Non-GAC Activites
St. Patrick's Gaelic Football Club
St. Patrick's began in 2003 as a dream of several people who grew up playing the sport in Ireland and wanted to provide the opportunity to children in Fairfield County. In their very first year, their newly formed youth team won the GAA U10-B Championship in New York and the U14-B Championship for the past 2 years. The skills learned are easily transferred to other sports like soccer & rugby, both of which grew out of Gaelic Football. The excitement is unlike any other.
