The country's GAA national team arrived and took part in their first 15-a-side Gaelic football game.
"The only way to practice is to come to Ireland because we know this is where the best level is in Gaelic football.”
Jean also plays hurling, which is not as popular as Gaelic football in France, but nevertheless, Jean said he is “adapting the fighting Irish Spirit.” The reason for smaller GAA teams in mainland Europe is because teams only have access to soccer or rugby pitches. Stephen Hegarty, said it’s not really an “official” GAA pitch as its just two soccer pitches put together.“We tried to get the positions down because there are positions that you play with a nine or an eleven a side that don’t actually exist on a larger pitch, but this trip will help us find out who should be playing where” said Mark.At the moment there are currently 30 GAA clubs in France with 1100 registered players in the country.
