Brisbane GAA Recovers from Floods – Sunday, May 15 – Jermoe Quinn Media

The January floods hit Brisbane hard when their clubhouse went under 2.4 metres of water but the GAA community has rallied to get their games back on track.

On Sunday, May 15, six games were played in stunning sunshine on one pitch while it is hoped that two other pitches will be in use very soon.

See here some highlights from Sunday’s return to action, including comments from some Brisbane GAA personalities.

Gaelic Park flooded including QGFA club house.

As many of you aware, there has been major flooding over south east Queensland and Gaelic Park, Willawong has also been impacted.

Today was the first chance to inspect the damage with flood water moving away and allowing access.

It has been reported that the water reached around two meters leaving only the ceiling undamaged.

We will post more information and photos when available.
