History
Formed in October 2007 by a handful of enthusiastic men and women, initial training basically involved getting as many people as possible out on a Sunday afternoon, (no mean feat in Spain!) and introducing the game of Gaelic football to the newcomers. Read more...

No luck in Barcelona with both mens and ladies teams losing all their games, which in turn pushed both teams into 3rd place in the final standings of the Iberian Championship. Disappointing considering how promising it looked earlier on in the year but this just means we will have to come back even more prepared and determined next year.
Amunt!

DISAPPOINTMENT IN VALENCIA AGAIN
Yet another home tournament, and yet again Sant Vicent failed to use it to their advantage. This time it was the girls turn and to be fair, they came up against an excellent Madrid team, and only narrowly lost to a much improved Barcelona team. Despite the losses there were a few bright spots such as the encouraging debuts from Maria and Sinéad, and the outstanding perfomance of the always consistent Laura Sahuquillo who eventually won the MVP award. The tournament was actually the first round in the European Championship as well as the second round of the Iberian Championship, but because of the airport closures no team could travel, which means that the first 3 places in the European Championship all come from Iberia!

VALENCIA DOMINATE IN MARBELLA
The 2nd round of the Iberian championship took place in Marbella this weekend and it was the most succesful outing so far in Sant Vicents short history with the men winning their round in amazing style, and the girls making their final only to lose out by a solitary point. The girls shouldn´t feel too down though as this was easily the best perfomance we have seen from them with every single girl playing with a confidence that bodes well for the rest of the year.
The mens tournament was a huge boost after the disappointment of the first round two weeks ago, and they now have six weeks to prepare for the Madrid tournament where the hosts will be looking for revenge after losing the final here in Marbella.
Congratulations to Adam Whyte on being awarded the MVP for the day.
AMUNT VALENCIA!!
