All-Ireland Club Champions Come to Brussels

Tomorrow we welcome All-Ireland Club champions Kilmacud Crokes to the fortress that is Parc50. We’re always trying to get teams over to fill our calended and give guys more reason to want to play so this will be a useful exercise.

Naturally we don’t expect their Senior team but they will be bringing over one of their successful Junior teams. We’ll have two teams and will split them down the middle. As I’ve said in previous blogs, there is a big strong panel there so I’d expect both our teams to be competitive tomorrow.

With three teams, we’ll play a mini tournament with group games and the top two playing in a final. The weather here is savage at the moment and we’re expecting mid twenties tomorrow. Once the football is done with, we’ll be heading down to O’Reillys and from there we’ll take out guests on a tour of the finest pubs Brussels has to offer.

On Sunday, we have a BBQ arranged in the Michael Collins so the merriment will continue from 18 there. All in all it should be a great weekend so if you are in town, get down to Parc50 tomorrow to see a bit of the action.
