Report
A good competition
Nippon took on Gaelic Lions at SAS. The Japanese team has been struggling to get the usual squad due to so many injuries and business trips, and this match also saw a very different set up compared to the regular team. Nevertheless, we had a very good competition and enjoyed the game. End score was 1-2 and the Gaelics got a well deserved win. A big congratulations for the victory! Thank you to the refs for the quality game.

Report
Gaelic managed to pull a victory from the claws of defeat against a very spirited Nippon side! Jack and Shane took part in the late flurry for us and it was probably harsh on Nippon because of how hard they worked but we also never gave up hope. Well done to all involved including the officials!
