Very excited that my book 'The GAA Covered' will be released by @Gill_Books on September 4th. It's a history of the GAA's match programmes dating back to 1913, featuring the covers of those programmes. Pre-order via the link in my bio.

We need you to check out your old match day programmes! Why? Because a hurling enthusiast is seeking a Leinster Senior hurling programme going back to 1976 between Dublin and Kildare in Aughrim, which Kildare won! If anybody can assist please text 087 279 7090. #FODHC

So are @officialgaa using AI art now? There are a ton of Irish artists who specialise in GAA illustration you could commission and support. Things are tough at the best of times but I might have to pack it in at this rate honestly if this is what we have to look forward to 😭

OTD 100yrs ago defining day in Gaelic football history - 10 Feb 1924. Kerry v Ex-Internees @ Tralee Sportfield [Austin Stack Park] brought peace thru football after Civil War. Kerry had no All-Ireland won since '14, but won 6 between '24 & '32 & never looked back. @Kerrys_Eye

When he turned 24, he still hadn't made his senior debut. Now, at 27, he's an All-Ireland winner, a three-time All-Star, and (as of last night) Kerry's captain. A piece on Paudie Clifford's remarkable journey to the top #GAA killarneyadvertiser.ie/sport…

Damien Martin is Offaly's longest-serving hurler (1964-86, championship debut in 1967). From 1955-2000, Offaly fielded a player in each championship season (46 consecutively) who played with or would go on to play with him. #GAA 1/2

On this date in 1959 Waterford won their last All Ireland Senior Hurling Title. We beat Kilkenny by 3-12 to 1-10 in a replay. I was there. Will I see another us win another title?
