  • "Repatriation & Resilience" James Green Ultramarathon Story for the Kevin Bell Trust.

    This week on the show, I chatted with James Green, a young man running over 50k for a great cause. It was an inspiring conversation you won't want to miss.James Greene is fundraising for The Kevin Bell Repatriation TrustJames Greene, a 24-year-old trainee solicitor from County Armagh, is organizing a 50-kilometer ultramarathon in New York City on March 15, 2025, to raise funds for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust (KBRT). This charity assists bereaved families in Ireland by alleviating the financial burden of repatriating loved ones who have died abroad

    James Greene is fundraising for The Kevin Bell Repatriation TrustJames's route begins in Woodside, Queens" where he once lived” and concludes at Rory Dolans Bar and Restaurant in Woodlawn, the Bronx, where Kevin Bell resided. The path also passes notable landmarks such as Yankee Stadium and Gaelic Park, where Kevin Bell was scheduled to play on the day of his tragic accident.


    Motivated by his experiences in New York and a deep connection to the KBRT mission, James aims to raise at least £1,000, reflecting the typical costs associated with a single repatriation, ranging from a few thousand pounds to up to £20,000.

  • New York Minor Board G.A.A. Chairman Danny Brown

    This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Danny Brown the Chairman of the New York Minor Board, we had a very interesting and informative chat, and I hope you enjoy it. Below are a few links if you want to learn more about the NY Minor Board GAA

    In 1970 a group of dedicated volunteers came together and formed the New York Minor Board. This board was dedicated to the development of the GAA in the tri-state area and within a few years 19 clubs from all over NYC, New Jersey and Connecticut had affiliated to the board with competitions from U10-U21. Several of the clubs that were formed back in those early years are still around today with clubs such as NY Rangers, St Raymonds, St Joesphs, Rockland, St Barnabas, Westput, New Haven and the NY Celtics tracing their origins back to the early 1970’s. Some of the clubs that existed then that do not exist now are Fordham Shamrocks, Fordham Gaelic Athletic Club, Good Shepherd (Inwood), JFK (Long Island), Park Slope Shamrocks (Brooklyn), New Hyde Park Gaels (Long Island)
