All Britain Competition Cancelled

Due to adverse weather conditions, the inaugural All Britain Competition (ABC) has been cancelled.

The event was due to take place next weekend, July 20-22 in Greenford, London. The ABC is a weekend tournament of Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football for children and youths aged U8 to U18 from all across Britain.

The tournament will now be rescheduled for a later date in 2012.

2012 will see the inaugural "O'Neill's" All Britain Competition (ABC) being held at Tir Chonaill Park, Greenford London from the 20th July - 22nd July.

The ABC steering committee is delighted that "O'Neill's" are the title sponsor of the competition. As well as this they are pleased to have "The Irish Post" as their official media partners.

The weekend promises to be a family event filled with fun and excitement with games taking place from Friday 20th July culminating with the finals being played on Sunday 22nd July.

There will be a marquee serving food on-site all day and each player will get one meal per day free of charge.

In addition to this, entertainment will be provided over the course of the weekend with Irish dancing as well as traditional Irish music.

The Competition seeks to highlight the hard work and commitment of the various volunteers throughout Britain as well as providing children from all over Britain with an opportunity to compete and test their skills against their peers.
