The Young Irelands Gaelic Football Club held a successful night of boxing (and some sumo wrestling) last weekend. It was all to raise money for the club. See our photos and video from photographers Eileen Mcelroy and Una Mullan.

Put up your dukes (and your cash) and put the local GAA club’s “Fight Night” on your card.

The US Rugby League team took back the cup from the Irish Wolfhounds on St. Patrick’s Day in Chester. And the Msgr. Bonner High School rugby team trounced the St. Augustine Prep School Friars. We have photos!

For the second consecutive year, the rugby league’s Irish Wolfhounds will travel to Pennsylvania for a match-up against the USA Tomahawks in the St. Patrick’s Day Donnybrook Cup. The US coach shared some of his strategy with us.

It had glamour, gorgeous costumes, great dancing, and the Delco Gael’s Gaelic sports club must have made a bundle from their creative fundraiser, “Dancing Like a Star.” More than 700 people showed up to cheer on eight couples who practiced for months for this dance competition. Check out our photos for all the action–and to see who won!

The Delco Gaels Gaelic athletic organization is holding a “Dance Like a Star” event to raise money to send their kids to Chicago for the championships. They’re looking for a few volunteers to enter this DWTS-like dancing contest. Do you have game?

A local fight fan makes sure that Philly’s boxing greats, like Irish-American boxer Eddie Cool, are never forgotten, though they’re gone. Meet John DiSanto and his “Gravestone Program.”
