We’re back baby!
The GAA is finally back on our screens after the Christmas break and just sprinkles of club games here and there – now we have a feast to choose from.
The club season is of course still ongoing, but more importantly, it’s in the semi-final stages, and after this Sunday we will know who our finalists are in the football club All-Ireland.
St Brigid’s play Castlehaven first and that’s quickly followed by a mouthwatering match up between Watty Graham’s Glen and Kilmacud Crokes.
The Intermediate and Junior club games are in the business end of the campaign as well, while the inter county season is officially up and running, with pretty much every county involved in the pre-season competitions between hurling and football.
