The All-China Gaelic Games were held in Beijing this weekend, with teams competing in a 7-a-side Gaelic football tournament Saturday. Men's and women's teams from Dalian, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Beijing faced off at Xiaowuji football grounds in southeast Beijing.

The home team won the women's competition, beating the Shanghai club soundly in the final game. Shanghai turned the tables for the men's final, beating Beijing with a score of 25-5.

Aside from the football played, plenty of Guinness was enjoyed on this cool and wet June day. The teams all migrated to an after party at the Irish embassy, hosted by the Irish ambassador to China.

China's Gaelic football teams are all-comers organizations that welcome new members for training, competing and socializing.
