France are coming to Dublin for three Gaelic football matches against some of the capital’s top teams
There is no word yet of Thierry Henry ’s involvement, but France could do with the former Arsenal star when they visit Dublin later this month for three Gaelic football matches.
Henry, whose infamous handball cost Ireland a place at the 2010 World Cup, won’t be involved, but a team of his compatriots will face three top Dublin clubs for the first time. The French men’s Gaelic football team - made up entirely of Frenchmen, rather than Irish expats - will kick off their tour against Portobello GAA on Thursday July 18 at Leinster Road in Rathmines.READ MORE:'I'm an emotional guy' - Damien Duff's tears ahead of Shelbourne's Euro return

The French team is hoping for a big turnout of Irish fans to cheer them on as they test their Gaelic football skills against some vastly experienced stars.Saturday July 20: France vs. Beann Eadair GAA
