This spring, the Gaels are proud to once again run Sport FUNdamentals and Development through Gaelic Football, in conjunction with the City of Rockville. This program for 5-6 and 7-8 year-olds is designed to introduce the child to the basic skills of sport. Classes run on Saturday morning, April 12 through May 17, from 9:30-10:30 for ages 5-6 and from 10:30-11:30 for ages 7-8. Signups for Rockville residents begin Friday; February 29, 2008 Signups for non-residents begin Friday; March 14, 2008 All sports have some basic common skills that must be learned at a young age. If the child does not get appropriate instruction to develop those skills, they will be lost and the child may never be able to regain the skill at an older age. Our coaches have recently been certified in the coaching of sport fundamentals and we expect to provide a healthy and FUN alternative to other competition based and intimidating environments.

![[GAA 125th Anniversary Logo]](/images/stories/n102202673232_8245.jpg "Celebrating 125 Years of the GAA") One hundred and twenty-five years ago, a group of men met in a hotel in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, to divine a way to preserve Irish language and culture in the face of emigration, poverty and outside influences. From that meeting emerged the Gaelic Athletic Association. Within months, hurling and football clubs sprang up around the country. As the Irish spread across the globe, so too did their sports and with them, the GAA. Since 1988, the Washington, D.C. Gaels have been proud to carry on that tradition, and can boast of being the only club in North America to win titles in hurling, camogie and men's and women's football.
This anniversary year finds the history of the GAA being celebrated by clubs around the world. For our part, the Gaels are proud to host a day of Gaelic games on Saturday, June 27th at Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, MD. The day-long event will be highlighted a by a ladies' football tournament, featuring Thurles-Sarsfields, one of the oldest clubs in Ireland, from the birthplace of the GAA. Teams from Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Thurles, and Washington, D.C. will be participating in the day's games. In addition to the ladies' football, a hurling match between the Gaels and their old rivals the Philadelphia Shamrocks (2008 North American Jr. A Champions) will take place. There will also be demos of camogie and youth football. Admission to the event will be free. We hope you will be able to join us for this celebration of Irish culture! Help spread the word!

Saturday proved to be a mixed bag for the Gaels, but half of the teams playing advanced to Sunday's finals.
Jr B Hurling defeated Denver in a cracking match with Terence Kane knocking in the deciding goal late in the second half. D.C. prevailed 3-18 to 5-10. The Gaels will face Seattle for the championship Sunday morning.
Jr C Hurling was forced to forfeit their match against Allentown, as most of the players had to be promoted to B, after a Friday night schedule change.
Men's Football defeated Denver 4-18 to 3-10 and will play Austin for the title.
Ladies' Intermediate Football lost a very disappointing match to San Francisco Saoirse, 1-8, 1-2
Camogie toppled Milwaukee for the Junior Camogie Championship, 3-2 to 0-2
