Gaelic Games are the focus of endless debate and speculation, set the mood of Monday’s post-match workplace and dominate pub-talk. For many of us, life and death run second to major GAA events.
Blood, Sweat, Triumph & Tears looks back at some of the best moments from the sporting nation’s favourite soap opera. It pays homage to the great players and people in Gaelic football, hurling, ladies’ football and camogie. And it glories in the classic victories and thrilling contests witnessed down the decades.
Based on exclusive interviews with the greatest personalities in the GAA’s rich history, and covering every county in Ireland, here is a unique insight into the passion and politics, the controversies and crises, the wisdom and wit and all the highs and lows of Ireland’s national treasure.
Full of entertaining anecdotes, inspirational incidents and epic encounters, Blood, Sweat, Triumph & Tears truly captures the magic of the GAA.
