The Last Ditch tells the unique story of sports columnist Sweeney’s journey to follow the All-Ireland Championships in 2024. His plan was to retrace the footsteps chronicled in his 2004 bestselling book The Road to Croker, but there was one big problem – for many years he had struggled with a crippling travel phobia that confined him to his hometown in West Cork. This book made him confront his deepest fear. If you’d like to get involved with the GAA Museum Book Club can sign up for free.

On this day, 26th August, 1884 Michael Cusack penned a letter to Maurice Davin suggesting that a meeting take place in Munster “in some central place in Tipperary on the 1st November next” as the “Irish Association with its member must be formed before the end of this year”. Just over two months later, seven men attended a meeting at Hayes’ Hotel in Thurles, at which the Gaelic Athletic Association was established. The original letter is on loan to the GAA Museum from Pat Davin Walsh and on display as part of the museum’s permanent exhibition - stop by the museum to check it out! #gaamuseum #gaahistory #michaelcusack #mauricedavin #gaa
