Description

The GAA in Louisburgh: 2012-2022 – tells the story of Louisburgh GAA and LGFA from 2012 to 2022.

Louisburgh GAA club man Tommy Morahan adopted a unique approach to this history of the club. Featuring news items published in the local newspaper The Mayo News along with 450 photographs and excerpts from meeting reports, this is a book that can be picked up for minutes or for hours.

The result is a beautifully presented hard-back book with 450 photographs and an easy-to-read record of the period – perfect for coffee table reading.

The book includes information about following: the All-Ireland LGFA and GAA medals won by the club members; how a local father and son both won All-Ireland minor medals; how Louisburgh native Claire Egan paved the way for Louisburgh LGFA while winning at the highest level; how the offshore island of Clare Island feeds into Louisburgh GAA; the day Jim Gavin, former Dublin team manager, called in to the senior lads’ team; the 21st anniversary of the founding of the LGFA in Louisburgh; how Scór participation helps to deliver dancing and musical success in the community.
