| The Sean Tallon Tournament was held at the Rockland GAA Fields in 2017 |
The 9th
Annual Firefighter Sean Tallon Tournament was held on November
5, 2017 at
its new location in Rockland County
The location
change was the result of a scheduling conflict in which Gaelic Park Bronx became unavailable only days
before the event was to be held. The tournament
avoided having to be rescheduled when Rockland Pearl River .
Once again
the teams were led onto the filed by the FDNY Honor Guard and FDNY Emerald
Society Pipes and Drums. The family of
Sean Tallon was also on hand for the opening ceremony.
The
tournament has continued to grow this year with the addition of 2 teams that traveled
all the way from Boston Suffolk County
The GAA
Minor Board welcomed AOH NY State Vice President Tom Lambert, AOH NY State
