Report
The first ever Gaelic Football Internationals in India took place on Friday, 10th May 2019 in Thyagaraj Stadium, New Delhi. Both Men’s and Women’s matches were played between the hosts India Wolfhounds and Qatar GAA. Qatar GAA brought together players from all over the Gulf Island, with players from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Offaly and Clare as well as India, Netherlands, Argentina, Britain and USA. The India Wolfhounds were restarted after a gap of three years for the match.2
The men’s match started vigourously, with Derry’s George McCallion scoring the first ever point in a GAA match on Indian soil, however, Rajveer “Raj” Chouvarry scored some delighful points, including one chip of the Qatar GAA goalkeeper. The game was played in great spirit and phenomenal workrate and skill in the New Delhi heat.3
