Great GAA Moments 2006

Since its foundation in 1884 the GAA has helped to shape and cultivate Irish society. Now in its 122nd year, it generates more excitement, passion, drama, controversy and heartbreak then ever before. Great GAA Moments 2006 recalls the stories that made the headlines, reveals the drama behind the scenes and portrays the colour and excitement of the big match days at both club and county level. From the drama of the Omagh Brawl to jubilant celebrations of the ‘West’s Awake’, as both Club Championship titles travelled back across the Shannon; from the tension created by the GPA’s threat to strike, to the clash of the best hurling and football teams on this island, the year was packed with unforgettable GAA events. Accompanied by superb action shots from the field, Great GAA Moments 2006 brings to the reader images and tales of a spectacular season in Gaelic sport.
