Offaly images feature in latest 'Season of Sundays' GAA photo book

The latest edition of the popular GAA photography book A Season of Sundays was officially launched this week, ahead of the festive season, by the GAA President, Jarlath Burns.

For 28 years, Sportsfile's A Season of Sundays has earned a reputation as the definitive visual record of the GAA season.

The 2024 edition, which features photos from games involving Offaly, is fronted by a scene of a battle between the Cork and Clare hurlers that was captured by Dáire Brennan.

Speaking at the launch, the book’s publisher and Sportsfile owner, Ray McManus, said; "As the GAA season fades, A Season of Sundays captures the year's most unforgettable moments and gives fans the chance to relive the excitement. Even in our digital age, a single image can speak a thousand words, and A Season of Sundays proves that photography still holds the power to move us.

"We're extremely grateful to our talented team who capture these images, rain, hail or shine and I'd also like to extend my thanks to Alan Milton in the GAA who has penned wonderful captions that so perfectly summarise these moments."

Uachtarán CLG Jarlath Burns said, "A GAA calendar year would not be complete without the publication of another offering of the eagerly awaited pictorial journey that is A Season of Sundays and I am glad to acknowledge this latest instalment.

"Few see more GAA activity – both on and off the field – than Ray McManus and his team of Sportsfile photographers and this year's edition in no way bucks that trend.

"The breadth and quality of the imagery captured is - as ever - of the highest standard and bookends another incredible year in the life of the Association."

Sportsfile said it was once again very grateful for Forvis Mazars’ continued partnership on A Season of Sundays, as they enter their second year of sponsorship.

The book is available at bookstores nationwide and online at www.sportsfile.com and is priced at €29.95.
