Items related to Galway GAA in Old Photographs
Synopsis
Galway is almost unique in the GAA, in that it's one of only three counties which realistically has a chance of doing the double in the football and hurling championships - the others being Cork and Offaly. The remaining 29 counties are stronger in one game or the other. In 2001, Galway came close in achieving the double than ever before, winning the football but failing in the hurling final to Tipperary. Jack Mahon, himself a member of the football winning side of 1956, has put together this photographic history of the GAA in Co. Galway. It was one of the first counties where the GAA really flourished- its oldest clubs are as old as any in the country - and it continues to be one of the largest counties in the association with 81 affiliated clubs. Other books by Jack Mahon A History of Gaelic Football.
