About
About Viet Celts
The Viet Celts made history last year without even kicking a ball. Simply gathering in a field and posing for a photograph with an iconic O'Neill's Gaelic football was proof enough that the first ever Vietnam-based Gaelic Football club had been born.
Viet Celts: Asian County Board
With players from Australia, England, the US, Vietnam, France, as well as Ireland, the Viet Celts diligently began training, under the patient guidance of the head coach Colm Ross, in preparation for the Asian Gaelic Games, a seven-a-side tournament held in Singapore in June 2007.
Viet Celts off to Singapore: Time Out
In October this year the Viet Celts will travel to Penang, Malaysia to take part in the Asian Gaelic Games 2008 with the kind sponsorship of Tiger Air.
