How Did The National Leagues Begin?

from Over The Bar

As the National Leagues mark their centenary, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara go back to the very beginning to ask a simple question: how did they begin? The lads explore why the leagues were introduced, what problems they were designed to solve, and how they gradually became a cornerstone of the GAA calendar. For those who want more Gaelic Games History, you can join our Cairde Club for less than the price of a match programme for month - where you'll get exclusive episodes, bonus content, ad free and early release versions of the main podcast.
