ABCs expand to two venues — Tir Chonnail Gaels, Greenford and McGovern Park, Ruislip

This year the annual The All -Britain Competition will take place from July 6 and 9 at two venues in London.

Entering its 11th year, the tournament is a festival of Gaelic Games for clubs and schools in Britain.

The event that catered from U7 to U17 is scheduled for Tír Chonaill Gaels in Greenford and McGovern Park, Ruislip this coming July.

Over 100 volunteers from all over Britain will assist with the running of the event and due to their hard work, Ruislip is being added as a second venue for the 2023 event

Britain GAA's Head of Games Development and Operations, Stephen Lavery said: "Expanding to the two venue format is a huge logistical feat, but one the ABC committee have been working hard on since October of last year,” he explains.

"This year there are going to be roughly 700 games across the two venues over the four days. It is a pretty phenomenal achievement, really."

The ABC committee have been meeting since October last year to begin planning for this year's event.

The event will be sponsored by The Irish Post, ESB, and O'Neills again this year

Commenting on the continued partnership, The Irish Post said: "We are delighted to be sponsoring the ABC's this year in its 11th year.

"Last year's turnout after a delay with Covid was something very special.

"It was great to see so many old and new faces enjoy our national games once again, and this year should be no different

'It is testament to the efforts of GAA’s organisers that the event continues to grow year on year. The diversity of the games is very refreshing to see and long may it continue.

'We know that this year's event will be extra special. If the weather is anything like it has been for so many years before, we should be in for a treat.

"We look forward to seeing so many smiling young faces and we are sure it will be another memorable weekend for all involved.

Every child who participates gets a hot meal
