The Gaelic football All Stars are coming to the Irish Cultural Center on Saturday, November 29. The GAA community in Boston and the Northeast will be treated to the showcase game featuring the cream of the crop from Ireland on the main field at the ICC. Not only that, but the local players will get a chance to show their stuff as a Boston select team will meet New York in a match that makes the Red Sox versus Yankees rivalry pale in comparison. The nominations for this year’s All Star team are in. The team and the Player of the Year will be named on Friday, October 24 at the Convention Center in Dublin.
