Description
Mayo GAA clubs reflect on their glory days.
Hardback book 27cm by 21.5cm, 227 pages with over 200 colour and black & white photographs.
From All-Ireland senior titles for Crossmolina and Ballina to landmark Junior B crowns for Eastern Gaels and Kilfian, ‘Our Finest Hour’ is a celebration of all that is great about GAA clubs in Mayo. Written by experienced GAA journalist, Edwin McGreal, this book features glory days from 54 football and hurling clubs throughout the county but is also a tribute to the clubs themselves and what they give to their communities.
Featuring wonderful moments across seven decades – from 1958 – 2023 – it highlights some lesser-known stories and fresh perspectives on some famous days.
Based on first-person testimony from more than 200 men and women involved in these clubs and together with forensic research, it is illustrated with over 200 photographs, many of which have never been published before.
This book focuses on not just the glory days but the context behind them, the journeys that precipitated them, the fun and laughter, the sorrow and sadness, all of which offers a unique insight into each and every corner of the county.
Our Finest Hour is a treasure trove for everyone who loves the GAA, their club and their community.
