Note: Articles have been written about our sports in the past by local journalists, but some were written in a dismissive and disparaging manner by describing them as a bunch of guys with funny accents and funny names running around a field in a game with no rules. If you are going to write anything, please be as positive and respectful as possible, and try to get across the excitement and entertaining nature of our great games.

To discuss any of this, please contact the divisional Public Relations Officer, Eamonn Gormley, at pro@sfgaa.org or on (650) 669 2164.

Thank you.
