Description
Fans always answer in the affirmative when their team asks: Will you still love me tomorrow? But everyone knows that it's the passion and energy of rivalries that fuel true fandom. These intense, dramatic rivlaries are what give the Gaelic Games their powerful draw. With exclusive interviews with a veritable Who's Who of the Gaelic Games, here are shocking insights into the controversies, epic matches and thrilling events on and off the field that such rivalries have generated. This book, written with the intimate knowledge of an insider, recalls incidents thathave never before come to public attention. Full of arresting anecdotes, it captures the unique pride of Ireland's greatest national treasures: Gaelic football, hurling, women's football and camogie.
