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 Ladies match followed the men’s, and was worth the wait as both teams traded scores in a match played at an exhilirating pace. Katie Daly, who was newly arrived in India, had set up the first India Wolfhounds Ladies team, turning up to the first training session at a patch of grass by the side of one of New Delhi’s busiest roads, not knowing how it would turn out, and started with a couple of ladies training alongside the men, but built up a team in time for the match. They intended to enter the 2019 Asia Gaelic Games following this encounter, taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 8th-10th November.3
