Breezy Point, N.Y. -- More than 100 individuals, a number likely to more than double before the day ended, came to Breezy Point on Saturday to demonstrate the draw -- and drawing power -- of Gaelic sports worldwide.

The event, billed Gaelic Sports Day, was produced by Shannon Gaels Gaelic Football Club. The Gaels is the only Minor GAA club, serving the children of Queens with 19 teams, providing them an invaluable opportunity to develop their athletic skills while learning the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. Shannon Gaels GAA, founded in 2002, is the second largest minor club in the New York area, and one of the fastest growing minor clubs in North America.

The morning featured several matches for players over 18,including a side from the NYPD. Left to right are Mary Grady, an unidentified NYPD player, Tommy Dullaghan and NYPD coach Ira Goldman.
