The
legacy of a local Yonkers hero was remembered this past Sunday as The AOH of
Yonkers presented the 5th Annual Firefighter Sean Tallon Memorial Gaelic
Football Tournament, held at Paddy’s Field in Woodlawn. The tournament is held in conjunction with
the G.A.A. Minor Board of New York each October.
 |
| The Tournament includes local youth teams from The Bronx and Yonkers |
The tournament is named after N.Y.C.
Firefighter Sean Patrick Tallon, who lost his life in the terrorist attacks on
The World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
 |
| The competition was fierce! |
Once again, the four local Under-8 youth
teams (St. Raymond’s, St. Barnabas, NY Rangers and NY Celtic) competed in a
round robin tournament to crown this year’s winner of The Sean Tallon Memorial
Cup.
