International Rules

In a sign that the controversial hybrid game is decreasing the gap between Aussie Rules and Gaelic Football, West Dublin Saints FC (who compete in the ARFLI) have announced they will play St. James Aldergrove GAA club in International Rules Football.

The match is scheduled to take place on Saturday March 14th at the GAA club's home ground. After the Saints had hoped to play the hybrid game against Trinity College GAA in February, the match was called off due to bad weather. They still hope to play this match. Despite this, West Dublin are pleased to play the Belfast based team in March. West Dublin have consistently performed well in Ireland's Aussie Rules competition.
