This is a great chance for your kids to get exposed to Gaelic Football to learn the sport, and hopefully register for one of our teams!

Our teams will practice indoors at 2 Lakeside Park in Pawling this winter starting on November 10th, and return to Tymor Park in the Spring for outdoor practices and games. Please email us at [email protected] to register your kids for November 8th! See you there!

In case you have not yet heard...The Dutchess County Griffins are now putting together an adult Gaelic Football team, for men 18 and older. Please contact [email protected] to register or if you have any questions.

All are welcome- prior experience playing the game or not. Our home field will be at Tymor Park, but many games are likely to be played down at Gaelic Park in the Bronx. We expect to have practices this fall, occasional indoor practices over the winter, and compete against the other teams in the New York GAA in the 2021 season.

ATTENTION Local & Semi local friends: the Dutchess County GAA is starting to look into putting a Gaelic Football team together for adults (18+). All are welcome- prior experience playing the game or not. Our home field would be at Tymor Park, but many games would likely be played down at Gaelic Park in the Bronx.
Contingent on how how quickly a team is put together...it is likely we could be looking at some indoor practices over the winter and practices in the early Spring 2021 to hopefully be competing against other teams by 2021.
If you or any friends are interested, please message me or email [email protected] .
