A SENIOR football challenge between a traveling Galway squad of policemen will take on the local police force in a contest that should prove to be well worth the visit for the NY spectators on Saturday at Gaelic Park.

A few well known New Yorkers will be lining out, with Danny Sullivan, Pat Doherty, John Walsh, Paul Galvin and Barry Annette expected to be in the New York lineup. These contests have a long history as the New York squad has played a number of games in Ireland over the past number of years.

It will also be a very welcome challenge for the NYPD as they will be facing the Dublin CIE in a contest as a curtain raiser to the Galway vs. New York FBD contest on October 19.

On Sunday, October 5 the youth of New York under the auspices of the New York Minor Board will be served with an all day under eight seven a side tournament. It will begin at noon and culminate with the finals at 6 p.m.
