Excuses from the Dingoes....you would think they walked over from Dubai rather than sitting on a bus for a few hours. No doubt the travelling side were somewhat undermanned, but a gritty effort by the Muscat boys should be acknowledged - a 6 goal win over the Dingoes in what was the first ever AFL game held in the Sultanate of Oman. The local GCC club (Clann na hOman) have been great supporters and contributors to getting aussie rules moving in Oman; the irish boys making up around half the team, with a handfull of aussies, the odd romanian and a few poms thrown in. Hoping to keep the momentum moving to the Dubai 9's, as the Muscat Magpies.

Unfortunately, word around Muscat town is that the Dingoes did nothing off the field to endear themselves or the code....unfortunate given they aspire to promote the game in the region.

Good to hear the Muscat Magpies might be a goer for a stable club.

Any updates on whether the local league with the Dubai sides, Oman and Doha
might get off the ground?

Early days so hard to say...a lot depends on the interest we can get for the 9s tournament in Dubai in March and whether we can keep blokes interested longer term. Turnover of expats in a smaller place like Muscat will always make it hard, but there is a growing aussie & kiwi population so we hope to keep building interest alongside the Gaelic game. Given the relatively more established Gaelic teams in the region, international rules games may be more successful.
