thePodcast: B.C. the place to be on Labour Day weekend for Gaelic football and Canadian football – theBreaker

For the week of  Aug. 25, 2024:

On this edition of thePodcast, a late-summer football doubleheader. 

First, Canada’s best Gaelic football players (and hurling and camogie players, too) are coming to Burnaby for the Aug. 31-Sept. 1 Canadian National Championships. Co-organizer Ronan Deane of the Vancouver Gaelic Athletic Association joins host Bob Mackin to preview the festival of Ireland’s national sports.

Then, Mackin welcomes back Jim Mullin, the president of Football Canada and general secretary of the International Federation of American Football. 

Mullin is in Finland where Canada’s best flag football players are vying for the world championship on the road to the LA 28 Olympics. Mullin also looks ahead to the Aug. 31 Touchdown Pacific, when the B.C. Lions host the Ottawa RedBlacks in Victoria’s Royal Athletic Park. It will be the first Lions’ game in B.C. since 1969 on grass, a chance for quarterback Nathan Rourke to star in his birthplace and another example of owner Amar Doman’s province-wide vision for the Lions. 

Plus, this week’s Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
