Is this a world record coming up to the first ever GAA World Games? The Abu Dhabi Na Fianna Ladies Gaelic Football team is unbeaten in 70 games over the last three seasons.

Jerome Quinn filmed their latest success at the Al Ain Tournament in the United Arab Emirates and spoke to former Derry GAA Coach Shauna McCallion.

"I think it is a record. The last one was 30 games so we've improved that and we're not willing to give it up just yet," says Shauna.

Competition for places is a key factor at Na Fianna, and with seven teams, the pressure is always on the 'A' team to keep winning. "We had 150 players at our first training session and field seven teams. We have players who can't get games because the Tournaments aren't big enough."

Ladies Football is booming all over the Middle East and will be a major part of the World Games in Abu Dhabi on March 6/7.

"We are lucky to be hosting the Games here, it's fantastic and everybody wants to be part of it,", says Shauna.
