Winner of the MacNamee award in Ireland for best GAA related book, Kildare GAA is an exhaustive history of Ireland’s most popular games in the county which won four All Ireland titles in a 23 year period before 1928 but has inexplicably failed to win since. Politics, religion, culture, folklore and social history are all drawn in to the fabric of the story and a comprehensive 136-page statistical section lists every player who has played for the county between 1884 and 1983, as well as important club teams and results.
