Toronto County Champions
Congratulations to our senior player Dessie Wisley, who was part of the Toronto Gaels team that won the 2026 Toronto GAA Senior Men’s Championship following their County Final victory over St Pat’s.
Dessie lined out in defence and was joined by a strong Leitrim contingent including Cormac Moran (Aughnasheelin), Ruairi King (St Mary’s Kiltoghert) and Dylan Mimna (Drumreilly). Sean Fee of Drumreilly was also involved as part of the Toronto Gaels management team.
This is a fantastic achievement for Dessie and everyone involved with Toronto Gaels. Congratulations to all and we hope the celebrations are well enjoyed.
