From All-Ireland senior titles for Crossmolina and Ballina to landmark Junior B crowns for

Eastern Gaels and Kilfian, Our Finest Hour is a celebration of all that is great about GAA clubs

in Mayo.

Written by experienced GAA journalist, Edwin McGreal, this book features glory days from 54

football and hurling clubs throughout the county but is also a tribute to the clubs themselves and

what they give to their communities.

Featuring wonderful moments across seven decades – from 1958 to 2023 – it highlights some

lesser-known stories and fresh perspectives on some famous days.

Based on first-person testimony from more than 200 men and women involved in these clubs

and together with forensic research, is illustrated by over 200 photographs, many of which have

never been published before.

This book focuses not just on the glory days but the context behind them, the journeys that

precipitated them, the fun and laughter, the sorrow and sadness, all of which offers a unique

insight into each and every corner of the county.

Our Finest Hour is a treasure trove for everyone who loves the GAA, their club and their

community.

Presented as a wonderful hardback book, this book will be launched as part of the Wild Atlantic Words Festival on Saturday, October 12th
