EISB PE Instructor/Athletic Director Ray Foley is not only a Gaelic Sports fan, but an athlete in Ireland’s Gaelic Games, particularly Gaelic Football.
Gaelic Football is an Irish game which, from an layman’s point of view, is a combination of multiple sports: Rugby, basketball, football(soccer), Volleyball, American football, etc.
The game is played on a similar field to football, the objective is to score a “Goal” by kicking or punching the ball into a goal (football), or scoring “Points” by kicking or hand-passing the football between to upright posts above the goal. Stopping the ball includes tackling.
Mr. Ray has played in Ireland, Finland and now in Slovakia. He will play in a tournament this weekend in Vienna. If you’re a sports enthusiast and would you like show support to Mr. Ray, feel free to come and cheer on Mr. Ray and the Slovak Gaelic Football Team.
