Two lady Colmcilles’ kick-started the season by travelling last weekend to Holland to represent the team and club. Angela Buechler and Lauren McLaughlin played in the Den Haag Invitation Gaelic football tournament on March 13th as well as took part in their St. Patrick´s day festivities. They supported and joined the Holland ladies team during the tournament and played 3 matches against 2 visiting Irish teams and the ladies team from Brussels. As a friendly tournament, it was a good opportunity to get to know the other teams in a more non-competitive environment. Due to the fact the ladies have not been in training, it was a bit of a fitness challenge for both. However, and fortunately, the only managed to come back to Munich with one black eye and a few sore muscles.

They would like to say thank you to the Hague GAA club for hosting such a well organized and entertaining tournament and for allowing them to participate in the event. Also, a special thanks to the Holland ladies for letting Lauren and Angie join their team…and for being so kind to their enemies.
After a long, cold and snowy winter, the Munich Colmcilles spirit has been rekindled and now we are ready for the 1st training session on March 27th at 10a.m. Let the season begin!!
