Each year the book captures the very heart and soul of Gaelic life in Ireland, from the players and teams themselves to the officials, volunteers and supporters. The collection of images from the award winning agency, Sportsfile, along with captions from GAA Communications Manager, Alan Milton.

One of the most cherished sporting books of the year, A Season of Sundays, celebrated its 15th year of publication. GAA President Christy Cooney attended the event at the Croke Park Hotel along with Cork hurling legend Seán Óg Ó hAilpín and members of the GAA fraternity.

A Season of Sundays 2011, is an album of memories and impressions from the 2011 GAA season which takes us back through the highs and lows across all 32 counties in one of the most exciting seasons in recent times.
The book captures the spectacular journey which saw Dublin finally raise the Sam Maguire again, after a 16 year wait, including the now famous Stephen Cluxton kick that sealed the win over Kerry. It also records the behind the scenes moments in the dressing room after Kilkenny regained their beloved hurling crown. The book’s creator, Ray McManus from Sportsfile comments; “All of the talking points from another great season are relived in the book. From the worthy winners throughout the Championships to the surprise packages such as London’s great run in the football. It also looks at the less high-profile moments that capture the essence of Gaelic Games up and down the country.”
