Edenderry GAA Club to be profiled in new RTÉ radio series

A new documentary series on RTÉ Radio One will take a look inside a handful of GAA clubs across the country, with Edenderry GAA in Offaly among those set to be featured.

The Pitch commences on RTÉ Radio 1 this Sunday at 7pm. Presented by John Murray, the series explores how these clubs are faring today, the unique challenges they face, and the role they play in their communities.

Throughout the series, John travels the country to hear powerful stories from clubs like Edenderry GAA, where a 'One Club' model has transformed the organisation over the past decade.

Edenderry GAA will feature in episode four of the series, which will air on Sunday, July 27.

Other clubs to be featured are Castlehaven GAA in West Cork, riding the crest of a wave at the moment and excelling on the pitch; Mullinalaghta in Longford, famed for their 2018 Leinster Club Football Championship victory against all odds; Sarsfields GAA in Galway, where the camogie team is achieving unprecedented success; and Dublin-based Na Gaeil Aeracha, the first LGBTQ+ club in the GAA, celebrating their first bit of silverware after just five years in existence.

John will also visit Loughgiel Shamrocks, a small community of just over 420 people in the glens of Antrim, whose hurling and camogie clubs have achieved remarkable success.

The Pitch kicks off this Sunday, July 6, at 7pm with Castlehaven GAA Club Cork featuring in the opening episode.
