Duration: 57 min 36 s
Description: Our April World GAA Podcast reports on a first for NY GAA Underage Hurling, the latest from the Galicia League and their new tournaments, the rise, fall and rise again of an Australian club, exciting times for a new island Canadian outfit and one man’s mission to promote Hurling in America.

The Summer of ’98 is a vivid retelling of one of the most chaotic and colourful GAA seasons of all time. Over seven episodes Michael Foley revisits the story of a summer that ultimately transformed into a passageway for the GAA between one era and another, gathering together the stories and personalities that shaped not just that summer, but the entire age.

From the battling Clare hurlers to the soap opera twists that engulfed Offaly, the mould breaking footballers of Kildare and Galway, old rivalries renewed, moments of high controversy powered by emotion scarcely seen before or since, all backdropped by a summer of tragedy and tension in Northern Ireland that impacted every part of the island including the GAA, every last detail joins like a mosaic depicting one of the most important and game-changing years in the GAA’s long history.

The Summer of ’98 is written and produced for the GAA by Michael Foley and edited by Andrew Foley.
