| The Presentation Ceremony of the Sean Tallon Memorial Cup |
The Myles Scully Division of Yonkers continued its proud tradition of promoting Irish culture through sports by sponsoring the 4th annual Sean Tallon Memorial Gaelic Football Tournament this past Sunday at Paddy’s Field in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx. The tournament was run in conjunction with the St. Barnabas G.F.C. and the GAA N.Y. Minor Board.
Play the slideshow to see the events of the day!
The division once again welcomed the Under-8 squads from St. Barnabas, St. Raymond’s, N.Y. Celtic and Rangers of N.Y. in the 7 a side competition for the Sean Tallon Memorial Cup. The weather cooperated on this day as we were all blessed with sunny skies and temperatures that rose into the middle 60’s.
