Brave Brussels GAA club pay defiant tribute to city after devastating terror attacks

Terror will not win

Sport must go on.

People in Brussels are still trying to come to terms with the horrifying events that paralysed their city earlier this week which resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds injured.

The bombs that exploded at the city’s airport, as well as on one of the city’s busiest metro rail lines, sent shockwaves not only through Belgium, but all of the Europe.

Thankfully there were no Irish casualties in Tuesday’s shocking events, and last night the local GAA club in the city paid their own special tribute to those who lost their lives in this week’s devastating terror attacks.

The GAA has faced many challenges in its existence, and the local Belgian-Irish community has vowed to carry on playing the sport they love, in the city they love, no matter what.
