Report
The Goal Celebrity Flag Football Match was a match involving celebrities from RTE such as Pat Kenny, as well as Irish International Rugby Players such as Tony Ward. There were two teams in the main match – the GOAL Heroes (GOAL is an Irish International Development Organisation) and the RTE Heroes (RTE – Radio Teilifis Eireann – is the Irish National Broadcaster). It was played in aid of Charity for Developing Countries. There was also a Women’s match.
In 1989 RTE and Goal Stars tied the match 3-3.
It was played in conjunction with a fully kitted American Football match – usually between the Dublin Celts and Northern Irish teams, which was sponsored by Jack Daniels whiskey and known as the Jack Daniels Summer Bowl.
