Anyone following the documentary series on TG4? Missed it last night (have it recorded) but found it interesting. Remarkably, there were records of hurling matches in America with large attendances in the 18th century. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 26/03/2015 15:12:26 1706771 Link 0 |
Paul Darby has written a lot about the GAA in America if anyone is interested in that. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 26/03/2015 15:27:23 1706776 Link 0 |
It is a very interesting series, particularly how old the hurling records go back to the 18th century. Well worth a look. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 26/03/2015 19:15:39 1706866 Link 0 |

Being brutally I have no time for the Irish language but this is one of the few programmes on TG4 that I've genuinely enjoyed, so credit where it's due, well done Dara and TG4. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 27/03/2015 13:48:07 1707015 Link 0 |

Last of the series was last night, very good end to what has been an enlightening series. Particularly the growth of the games away from the areas Irish J1'ners go to. To see kids pucking around on the streets of Milwaukee is quite interesting particularly as some of these clubs are mostly American adults and juveniles a lot with no connection to Ireland. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 09/04/2015 13:01:57 1712401 Link 0 |
Sure is arock and many clubs are now being run with no Irish born members. Such is the restriction on immigration today the numbers of Irish going and living and working in the US must be at its lowest ever levels (I am not counting the summer month J1'ers and students who go home in september). yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 09/04/2015 13:46:21 1712427 Link 0 |
