Getting there is the toughest part.
Four points down, one man down: game over? Not on your nelly.
These Ballyboden players have been fighting their whole lives and it has led them to here: St. Patrick’s Day in Croke Park, 2016.
Darragh Nelson’s skill, his nerve, his heart will go down in St. Enda’s history but the Dubliners are 60 minutes from immortality now and they won’t stop.
Ahead of their All-Ireland club final with Castlebar, AIB GAA’s production of Ballyboden’s journey to Croker is nothing short of inspirational. The players and the manager talk about what it means to be representing their club on the biggest day of the calendar year and the shots around the community and what it took to get to this point are just rousing.
This is what it’s all about.
