The West Coast Sevens is an annual tournament that happens in San Diego. There were 21 teams competing in Mens and Ladies Football, and 15 teams competing in hurling and camogie. It's something I look forward to every year. This tournament is the perfect blend of Irish and Americans, it's just about those who love Gaelic Sports. And this year, there was a team who flew from Kilkenny to compete in Senior Hurling.
