A New Dawn

Time To Catch Up

There's been a lot of things happening with the KCGAC, let's catch you up on the next big thing:

The Celtic Ranch Cup

The first Gaelic Football match in Kansas City is set for this Sunday,
September 28, 4:00pm.
You will want to be there.

This is an inter-club match, a chance to test ourselves, our skills and our endurance. The KCGAC has had a more than successful beginning. We've been knocking down club goals left and right.
And to celebrate: We present the Celtic Ranch Cup.
Named after the KCGAC's prime sponsor, The Celtic Ranch of Weston, Mo., we hope to have this match reoccur as an annual event.

So come on out and enjoy some great Gaelic Football and plenty of craic afterward. We'll be drawing the winner of the jersey raffle at this time.

KCIF '08

The Kansas City Irish Fest was bigger and better than ever before. And besides the great music and craic, the reason it was so good was, well, us.
Every member who came out and volunteered their time did an outstanding job recruiting and telling the story of the Gaelic Games and the KCGAC. Drake and Andrew worked especially hard.
Accomplishments:

• Led a Gaelic Games workshop
• Manned a booth
• Explained & Demonstrated the Gaelic Games to many hundreds of people
  
• Signed up 120 people
• Quaffed many a pint
• Ate some really large fish
• Raised a lot of money for the club through sticker sales and the raffle for a Wicked Sweet Jersey™
  

We also presented a club jersey to Terry from the Celtic Ranch, our primary sponsor.

You're in the Army now...

Wanted to update folks on one of our young members who has gone off to learn how to be a leader of warriors.
Matt is one of the founders of the KCGAC.
Unfortunately for us, obviously good for the country, he's off at West Point learning to be all he can be.
Here's a great photo of Matt in battle-rattle:

We're all very proud of Matt.

Welcome To The Pitch

After KCIF, we found ourselves doubled in size. It's been fantastic to see dozens of new people at training these past couple of Sundays. We've added people of all skill levels and it's great to see everyone take to these sports.
Several people have been working very hard behind the scenes to make this Club happen. And we're all very glad to see that it is. It's been very rewarding. The sky's the limit.

So welcome to all the new folks!

Now sign up for the blog and pay your dues. ;-)

Up the Gaelic!!
See you on the Pitch!!
