What is Gaelic Football ?

Game of hand and foot using a round ball(slightly smaller than a soccer ball), that combines the skills of Aussie Rules, rugby, soccer, basketball. In Hong Kong we mostly play a 7-a-side version which leads to a fast pace action game that is great for your fitness.

Scores are made by scoring a goal - worth 3 points, or a point (one point) using either hand or foot to strike the ball.

Rather than try and try what some describe as the indescribable, here are a few clips. And eh, dont worry, we dont play to this standard in HK, it's a tad slower and we're of much varying different standards.
