How it all happens from the grass roots in the Clubs to Croke Park is also covered from the diggers and dumpers, to the picking of the stones on the new pitch. Onwards the story goes through Cutting the Grass, Rolling the Bales, Launching Books, Throwing wet Sponges and Horse Shoes and selling Timber to keep the scene rolling smoothly along.
With Highlights for every one, a rare intercounty football win is covered along with all of the Schools and Colleges ties.
Put together by a team of volunteers who were aided and abetted by Club PRO’s and Photographers, the group were supported by a range of Advertisers reflecting the A-Z of Business Life.
