Season 2018 was a big one for the Galway Magpies AFL
Ireland team both on and off the pitch.
The men's side came agonizingly close to winning the
ultimate prize, losing the grand final to the Belfast Redbacks.
While the Women's team played their first official
match for competition points in the AFL Ireland women's league.
And now the only AFL-Ireland team in the west of the
country is getting ready to fly again in 2019.
With the new season fast approaching, the magpies
will be hosting a open/recruitment day for both men and women on Saturday, 2nd
March at the Claddagh (the swamp) in Galway City.
It's a great chance for anyone interested in trying
Aussie rules to have a go with no commitment necessary.
Find out how the skills of a Gaelic Footballer can
easily transfer to the game of Aussie rules on March 2nd.
