The Club

A chronicle of a year in the life of St Joseph's Doora-Barefield GAA club in Co Clare. This chronicle of a year in the life of St Joseph''s Doora-Barefield GAA club in Co. Clare - which won the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year award for 2010 - breaks new ground in Irish sportswriting. Christy O''Connor, a national GAA correspondent who has also been the St Joseph''s senior team goalkeeper for 20 years, tells this story with unflinching honesty: a fly-on-the-wall tale of the effort, agony and struggles that define the journey undertaken every season by every club side. This is grassroots GAA at its purest and rawest, a great story brilliantly told.
