Last month in Dublin the Fitzpatrick Cup was played featuring the UCC Bombers, NRC Eagles and Oxford University from England. The fourth team in the tournament was the least known outside of Dublin – the DCU (Dublin City University) Aussie Rules Football Club. In the article by Odrán de Bhaldraithe, and reproduced with the kind permission of the university’s publication, The College View, the event is seen through the eyes of the DCU team.
DCU Aussie Rules Football Club took part in the making of history recently as they participated in Europe’s first ever intervarsity Australian Rules competition, the Fitzpatrick Cup.
Joined by University College Cork Bombers, Northern Regional College Eagles and Oxford University Australian Rules Football Club, Civil Service GAA Grounds in Islandbridge played host to the inaugural Fitzpatrick Cup.

So much for no one giving a fuck about AF in the British Isles, this year marks an expansion to their varsity competition to a fourth club! An event that started with Oxford and Cambridge Universities is now on the verge of encompassing all the higher levels of education!

Or indeed you could just make up an international competition and call it a World Cup - kinda like RL!
