This past weekend’s Space City Scramble Gaelic Football Tournament included a few familiar UST faces!

Dr. Martin Lockerd and Dr. Niall Buckley joined UST students David Leggett and Louis Belgrand on the Houston Gaels team. Best news of all - the team won! The Houston Gaels beat both Austin and Dallas.

Dr. Lockerd said the team was helped mightily by UST’s StudyUSA student from Belfast, David Leggett, who was awarded Player of the Tournament.

This is a great example of the fraternity of our faculty and students. Go Gaels and Go Celts!
