
in South Australia with competitions taking place over three

of South Australia grounds of St. Mary’s Park.

Similar to last year, we again see the Men’s Gaelic Football
7’s held every Wednesday evening with 10 teams in action
this season. This shortened form of Gaelic Football is specifically designed to introduce local and new players to the
game and to date has been very successful. St. Brendan’s 7’s
team won this competition last year and the sides this season

are Western Ireland, Lions, State Minors, Dingoes, Angrys,
Angrys.5, Irish Australians, Onkas, Beachies and Flinders.
The Gaelic 7’s started on October 14 and with two rounds
played it sees three teams on top with two wins out of two
– Beachies, Onkas and Western Ireland with Beaches in the
