Croí an Chlub: Round Tower feature on tv show
GAA Clubs are the cornerstone of parishes all over Ireland fostering a sense of community and togetherness.
In a new seven part serious ‘Croí an Chlub’ starting on January 13 at 8pm on TG4, the programme tells the stories of four very different GAA clubs as they compete, battle for honours, and strive to survive as they return to play in 2021.
The show joins the communities and families of four GAA clubs, Round Tower in Clondalkin, Naomh Muire in Donegal, Cumann Mícheál Breathnach in Galway and and Naomh Abán in Cork.
In the first episode of this new series, Cumann Micheál Breathnach manager Cárthach Bán Breathnach returns home for the first time in a while, Naomh Abán senior teams finally return to training for last season’s U21 final, young footballers from Tower’s are delighted to return to the pitch and the intercounty game returns with Róisín Nic Ruairí from Naomh Muire in the thick of it for the Donegal Ladies team.
In the second episode, the season is in full swing for Mícheál Breathnach who face their first real challenge of the season, Róisín returns to her own club Naomh Muire, Naomh Abán play last season’s U21 semi-final but there is some bad luck for Round Tower’s camogie team.
