Gaelic Football - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia gaelic football. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. gaelic football is a competitive sport played mainly in Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_football
Extractions: 6 Notes Though it has existed for centuries, it was formally arranged into an organised playing code by the Gaelic Athletic Association in the late nineteenth century. Male and female leagues of the game exist. Gaelic football's rules are most similar to Australian Rules Football , and it is widely believed that Irish games were a significant influence on the Australian game. Since the late 20th Century , Gaelic and Australian rules teams have played each other in International Rules matches, in which compromise rules based on both games are used. Modern gaelic football is played with a round leather ball, similar to that used in soccer The game is played on a ground similar to a rugby pitch. The goals, located at each end have a scoring system involving posts that are shaped like a letter 'H'. If the ball is kicked into the lower section (which is guarded by a goalkeeper), a

Extractions: Let me first sound a note of caution to the host club, the production of this very programme is not without relevance to the ultimate destination of the trophy at least if previous experience is to be repeated. When U.C.C last hosted the Sigerson Cup in 1973, the programme editor, charged with the onerous task of marrying unbridled literary expression to hard-nosed financial realism, chose a committee to seek out sponsorship for his magnum opus. This dedicated group, having shrewdly decided to place chief emphasis on the licensed drink trade would gather daily in the quad, circa midday, and depart t lobby potential sponsors, returning late in the evening in a somewhat dazed fashion. The fact that the daily expedition contained several stalwarts of the Sigerson team may not be entirely unconnected with the result of our opening game which read Maynooth 2-16, U.C.C 1-4. The Mardyke in 1969 was however a much happier occasion for home followers, when the Sigerson was annexed after easy wins over U.C.d and U.C.G, despite our losing four players through injury in Saturdays semi-final. The occasion was also noteworthy for the diplomatic excellence attained by the selectors in choosing a team which comprised of a Dublin goalkeeper, Kerry full-back line, Cork half-back line, Waterford and Limerick midfield, Kerry half-forward line and Cork full-forward line.

Extractions: part of the Dublin Uncovered guide to Dublin, Ireland. Welcome to the Dublin GAA Football Section, which is a guide to Gaelic Football in Dublin. This includes general information on Gaelic Football itself and its history, as well as info on the Dublin team itself and links to latest news, information and results. The Dublin GAA team play in Parnell Park in Santry for league matches, and Croke Park in Drumcondra for Championship matches. There are also a number of club teams in the capital, from which the Dublin county players are selected. You can get info on the club teams and fixtures and results at the Dublin Official Site, Hill 16 . The Dublin County team compete in two campaigns, The League and The Championship. Information on these can also be seen on the Dublin Hill 16 site. Gaelic Football is best described as a mixture of soccer and rugby, though it predates both of these. It is a field game which is also similar to Australian Rules Football. It is believed that Australian Rules Football evolved from Gaelic Football through the thousands of Irish people who were either deported or have emigrated to Australia since the middle of the nineteenth century. The origins of Gaelic football predate recorded history, while the Gaelic Athletic Association(GAA) was set up in 1884 by a nationalist Michael Cusack. Today one of the main stands at Croke Park in Dublin is named after him. The GAA was set up to not only promote gaelic games(football, hurling, handball, camogie and rounders), but also to promote the Irish language, music and dance. Today it is the largest sporting association in Ireland

Extractions: Club Hurling Organisation GAA Euro-GAA Euro Clubs Camogie ... Links Gaelic Football is the dominant sport in Ireland. Although not nearly as old as hurling it has long been the number one national sport with the most clubs and players. Gaelic Football has often been described as a mixture of soccer and rugby, it is claimed to be older than both of those games. It is also thought to be the father of the modern Australian game of Aussie Rules probably introduced to Australia by the thousands of Irish people who emigrated or were deported to Australia from the middle of the 19th centuary. Gaelic football is played with a round ball, slightly smaller and heavier than a soccer ball. The playing field is the same as hurling approximately 137m long and 82m wide, and the goals are also the same, a H shape with a crossbar a little higher than the crossbar on soccer goals, and lower than the crossbar on rugby goals. During play the football can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or "hand-passed", a striking motion with the hand or fist. After every four steps the ball must be either bounced or "solo-ed", an action of dropping the ball onto the foot and kicking it back into the hand. You may not bounce the ball twice in a row. To score, you put the ball over the crossbar by foot or hand / fist for one point or under the crossbar and into the net by foot or the hand / fist in certain circumstances for a goal, the latter being the equivalent of three points.

Gaelic Football & Hurling Association Of Australasia gaelic football Hurling Association of Australasia. HOME, FAILTE Welcome to the gaelic football Hurling Association of Australasia website. http://www.gaelicfootball.com.au/
Extractions: Gaelic Football - "the all-round game" of hand, foot and round ball skills - has been played across Australia and NZ for several decades by Irish immigrants, visa workers and backpackers keen to play the national sport of their youth. In Sydney and Melbourne the ancient game of Hurling also is played. These days Gaelic football is played by women, men, boys and girls of all backgrounds across all states of Australia (Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane) and in Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. Partly this is a result of fewer Irish immigrants since the Irish economic boom of the 1990s but primarily it reflects the enthusiasm of Aussies and Kiwis finding the excitement and joy of the world's best all-round game. In Australasia and indeed wherever Gaelic football is played [Ireland, Nth America, UK, Europe, east Asia] Women's football is experiencing particularly strong growth. The Australasian Women's team have won the past two Gaelic Football World Cups in Dublin in 2000 and 2002. Women's Gaelic footy allows women and girls to "bend it like Beckham" but retain much of their netball and basketball skills in the one relatively non-contact game. In 2001 Gaelic football met the stringent criteria of the Australian Sports Commission to become an officially accredited sport in this country. This allows the game easier access to school PE curriculum. Where development officers have taken the game to schools it has been enthusiastically received by students and PE teachers as a great fun sport for all-round physical coordination of hand and foot skills as well as assisting aerobic fitness. In a way Gaelic football combines the skills of the two big world games of soccer and basketball.

Extractions: St. Mary's University College Gaelic Football Club is a constituent club of the G.A.A. with a proud history of acheivement in Higher Education football. Despite its small size, the Ranch, as it is popularly known, has been able to compete at the same standards as the main universities of Ireland. It has won the inter-university championship, the Sigerson Cup, and maintained its position in Division IB of the HE league, the Ryan Cup. The Ranch tradition began in Trench House when that was St. Joseph's College. While the college has changed, through amalgamation with St. Mary's and more recently the closure of Trench House, the tradition continues. The Ranch has contributed greatly to college life over the years both on sporting and social levels. The influence of past Ranchers is keenly experienced in many schools and clubs. Past members of the Ranch have gone on to play a major role in Gaelic football throughout Ulster and beyond, both as players of renown and as coaches and managers. It would be true to say that the Ranch has played no small part in the recent predominance of Ulster counties at the national level of the game.

Each year the team has competed in the prestigious Dowd Cup with 1996 seeing the team win the McNally Plate. The following year the success continued when the team progressed to the final of the Dowd Cup only to be unfortunately beaten by Queen's. In 2000 the girls again advanced to the Dowd Cup final after an exhausting semi-final win over Queens. The final was every much as competitive, yet disappointment was to loom over the team for another year after a narrow defeat by Jordanstown.

Extractions: Gaelic Football The game originated in Ireland and became popular in the 16th century. Originally, all the able-bodied men of a town or parish participated with 25 to 100 players per side The game would start midway between two towns or parishes and ended when the ball crossed the boundary line of one side. The modern rules were produced in 1884 by the Gaelic Athletic Association. Throwing or carrying the ball is not allowed, and the 15 players in each side kick, punt, punch or dribble the ball by bouncing it continuously while moving. The goals consist of two vertical posts and a horizontal crossbar, below which is a net. Points are scored by kicking or punching the ball over the crossbar or into the net
